Dimensionality reduction from the muscle modules: (A) Number of modules required to explain more than 90% of the variance in the entire muscle activation patterns and 75% of the variance in each muscle activation pattern.
<p>Fewer modules were required to reconstruct the muscle activation patterns of more impaired subjects (lower CMSH). (B–D) Number of modules that explained 90% of the variance in the data for the three subject groups. For most severely impaired subjects (b: 6 out of 8), the first module explains more than 60% of the VAF, whereas the first module explains less than 35% of VAF for most moderately impaired subjects (C: 5 out of 6), and less than 30% of VAF for most subjects with no impairment (D: 3 out of 4).</p

Scalar-product similarity coefficient (<i>R</i>) between muscle modules: between stroke survivors.
*<p>Group S2: stroke survivors with two muscle modules (<i>n</i> = 2), group S3: stroke survivors with three muscle modules (<i>n</i> = 5), group S4: stroke survivors with four muscle modules (<i>n</i> = 7).</p
Muscle activation pattern of (A,B) severely impaired subjects: (A) Subject 3 (CMSH 3), (B) Subject 6 (CMSH 2); (C) moderately impaired subject: Subject 13 (CMSH 5); and (D) Unimpaired subject: Subject 16 (CMSH 7) across six tasks.
<p>Activation patterns of severely impaired subjects were very similar across different tasks (except overall magnitude) (A,B); qualitative examination of the data shows the inter-task variability, or complexity in muscle activation patterns across tasks, was greater in subjects with less impairment (i.e., higher CMSH).</p

Nanoscale Structural Switching of Plasmonic Nanograin Layers on Hydrogel Colloidal Monolayers for Highly Sensitive and Dynamic SERS in Water with Areal Signal Reproducibility
Developing
substrates that enable both reproducible and highly
sensitive Raman detection of trace amounts of molecules in aqueous
systems remains a challenge, although these substrates are crucial
in biomedicine and environmental sciences. To address this issue,
we report spatially uniform plasmonic nanowrinkles formed by intimate
contact between plasmonic nanograins on the surface of colloidal crystal
monolayers. The Au or Ag nanograin layers coated on hydrogel colloidal
crystal monolayers can reversibly wrinkle and unwrinkle according
to changes in the water temperature. The reversible switches are directed
by surface structural changes in the colloidal crystal monolayers,
while the colloids repeat the hydration–dehydration process.
The Au and Ag nanowrinkles are obtained upon hydration, thus enabling
the highly reproducible detection of Raman probes in water at the
nano- and picomolar levels, respectively, throughout the entire substrate
area. Additionally, the reversible switching of the nanostructures
in the plasmonic nanograin layers causes reversible dynamic changes
in the corresponding Raman signals upon varying the water temperature
