  • Neural mechanisms of fear responses to emotional stimuli: a preliminary study combining early posterior negativity and electroencephalogram source network analysis

    Fear emotion is a typical negative emotion that is commonly present in daily life and significantly influences human behavior. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying negative emotions contributes to the improvement of diagnosing and treating disorders related to negative emotions. However, the neural mechanisms of the brain when faced with fearful emotional stimuli remain unclear. To this end, this study further combined electroencephalogram (EEG) source analysis and cortical brain network construction based on early posterior negativity (EPN) analysis to explore the differences in brain information processing mechanisms under fearful and neutral emotional picture stimuli from a spatiotemporal perspective. The results revealed that neutral emotional stimuli could elicit higher EPN amplitudes compared to fearful stimuli. Further source analysis of EEG data containing EPN components revealed significant differences in brain cortical activation areas between fearful and neutral emotional stimuli. Subsequently, more functional connections were observed in the brain network in the alpha frequency band for fearful emotions compared to neutral emotions. By quantifying brain network properties, we found that the average node degree and average clustering coefficient under fearful emotional stimuli were significantly larger compared to neutral emotions. These results indicate that combining EPN analysis with EEG source component and brain network analysis helps to explore brain functional modulation in the processing of fearful emotions with higher spatiotemporal resolution, providing a new perspective on the neural mechanisms of negative emotions.

  • Follow control of upper limb rehabilitation training based on Kinect and NAO robot

    Gesture imitation is a common rehabilitation strategy in limb rehabilitation training. In traditional rehabilitation training, patients need to complete training actions under the guidance of rehabilitation physicians. However, due to the limited resources of the hospital, it cannot meet the training and guidance needs of all patients. In this paper, we proposed a following control method based on Kinect and NAO robot for the gesture imitation task in rehabilitation training. The method realized the joint angles mapping from Kinect coordination to NAO robot coordination through inverse kinematics algorithm. Aiming at the deflection angle estimation problem of the elbow joint, a virtual space plane was constructed and realized the accurate estimation of deflection angle. Finally, a comparative experiment for deflection angle of the elbow joint angle was conducted. The experimental results showed that the root mean square error of the angle estimation value of this method in right elbow transverse deflection and vertical deflection directions was 2.734° and 2.159°, respectively. It demonstrates that the method can follow the human movement in real time and stably using the NAO robot to show the rehabilitation training program for patients.
