  2. 21. Striatal pathways in dyskinesia and dystonia

    Author : Laura Andreoli; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Striatum; Dystonia; L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia; DREADD; Mouse model; Dopamine; dopamine receptor;

    Abstract : Purposeful and well-coordinated movements depend on the control exerted by dopamine (DA) on the basal ganglia (BG) network. Accordingly, dysfunctions or lesions of the dopaminergic system in the BG can result in an overall poverty and slowness of movement, cardinal features of Parkinson´s disease (PD), or in dyskinesias, exaggerated and involuntary movements resulting from L-DOPA pharmacotherapy.

  4. 22. Neural correlates of skilled movement : functional mapping of the human brain with fMRI and PET

    Author : H Henrik Ehrsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Brain; manual dexterity inter-limb coordination; kinesthesia; motor imagery;

    Abstract : Humans have unique abilities to perform certain types of skilled voluntary movements. In this thesis we examine the neural substrates of. (i) fine digit actions, in particular the control of fingertip forces during manipulation, and (ii) the coordination of voluntary movements of different limbs. READ MORE

  5. 23. Set-up based operator training method in automated manufacturing: A joint production engineering and competence theory approach

    Author : Peter Nordell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Production engineering; manufacturing competence; learning;

    Abstract : Productivity improvement strategies such as increased automation, implementation of work cells and introduction of flexible work organisations have changed the content of operator work and the preconditions for training manufacturing competence. Traditional industrial training approaches have become increasingly obsolete. READ MORE

  6. 24. Multi-Agent Planning and Coordination Under Resource Constraints

    Author : Federico Pecora; Italy Rome “La Sapienza” University of Rome; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Planning; scheduling; multi-agent systems; resource constraints; distributed constraint reasoning; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : The research described in this thesis stems from ROBOCARE1, a three year research project aimed at developing software and robotic technology for providing intelligent support for elderly people. This thesis deals with two problems which have emerged in the course of the project’s development:Multi-agent coordination with scarce resources. READ MORE

  7. 25. Simulation of communicative behavior

    Author : Jonas Wikman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk psykologi; Engineering Psychology;

    Abstract : Developing tasks and organizations involves risk, and investments in planning, equipment, and training evoke expectations that may not be fulfilled. Therefore, it would be desirable to use an experimenting approach, and successively try and test new courses of action under realistic conditions. READ MORE
