EMG-BIDS: an extension to the Brain Imaging Data Structure for electromyography

EMG-BIDS standardizes EMG data organization, enabling FAIR data sharing and supporting machine learning applications.

The Limited Range of Motion of the Knee Does Not Fully Explain the Altered Neural Control of Plantar Flexors During Gait in Non-Neurological Knee Flexion Contracture

This study compares neural control of plantar flexors during gait between individuals with knee flexion contracture and controls, finding increased neural drive and common input in the chronic group despite similar knee motion.

Reduced belief updating impairs adaptive step initiation in older adults

This study shows that older adults have slower anticipatory postural adjustments and reduced belief updating during gait initiation, suggesting cognitive control changes contribute to age-related mobility declines.

Dynamics of brain-muscle networks reveal effects of age and somatosensory function on gait

The paper analyzes brain-muscle networks during gait to show age-related reductions in neuromuscular connectivity and compensatory changes in individuals with impaired foot tactile sensitivity.

TDCS modulates working memory maintenance processes in healthy individuals

This study examines how tDCS affects working memory processes by analyzing changes in frontal theta event-related synchronisation and response times in healthy participants.

The effects of conscious movement processing on the neuromuscular control of posture

This study examines how conscious movement processing affects neuromuscular control of posture, finding increased postural sway and reduced complexity under high-CMP conditions.

Reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation evoked potentials to detect the effects of theta-burst stimulation of the prefrontal cortex

This study evaluates the reliability of TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) to detect changes in cortical excitability after theta-burst stimulation (TBS) of the prefrontal cortex.

The effects of long-term exercise training on the neural control of walking

This study examines how long-term exercise training affects the neural control of walking by analyzing kinematics, muscle synergies, and gait parameters in athletes and non-athletes under different conditions.

Corticomuscular control of walking in older people and people with Parkinson’s disease

This study examines age and Parkinson’s disease effects on corticospinal control during walking, finding reduced low beta band coherence and altered gait timing in older and PD participants.

Assessing neurophysiological changes associated with combined transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive emotional training for treatment-resistant depression

This study examines neurophysiological changes from combined tDCS and CET in treatment-resistant depression, finding limited effects despite mood and working memory improvements.

Information decomposition of multichannel EMG to map functional interactions in the distributed motor system

This study uses information decomposition of EMG data to analyze functional interactions between muscles during postural tasks, revealing task-dependent changes in neural networks.

Network structure of the human musculoskeletal system shapes neural interactions on multiple timescales

The paper uses network analysis to show that anatomical constraints shape functional connectivity between muscles during postural tasks.

Effects of tDCS Dosage on Working Memory in Healthy Participants

This study examines the effect of tDCS dosage on working memory and finds no significant performance differences but notes neurophysiological changes in P3 amplitude.

Functional connectivity in neuromuscular system underlying bimanual muscle synergies

The paper investigates how corticomuscular and intermuscular coherence contribute to bimanual muscle synergies by manipulating visual feedback sensitivity in healthy participants.
