Bilateral robot therapy based on haptics and reinforcement learning: Feasibility study of a new concept for treatment of patients after stroke.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To carry out a preliminary feasibility study of a new concept of robot therapy for severely impaired patients after stroke. DESIGN: A haptic manipulandum connected to a bar that can rotate freely while providing a measure of the rotation ... Read more...

Operant matching as a Nash equilibrium of an intertemporal game.

29 Sep 2009 Over the past several decades, economists, psychologists, and neuroscientists have conducted experiments in which a subject, human or animal, repeatedly chooses between alternative actions and is rewarded based on choice history. While individual ... Read more...

A neurocomputational model for cocaine addiction.

29 Sep 2009 Based on the dopamine hypotheses of cocaine addiction and the assumption of decrement of brain reward system sensitivity after long-term drug exposure, we propose a computational model for cocaine addiction. Utilizing average reward temporal ... Read more...
