Humans perceive the surrounding world by integration of information through different sensory modalities. Earlier models of multisensory integration rely mainly on traditional Bayesian and causal Bayesian inferences for single causal (source) and two causal (for two senses such as visual and auditory systems), respectively. In this paper a new recurrent neural model is presented for integration of visual and proprioceptive information. This model is based on population coding which is able to mimic multisensory integration of neural centers in the human brain. The simulation results agree with those achieved by casual Bayesian inference. The model can also simulate the sensory training process of visual and proprioceptive information in human. Training process in multisensory integration is a point with less attention in the literature before. The effect of proprioceptive training on multisensory perception was investigated through a set of experiments in our previous study. The current study, evaluates the effect of both modalities, i.e., visual and proprioceptive training and compares them with each other through a set of new experiments. In these experiments, the subject was asked to move his/her hand in a circle and estimate its position. The experiments were performed on eight subjects with proprioception training and eight subjects with visual training. Results of the experiments show three important points: (1) visual learning rate is significantly more than that of proprioception; (2) means of visual and proprioceptive errors are decreased by training but statistical analysis shows that this decrement is significant for proprioceptive error and non-significant for visual error, and (3) visual errors in training phase even in the beginning of it, is much less than errors of the main test stage because in the main test, the subject has to focus on two senses. The results of the experiments in this paper is in agreement with the results of the neural model simulation.

Neural signatures of interface errors in remote agent manipulation.

Authors:
Boris Yazmir Miriam Reiner

Neuroscience 2021 Feb 24. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

Virtual Reality and Neuro-Cognition Laboratory, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel.

The manipulation of remote agents such as robotic arms in remote surgery or in BCI-wheelchair control are prone to errors. Some of these are related to user intent misclassification or other interface system errors, which lead to an incorrect movement. Here we focused on errors originating from unpredicted interface movements violating user intent and producing sensory conflicts. Read More

Comparison of the reliance of the postural control system on the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive inputs in chronic low back pain patients and asymptomatic participants.

Authors:
Maryam Mohammadi Leila Ghamkhar Alireza Alizadeh Moslem Shaabani Mahyar Salavati Amir H Kahlaee

Gait Posture 2021 Feb 15;85:266-272. Epub 2021 Feb 15.

Physiotherapy Department, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Electronic address:

Background: Although proprioception deficits have been documented in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients, little is known about adaptive strategies to provide postural control in these patients. Substitution of unreliable proprioceptive information with other afferents might be considered plausible.

Research Question: Is the response of the postural control system dependent on the source of sensory afferents being manipulated in persons with and without CLBP?

Methods: Sixty persons with and without CLBP participated in this cross-sectional study. Read More

The influence of yaw rotation on spatial navigation during development.

Neuropsychologia 2021 Feb 16;154:107774. Epub 2021 Feb 16.

Unit for Visually Impaired People, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genoa, Italy.

Sensory cues enable navigation through space, as they inform us about movement properties, such as the amount of travelled distance and the heading direction. In this study, we focused on the ability to spatially update one's position when only proprioceptive and vestibular information is available. We aimed to investigate the effect of yaw rotation on path integration across development in the absence of visual feedback. Read More

Shoulder Joint Position Sense Can Be Reduced by Sensory Reference Frame Transformations.

Percept Mot Skills 2021 Feb 16:31512521993040. Epub 2021 Feb 16.

Department of Human Physiology, University of Oregon , Eugene, United States.

Joint position sense (JPS) is commonly evaluated using an angle replication protocol with vision occluded. However, multiple sources of sensory information are integrated when moving limbs accurately, not just proprioception. The purpose of this study was to examine different availability of vision during an active JPS protocol at the shoulder. Read More
