The staircase test of skilled reaching in mice.
The "staircase" test has become established for measurement of side-specific deficits in coordinated paw reaching in rats, and has been shown to reveal impairments on the contralateral side following unilateral lesions in a wide range of motor structures of the brain. As mice become more widely used in behavioural neuroscience, we have scaled down the staircase reaching test for application to ...
متن کاملA modular planar robotic manipulandum with end-point torque control.
Robotic manipulanda are extensively used in investigation of the motor control of human arm movements. They permit the application of translational forces to the arm based on its state and can be used to probe issues ranging from mechanisms of neural control to biomechanics. However, most current designs are optimized for studying either motor learning or stiffness. Even fewer include end-point...
متن کاملA robotic head using projected animated faces
This paper presents a setup which employs virtual animated agents for robotic heads. The system uses a laser projector to project animated faces onto a three dimensional face mask. This approach of projecting animated faces onto a three dimensional head surface as an alternative to using flat, two dimensional surfaces, eliminates several deteriorating effects and illusions that come with flat s...
متن کاملAutomated gesture tracking in head-fixed mice
BACKGROUND The preparation consisting of a head-fixed mouse on a spherical or cylindrical treadmill offers unique advantages in a variety of experimental contexts. Head fixation provides the mechanical stability necessary for optical and electrophysiological recordings and stimulation. Additionally, it can be combined with virtual environments such as T-mazes, enabling these types of recording ...
متن کاملUsing Stochastic Grammars to Learn Robotic Tasks
The paper introduces a reinforcement learning-based methodology for performance improvement of Intelligent Controllers. The translation interfaces of a 3-level Hierarchical Goal-Directed Intelligent Machine (HGDIM) are modeled by a 2-stage Hierarchical Learning Stochas-tic Automaton (HLSA). The decision probabilities at the two stages are recursively updated from the success and failure signals...
