A neural-oscillator network model of temporal pattern generation. Human Movement Science 11, 181-192. Abstract. Most contemporary neural network models deal with essentially static, perceptual problems of classification and transformation. Models such as multi-layer feedforward perceptrons generally do not incorporate time as an essential dimension, whereas biological neural networks are inherently temporal systems. In modelling motor behaviour, however, it is essential to have models that are able to produce temporal patterns of varying duration and complexity. A model is proposed, based on a network of pulse oscillators consisting of neuron/interneuron (NiN) pairs. Due to the inherent temporal properties, a simple NiN net, taught by a pseudo-Hebbian learning scheme, could be used in simulating handwriting pen-tip displacement of individual letters.

Cc: antonio@sirmio.jpl.nasa.gov I have preprints and would like to exchange ideas on the following paper/subject: Fiorini P., Giancaspro A., Losito S. and Pasquariello G. Neural Networks for Off-line Segmentation of Teleoperation Tasks. International Symposium of Intelligent Control, Glasgow, Scotland, 8/1992. Abstract In recent years, research in telemanipulation has been primarily concerned with problems related to the control of teleoperators and to their Man-Machine aspects. Only recently, the need has arisen of evaluating the performance of teleoperator systems during the execution of realistic tasks. This research describes the design of a classifier for the recognition of teleoperation tasks' phases, independently of variations due to differences in working conditions and in phases' sequences. An Artificial Neural Networks recognizes tasks' phases by using force data. Two network architectures have been tested. The first one is based on turning temporal sequences into spatial patterns. The second architecture extends the first model by including network's output in the input array. Experimental data are classified off-line by a Hidden Markov Model providing the transition times and the corresponding segmentation for the training data. We found that the first architecture needs a high number of iterations for learning the associations, while the latter has a high convergency speed.

David Willshaw has a small computational neuroscience research group, funded principally by a Medical Research Council Programme Grant. The group uses analytic and computer simulation methods to investigate problems in neurobiology that are tractable by theoretical means. Research on neural network algorithms which have a relevance to the neurobiological themes is also undertaken. The present focus of research is on three topics. 1) An examination of the possible role of such structures as the hippocampus, the cerebellum and the neocortex in associative storage and retrieval of information. 2) The role of competitive mechanisms in the development of connections in the neuromuscular system. 3) Models for the development of ordered connections in the visual system; in particular, the development of retinotopic connections and ocular dominance stripes. The group has strong contacts with neuroscience research groups in Edinburgh, particularly in the Departments of Physiology and Pharmacology, and with the MRC Centre for Brain and Behaviour Research at Oxford. It is at the centre of the lively neural networks environment at Edinburgh, with excellent contacts with research groups in Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Psychology, Human Communication Research Centre, amongst others. The group contributes to an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and to a post-graduate course on neural networks. Anyone interested in this position is invited to contact David Willshaw for more information and with a brief outline of relevant interests and experience. The group uses a small network of Sun Workstations and Xterminals, and experience of these would be a strong advantage. The post is funded according to the AR1A postdoctoral scale (annual salary 12129 - 19328 pounds) and is tenable for three years in the first instance, renewable for a further two years. Details of how to apply for this post will be available shortly.

T. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ph.D. Dissertation Defense ON THE USE AND REPRESENTATION OF SENSORY INFORMATION OF THE ARM BY ROBOTS AND HUMANS Ernest Dean Fasse 3:30 p.m., Friday, September 11, 1992 Room 3-343, M. I. T. Robots and humans use mechanical sensory information from the arm in control of the arm as well as in perception of mechanical properties of the arm and external objects. This thesis looks at the use and representation of sensory information in control and perception of robotic and human arms. One observa- tion is that humans are capable of purposeful movement in the absence of sen- sory information whereas most robots are not. This difference in robustness to sensory deprivation is shown to be attributable to a difference in the under- lying stability properties of the actuators. A preliminary actuator design is presented that is robust to deprivation of sensory information. The issue of representation of information is important in any discussion of computation. A series of experiments were performed to look for evidence of structure in the way humans represent mechanical information. The principal hypothesis tested was that human perception of mechanical qualities is dis- torted in a locally linear, metrically consistent manner, as is commonly assumed in robotic control schemes. Five perception experiments and two motor control experiments were performed. In the perception experiments subjects made judgements about mechanical properties of objects simulated by a planar robot. In the first motor control experiment subjects drew circles. In the second experiment subjects interacted with circular constraints simulated by the robot. The principal hypothesis is shown to be false. The perceptual and motor beha- vior observed in the experiments could not be explained by a single, unifying, locally linear metric. Two positive results of the experiments are: (1) The so-called tangential-radial illusion, where radial distances are perceived to be longer than equal tangential distances, is misnamed. Although human per- ception of length is distorted on the order of 20% and repeatable among sub- jects, there is nothing special about the tangential and radial directions. (2) The shapes drawn in the circle drawing experiment were consistent with those predicted by the length perception experiment. This suggests that both behaviors are manifestations of a common, underlying phenomenon. Thesis Committee: Prof. Neville Hogan, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering (Chairman) Prof. William K.

Unfortunately, in my present location (NASA) I can not employ him, since he is NOT citizen, neither a permanent resident. (Is this a condition at NIH? If yes, skip this message). However, if there is no such condition, perhaps he could be a VERY suitable person for the job, especially if a neural net/modeling approach is what you have in mind. I write this letter from home (telneting to NASA) thus his e-mail address is not with me, but if you are interested, please drop a note.

Because I am going to run a pilot study during the summer, I would like to know if anyone out there has experience with similar experiments. In a nutshell: I expose human subjects to sinusoidal vibration and monitor muscle activity before, during and after the vibration exposure and a stabilometry test. While I was going over the literature, I could not get around the immense amount of work done on segmental vibration and there are several studies that caught my eye because of the fact that they showed a systemic response to local (segmental) vibration. Symptoms were not only found at the the site of exposure (the hands) but also in the feet, for example. I am curious if anyone could tell me if similar findings are known for whole-body vibration. after quite a few articles, I could not find anything of that nature, but then again, it seems that we are not all that sure about the injury mechanism that causes whole-body vibration related diseases. I would appreciate any response, and will let you know what happens with our experiments. Ben F.

In order to prevent this from happening again in the future, I have added a moderator for messages from non-list-members to the rest of the list. I believe that the program implementing the interposition is functioning correctly, and that there will be no further disquieting of our relative tranquility. I could, however, be entirely and tragically wrong on that point. As one must in any event, be at all times prepared for the worst of possibilites, I sincerely hope and expect that said preparations will not prove additionally unsettling.

Feldman (1,2,4) & Mindy F. Levin (2,3,4) Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Montreal (1) Research Centre, Rehabilitation Institute of Montreal, H3S 2J4 (2) School of Rehabilitation, University of Montreal (3) Centre for Research in Neurological Sciences, University of Montreal (4) EMAIL:Feldman@ere.umontreal.ca KEYWORDS: motor control, frames of reference, motoneurons, control variables, proprioception, kinaesthesis, equilibrium points, multi-muscle systems, pointing, synergy, redundancy problem. ABSTRACT: A hypothesis about sensorimotor integration (the lambda model) is described and applied to movement control and kinesthesia. The nervous system organizes positional frames of reference for the sensorimotor apparatus and produces active movements by shifting frames in terms of spatial coordinates. Kinematic and electromyographic patterns are not programmed but emerge from the dynamic interaction of the system's components, including external forces, within the designated frame of reference. Motoneuronal threshold properties and proprioceptive inputs to motoneurons may be important components in the physiological mechanism which produces positional frames of reference. The hypothesis that intentional movements are produced by shifting the frame of reference is extended to multi-muscle and multi-degrees of freedom systems by providing a solution for the redundancy problem the allows the control of a joint alone or in combination with other joints to produce any desired limb configuration and movement trajectory. For each motor behavior, the nervous system uses a strategy which minimizes the number of changeable control variables and keep sthe parameters of these changes invariant. This is illustrated by examples of simulated kinematic and electromyographic signals from single- and multi-joint arm movements produced by patterns of control variables. Empirical support is provided and additional tests are suggested. The model is contrasted with others based on the ideas of programming of motoneuronal activity, muscle forces, stiffness or movement kinematics. -------------------------------------------------------------- To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable by anonymous ftp from princeton.edu according to the instructions below (the filename is bbs.feldman).

BIOMECHANICS & NEURAL CONTROL OF MOVEMENT IX Neural-Mechanical Control: Interaction Between Neural Circuits and Biomechanics June 17-22, 1995 Deer Creek Resort and Conference Center Mt. Sterling, Ohio (22 miles south of Columbus) The Engineering Foundation announces its 9th conference on "Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement." The intent of this conference series, which began in 1967, is to increase the level of interaction between engineering and life sciences so that each may benefit from the approaches and findings of the other fields. The life sciences have benefitted from the quantitative and analytical approach to movement control problems characteristic of engineering. Likewise, the engineering sciences have benefitted from the knowledge of how nature has solved similar motor control problems. In addition to the integrated nature of the formal presentations, the structure of these conferences fosters close informal interaction by providing time for ad hoc sessions and discussions in a relaxed setting.
