Afro-Peruvian Spanish
The present work not only contributes to shedding light on the linguistic and socio-historical origins of Afro-Peruvian Spanish, it also helps clarify the controversial puzzle concerning the genesis of Spanish creoles in the Americas in a broader sense. In order to provide a more concrete answer to the questions raised by McWhorter’s book on The Missing Spanish Creoles, the current study has …

Advances in Neuroimaging Data Processing
Directed connectivity between brain sources identified from scalp electroencephalography (EEG) can shed light on the brain’s information flows and provide a biomarker of neurological disorders. However, as volume conductance results in scalp activity being a mix of activities originating from multiple sources, the correct interpretation of their connectivity is a formidable challenge despi…

Advances in Neural Signal Processing
While it has been suggested that diagonal rhythmical bilateral movements promote improvement in motor and cognitive functions, no study that we are aware of has actually examined electrophysiological changes during diagonal movements. Therefore, we aimed to study cerebral activity during the performance of diagonal and vertical movements (DM and VM, respectively), through EEG recording focu…

Advances in Musculoskeletal Modeling and their Application to Neurorehabilita…
Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) modeling has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for informing the design of assistive devices or neurorehabilitation interventions. For these applications, an NMS model must be able to represent the relevant unique characteristics of the targeted subject, e.g., a person with a neurological disorder. Motion predictive simulations, by considering the task con…

Advances in Memristor Neural Networks
With the end of Moore’s law in sight, new computing paradigms are needed to fulfill the increasing demands on data and processing potentials. Inspired by the operation of the human brain, from the dimensionality, energy and underlying functionalities, neuromorphic computing systems that are building upon circuit elements to mimic the neurobiological activities are good concepts to meet th…
