To understand subjective evaluation of an option, various disciplines have quantified the
interaction between reward and effort during decision making, producing an estimate of …

Exoskeletons can enhance human mobility, but we still know little about why they are
effective. For example, we do not know the relative importance of training, how much is …

During deliberation, as we quietly consider our options, the neural activities representing the
decision variables that reflect the goodness of each option rise in various regions of the …

Humans make a number of choices when they walk, such as how fast and for how long. The
preferred steady walking speed seems chosen to minimize energy expenditure per distance …

Humans have evolved the ability to walk very efficiently. Further, humans prefer to walk at
speeds that approximately minimize their metabolic energy expenditure per unit distance (ie …

Navigating our physical environment requires changing directions and turning. Despite its
ecological importance, we do not have a unified theoretical account of non-straight-line …

A “walking” gait has been identified in a range of vertebrate species with different body
plans, habitats, and life histories. With increased application of this broad umbrella term, it …

We seek to use dimensionality reduction to simplify the difficult task of controlling a lower
limb prosthesis. Though many techniques for dimensionality reduction have been described …

On any given day, we make countless reaching movements to objects around us. While
such ubiquity may suggest uniformity, each movement's speed is unique—why is this …

Exoskeleton assistance can reduce metabolic cost and increase preferred walking speed in
unimpaired and impaired groups, but individual outcomes are highly variable. Assistance …
