The basilar membrane in the mammalian cochlea vibrates when the cochlea receives a sound stimulus. This mechanical vibration is transduced into hair cell receptor potentials and thereafter encoded by action potentials in the auditory nerve. Knowledge of the mechanical transformation that converts basilar membrane vibration into hair cell stimulation has been limited, until recently, to hypothet...

Commonly, the inverse kinematic function of robotic manipulators is derived analytically from the robot model. However, there are cases in which a model is not a priori available. In this paper, we propose an approach that enables an autonomous robot to estimate the inverse kinematic function on-the-fly directly from self-observation and without a given kinematic model. The robot executes rando...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare scapular kinematics during elevation phase of abduction, flexion, and scapular plane elevation phase between fifteen persons with shoulder impingement syndrome (sis) and thirteen persons without it. methods: values of scapular kinematics include scapular superior and lateral translations, upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior tipp...

Ultrasound imaging is increasingly used with motion and force data to quantify tendon dynamics during human movement. Frequently, tendon dynamics are estimated indirectly from muscle fascicle kinematics (by subtracting muscle from muscle-tendon unit length), but there is mounting evidence that this Indirect approach yields implausible tendon work loops. Since tendons are passive viscoelastic st...
