MMTA: Multi Membership Temporal Attention for Fine-Grained Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment

To empower the iterative assessments involved during a person's rehabilitation, automated assessment of a person's abilities during daily activities requires temporally precise segmentation of fine-grained actions in therapy videos. Existing temporal action segmentation (TAS) models struggle to capture sub-second micro-movements while retaining exercise context, blurring rapid phase transitions and limiting reliable downstream assessment of motor recovery. We introduce Multi-Membership Temporal Attention (MMTA), a high-resolution temporal transformer for fine-grained rehabilitation assessment. Unlike standard temporal attention, which assigns each frame a single attention context per layer, MMTA lets each frame attend to multiple locally normalized temporal attention windows within the same layer. We fuse these concurrent temporal views via feature-space overlap resolution, preserving competing local contexts near transitions while enabling longer-range reasoning through layer-wise propagation. This increases boundary sensitivity without additional depth or multi-stage refinement. MMTA supports both video and wearable IMU inputs within a unified single-stage architecture, making it applicable to both clinical and home settings. MMTA consistently improves over the Global Attention transformer, boosting Edit Score by +1.3 (Video) and +1.6 (IMU) on StrokeRehab while further improving 50Salads by +3.3. Ablations confirm that performance gains stem from multi-membership temporal views rather than architectural complexity, offering a practical solution for resource-constrained rehabilitation assessment.

HRTR: A Single-stage Transformer for Fine-grained Sub-second Action Segmentation in Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke rehabilitation often demands precise tracking of patient movements to monitor progress, with complexities of rehabilitation exercises presenting two critical challenges: fine-grained and sub-second (under one-second) action detection. In this work, we propose the High Resolution Temporal Transformer (HRTR), to time-localize and classify high-resolution (fine-grained), sub-second actions in a single-stage transformer, eliminating the need for multi-stage methods and post-processing. Without any refinements, HRTR outperforms state-of-the-art systems on both stroke related and general datasets, achieving Edit Score (ES) of 70.1 on StrokeRehab Video, 69.4 on StrokeRehab IMU, and 88.4 on 50Salads.

Validating non-invasive EEG source imaging using optimal electrode configurations on a representative rat head model

The curtain of technical limitations impeding rat multichannel non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) has risen. Given the importance of this preclinical model, development and validation of EEG source imaging (ESI) is essential. We investigate the validity of well-known human ESI methodologies in rats which individual tissue geometries have been approximated by those extracted from an MRI template, leading also to imprecision in electrode localizations. With the half and fifth sensitivity volumes we determine both the theoretical minimum electrode separation for non-redundant scalp EEG measurements and the electrode sensitivity resolution, which vary over the scalp because of the head geometry. According to our results, electrodes should be at least ~3-3.5 mm apart for an optimal configuration. The sensitivity resolution is generally worse for electrodes at the boundaries of the scalp measured region, though, by analogy with human montages, concentrates the sensitivity enough to localize sources. Cramér-Rao lower bounds of source localization errors indicate it is theoretically possible to achieve ESI accuracy at the level of anatomical structures, such as the stimulus-specific somatosensory areas, using the template. More validation for this approximation is provided through the comparison between the template and the individual lead field matrices, for several rats. Finally, using well-accepted inverse methods, we demonstrate that somatosensory ESI is not only expected but also allows exploring unknown phenomena related to global sensory integration. Inheriting the advantages and pitfalls of human ESI, rat ESI will boost the understanding of brain pathophysiological mechanisms and the evaluation of ESI methodologies, new pharmacological treatments and ESI-based biomarkers.
