DOI: 10.1088/1741-2552/acae0b
Abstract: Objective. High-density electromyography (HD-EMG) decomposition algorithms are used to identify individual motor unit (MU) spike trains, which collectively constitute the neural code of movements, to predict motor intent. This approach has advanced from offline to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1113/ep090644
Abstract: What is the central question of this study? Hyperthermia reduces the human capacity to produce muscular force, which is associated with decreased neural drive: does mitigating a reduction in neural drive by altering localised thermal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2017-210983.3
Abstract: Background Exercise induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), a clinical phenomenon in which the larynx closes inappropriately during physical activity, is a prevalent cause of exertional dyspnoea in young individuals and is often misdiagnosed as asthma. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2021-218437
Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterised by recurrent episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. OSA syndrome (OSAS) is used when OSA is associated with symptoms such as excessive daytime… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00453.2021
Abstract: This study aimed to determine whether neural drive is redistributed between muscles during a fatiguing isometric contraction, and if so, whether the initial level of common synaptic input between these muscles constrains this redistribution. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.congress-2020.4995
Abstract: The interactions between inspiratory neural drive (IND) and inspiratory muscle activity during sleep in COPD are poorly understood. We compared diaphragmatic electromyography (EMGdi) and respiratory mechanics during supine wakefulness (W) and sleep (rapid eye movement,… read more here.
