Desynchronizing two oscillators while stimulating and observing only one.

Mau ET, Rosenblum M.

In this paper, we focus on desynchronizing two self-sustained oscillators by short pulses delivered to the system in a phase-specific manner. We analyze a non-trivial case when we cannot access both oscillators but stimulate only one.

A First Methodological Development and Validation of ReTap: An Open-Source UPDRS Finger Tapping Assessment Tool Based on Accelerometer-Data

Habets JGV, Spooner RK, Mathiopoulou V, Feldmann LK, Busch JL, Roediger J, Bahners BH, Schnitzler A, Florin E, Kühn AA

We assessed finger tapping in 37 people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) during routine treatment follow ups and analyzed their 350 sessions of 10-s tapping using index finger accelerometry. Herein, we developed and validated ReTap, an open-source tool for the automated prediction of finger tapping scores.

Learning how network structure shapes decision-making for bio-inspired computing.

Schirner M, Deco G, Ritter P.

To better understand how network structure shapes intelligent behavior, we developed a learning algorithm that we used to build personalized brain network models for 650 Human Connectome Project participants.
