Detecting and Predicting Muscle Fatigue during Typing By SEMG Signal Processing and Artificial Neural Networks

Introduction: Repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. Repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...

Spatiotemporal Neural Pattern Similarity Supports Episodic Memory

Formal computational models of human memory posit a central role of feature representations in episodic memory encoding and retrieval [1-4]. Correspondingly, fMRI studies have found that, in addition to activity level [5, 6], the neural activation pattern similarity across repetitions (i.e., self-similarity) was greater for subsequently remembered than forgotten items [7-9]. This self-similarit...

Editorial: Artificial Neural Networks as Models of Neural Information Processing

In artificial intelligence (AI), new advances make it possible that artificial neural networks (ANNs) learn to solve complex problems in a reasonable amount of time (LeCun et al., 2015). To the computational neuroscientist, ANNs are theoretical vehicles that aid in the understanding of neural information processing (van Gerven). These networks can take the form of the rate-based models that are...
