The just noticeable difference (JND) reveals the key characteristic of visual perception, which has been widely used in many perception-based image and video applications. Nevertheless, modulatory mechanism human system (HVS) not fully exploited JND threshold estimation, results existing models being accurate enough. In this article, by analyzing feedforward feedback behaviors HVS, an enhanced ...

Humans are intermittently exposed to large variations in potassium intake, which range from periods of fasting to ingestion of potassiumrich meals. These fluctuations would abruptly alter plasma potassium concentration if not for rapid mechanisms, primarily in skeletal muscle and the liver, that buffer the changes in plasma potassium concentration by means of transcellular potassium redistribut...

Feedforward and feedback inhibition are two fundamental modes of operation widespread in the nervous system. We have functionally identified synaptic connections between rat CA1 hippocampal interneurons of the stratum oriens (SO) and interneurons of the stratum lacunosum moleculare (SLM), which can act as feedback and feedforward interneurons, respectively. The unitary inhibitory postsynaptic c...

In this study, we utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine which brain regions contribute to feedback and feedforward motor control processes. Several studies have investigated the contributions of cortical and subcortical brain regions to motor performance by independently varying factors such as movement rate, force, and speed, and observing the neural responses. Such ...

This paper is to study the tracking control of a piezoceramic actuator (PA). Due to the inherent hysteresis nonlinearity, the PA always causes position error in the open-loop system and instability in the closed-loop system. To remedy this problem, a new control method combining the feedforward and feedback controllers is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the PA. In the feedforward...

This paper presents a discrete time adaptive inversion scheme for linear systems and its usage in adaptive feedforward and feedback controllers. Two parameter adaptation algorithms (PAA) were used in the proposed schemes. The first PAA applies the extended bias-eliminating least-squares (EBELS) algorithm for plant estimation to ensure convergent to a tuned model under colored noise and unmodele...

When a visually guided reaching movement is unexpectedly perturbed, it is implicitly corrected in two ways: immediately after the perturbation by feedback control (online correction) and in the next movement by adjusting feedforward motor commands (offline correction or motor adaptation). Although recent studies have revealed a close relationship between feedback and feedforward controls, the n...
