Age-related Reorganization of Corticomuscular Connectivity During Locomotor Perturbations
How does the brain communicate with muscles during unexpected perturbations, and how does this change with age? We investigated corticomuscular connectivity during perturbed recumbent stepping in young and older adults …

Older adults use fewer muscles to overcome perturbations during a seated locomotor task
Older adults often demonstrate greater co-contraction and motor errors than young adults in response to motor perturbations. We demonstrated that older adults reduced their motor errors more than young adults with brief …

Non-Parametric Functional Muscle Network as a Robust Biomarker of Fatigue
We show that the effects of fatigue on muscle coordination and neural drive can be reliably characterized using a non-parametric functional muscle network. The network demonstrated a consistent decrease in connectivity …

Nonlinear functional muscle network based on information theory tracks sensorimotor integration post stroke
We show that InfoMuNet, a novel functional biomarker based on a nonlinear network graph of muscle connectivity, can quantify the role of sensory information on motor performance. We demonstrate its potential use in …

Perilaryngeal-Cranial Functional Muscle Network Differentiates Vocal Tasks: A Multi-Channel sEMG Approach
We explored the potential of a functional muscle network to differentiate vocal tasks. The network robustly differentiated vocal tasks, while classic muscle activation assessment failed to differentiate. The study also …
