Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.7K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

129.2K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Nature and Nurture01:10

Nature and Nurture

22.4K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.7K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles01:43

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.4K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Summary

The brain can learn to control both brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and natural movements simultaneously. This research shows that neural signals can be dissociated from their original motor functions, enabling independent control.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) traditionally rely on movement-related cortical signals.
  • Concurrent BCI and natural movement control presents challenges due to potential signal interference.
  • Existing BCIs may limit natural motor function when used simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if the brain can learn to control both a BCI and concurrent overt movements independently.
  • To explore the dissociation of neural control signals from their associated motor behaviors.
  • To assess the feasibility of simultaneous BCI and natural limb movement coordination.

Main Methods:

  • Experiments designed for concurrent BCI and overt movement control in a 2D task.
  • Utilized 70-90 Hz band power from human electrocorticography (ECoG) signals for BCI control.
  • Recorded ECoG signals from cortical sites associated with both BCI and overt finger movements.

Main Results:

  • Three subjects successfully performed concurrent BCI and natural movement tasks.
  • Demonstrated simultaneous and largely independent control of BCI and natural movements.
  • Showcased the brain's ability to dissociate control signals from associated behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • The brain can learn to generate distinct BCI control signals during ongoing overt movements.
  • Cortical activity can be dissociated from its originally associated behavior.
  • Simultaneous control of devices via BCI alongside natural limb movements is feasible.
