Mice and humans evaluate odor stimulus strength using common psychophysical principles

Beatrice Barra, Robert Pellegrino, Jacqueline Zhao, Christiane Danilo, Aiden Streleckis, Timothy Reizis, Dmitry A. Rinberg, Joel D. Mainland

This study shows mice and humans use a common perceptual scale to assess odor intensity, demonstrating shared principles in stimulus evaluation.

High-frequency amplitude-modulated sinusoidal stimulation desynchronizes neural activity and enhances naturalness of evoked sensations

Beatrice Barra, David Samuel Rose, Ritesh Kumar, Chaitanya Gopinath, Ehsan Mirzakhalili, Scott F. Lempka, Robert A. Gaunt, Eric Daniel Głowacki, Lee E. Fisher

This paper introduces a new electrical stimulation waveform that evokes more naturalistic neural activity than traditional methods, as shown by human experiments and computational modeling.

Motor cortical dynamics are shaped by multiple distinct subspaces during naturalistic behavior

Matthew G. Perich, Sara Conti, Marion Badi, Andrew R. Bogaard, Beatrice Barra, Kanaka Rajan, Jocelyne Bloch, Grégoire Courtine, Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Tomislav Milekovic

Recordings from four monkeys handling objects place input-driven activity in one putative somatosensory-feedback subspace of motor cortex, prominent around error correction and probed by stimulating ascending tracts.

A VERSATILE ROBOTIC PLATFORM FOR THE DESIGN OF NATURAL, THREE-DIMENSIONAL REACHING AND GRASPING TASKS IN MONKEYS

Beatrice Barra, Marion Badi, Matthew G. Perich, Sara Conti, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Fabien Moreillon, Andrew R. Bogaard, Sophie M. Wurth, Mélanie Kaeser, Philippe Passeraub, Tomislav Milekovic, Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso

The paper introduces a robotic platform for monitoring sensorimotor signals during natural reaching and grasping tasks in monkeys, demonstrating its use in kinematic studies, neural recordings, and brain-computer interface development.
