A Novel Capacitive Step Sensor to Trigger Stimulation on Functional Electrical Stimulators Devices for Drop Foot
Drop foot is a typical clinical condition associated with stroke. According to the World Health Organization, fifteen million people suffer a stroke per year, and one of three people’s survival gets drop foot. Functional Electrical Stimulation systems are applied over the peroneal motor nerve to achieve the drop foot problem’s dorsiflexion. An accurate and reliable way to identify in real–time the gait phases to trigger and finish the stimulation is needed. This paper proposes a new step sensor with a custom capacitive pressure sensors array located under the heel to detect a gait pattern in real-time ...

A Copernican Approach to Brain Advancement: The Paradigm of Allostatic Orchestration
The objective of this presentation is to explore historical, scientific, interventional, and other differences between the two paradigms, so that innovators, researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, patients, end-users, and others can gain clarity with respect to both the explicit and implicit assumptions associated with brain advancement agendas of any kind. Over the course of three decades, a series of brain-centric, evolution-inspired insights have been articulated with increasing refinement, as principles of allostasis (Sterling and Eyer, 1988; Sterling, 2004, 2012, 2014). Allostasis recognizes that the role of the ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Use in Warfighting: Benefits, Risks, and Future Prospects
Conclusion The aim of this paper was to examine whether military tDCS use can be efficacious and ethical in military settings. Our assessment is that tDCS offers a number of cognitive, motor, and perceptual enhancement opportunities which could provide value in military situations like training and operations. There is potential scope for use in a number of key areas that directly affect practical battlefield advantage and survivability, such as deceptive capabilities, risk-taking, threat detection, perception, and physiological improvement. Additionally, tDCS has the potential to improve command and control decision maki...

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period. Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.   Multiplexed mass spectrometry assay identifies neurodegeneration biomarkers in CSF Presenter: Chelsky...

The P300 in middle cerebral artery strokes or hemorrhages: Outcome predictions and source localization
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and is the third leading cause of death worldwide (Murray and Lopez, 1997). According to the World Health Organisation, a total of 15 million people suffer a stroke each year. Strokes can principally be classified into two main categories, ischemic and hemorrhagic (Donnan et al., 2008). 85% of all strokes are of ischemic origin (Qureshi et al., 2001) and most commonly occur within the territory of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). The MCA supplies the lateral portion of the cerebral cortex (about 60–70% of the hemisphere).

P 102. Transcranial direct current stimulation for improving aphasia after stroke. First results of a systematic Cochrane Review
Conclusion: Our review showed that in some studies tDCS might facilitate word retrieval after stroke and hence might improve aphasia. However, it is still unclear if tDCS could improve functional communication. Thus further research seems to be needed.

P 101. Transcranial direct current stimulation for improving function and activities of daily living in patients after stroke. First results of a systematic Cochrane-Review
Conclusion: Our review showed that in some studies tDCS might improve upper extremity function. However, it is still unclear if tDCS could improve generic ADL. Thus further research seems to be needed.
