Conventional therapies do not provide paralyzed patients with closed-loop sensorimotor integration for motor rehabilitation. Paired associative stimulation (PAS) uses brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to monitor patients' movement imagery in real-time, and utilizes the information to control functional electrical stimulation (FES) and bar feedback for complete sensorimotor closed loop. ...

The stabilization of switched linear systems with constrained inputs (SLSCI) is considered. The authors design admissible linear state feedbacks and the switching rule which has a minimal dwell time (MDT) to stabilized the system. First, for each subsystem with constrained inputs, a stabilizing linear state feedback and an invariant set of the closed-loop system are simultaneously constructed, ...

In this report, we propose a periodic state feedback control law for a class of continuous-time linear periodic systems. The proposed control law generates a sufficiently high frequency sinusoidal in the coefficient of a closed loop system, then the closed loop system is shown to be exponentially stable based on the averaging method. It is also shown that a closed loop solution is approximated ...

It is known that many subspace algorithms give biased estimates for closed-loop data due to the existence of feedback. In this paper we present a new subspace identification method using the parity space employed in fault detection in the past. The basic algorithm, known as subspace identification method via principal component analysis (SIMPCA), gives consistent estimation of the deterministic...

We examined accommodative vergence eye movements under conditions in which feedback about retinal-image slip was and was not present (i.e. closed-loop and open-loop conditions). We found that (a) in both conditions the two eyes started to move at the same time; (b) in the open-loop condition, vergence continued in both eyes; and (c) in the closed-loop condition, vergence continued in the occlud...

This paper investigate the stabilizability of 2-D linear discrete-time systems described by the Roesser model with closed-loop positivity. Necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of desired state-feedback controllers guaranteeing the resultant closed-loop system to be asymptotically stable and positive is obtained. The synthesis of state-feedback controllers, including the requirem...

In this paper we propose some new solutions to the full information mixed H 2 =H 1 state feedback problem: the H 2 norm of the closed-loop system is minimized over a class of linearly combined state feedback laws that satisfy the speciied H 1 bound. Such mixed linearly combined controllers yield smaller closed-loop H 2 norms than those obtained by using the central solutions of the H 1 problem....

We consider a class of nonlinear control systems for which stabilizing feedbacks and corresponding Lyapunov functions for the closed loop systems are available. In the presence of feedback delays and actuator errors, we explicitly construct input-tostate stability (ISS) Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals for the resulting feedback delayed dynamics, in terms of the available Lyapunov functions for ...
