However, the effectiveness RUSI on single sustained contraction lumbar multifidus (LM) transversus abdominis (TrA) rarely reported.

In this issue Toth et al. [1] discusses the role of peripheral and brain derived dopamine (DA) in immune regulation. Here we consider briefly the possible way by which hormones and other central regulatory factors act peripherally in vivo. During the early years of the nineteenth centaury Endocrinologists recognized first when searching for the origin of hormones, that “everything is made every...

One of the main problems in Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems is the non-stationary behavior of the electroencephalography (EEG) signals causing problems in real time applications. Another common problem in BCI systems is the situation where the labeled data are scarce. In this study, we take a semi-supervised learning perspective and propose solving both types of problems by updating the ...
