In this article we introduce partial retraining, an algorithm to determine the relevance of the input variables of a trained neural network. We place this algorithm in the context of other approaches to relevance determination. Numerical experiments on both artificial and real-world problems show that partial retraining outperforms its competitors, which include methods based on constant substi...

A controlled trial of retraining of the sensory function of the hand was undertaken in hemiplegic patients after the period of spontaneous recovery. Twenty hemiplegic patients with sensory deficit in the hand, two or more years after stroke, received systematic retraining three times a week for six weeks. Sensation in the plegic hand was tested before and after this period in these patients and...

Electroconvulsive shock [ECS] or puromycin administered prior to training did not significantly impair acquisition of shock-avoidance in goldfish. Significant retention deficits are observed on retraining 72 hr later in groups of fish that received ECS 2.5, 1 or 0.5 hr before training as well as in groups that received ECS 0, 4 or 24 hr after training. Puromycin produces significant retention d...

BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common overuse injury in runners. Recent research suggests that hip mechanics play a role in the development of this syndrome. Currently, there are no treatments that directly address the atypical mechanics associated with this injury. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether gait retraining using real-time feedbac...
