Bidirectional interactions facilitate the integration of a robot into a shoal of zebrafish Danio rerio

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Vaios Papaspyros, Bertrand Eric Collignon

Many studies on collective animal behavior seek to identify the individual rules that underlie collective patterns. However, it was not until the recent advancements of micro-electronic and embedded systems that scientists were able to create mixed groups ...

Protofigurations, geometries of transindividuation

Julien Lafontaine Carboni

In recent years prefigurative phases of architectural or urban projects have been rising. However, in the context of prefiguration a precise definition of what could be characterized as a design methodology, a temporal space or also as a political practice ...

Capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of self-generated, task-initiated thoughts with EEG and fMRI

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lucie Bréchet

The temporal structure of self-generated cognition is a key attribute to the formation of a meaningful stream of consciousness. When at rest, our mind wanders from thought to thought in distinct mental states. Despite the marked importance of ongoing menta ...

Object identity determines transsaccadic integration

Michael Herzog

Very little information is transferred across saccades. It is commonly thought that detailed vision starts mainly anew with each saccade. Here, we show that transsaccadic integration occurs even for very fine grained and unconscious information when object ...

Quasi-Continuous Unconscious Processing precedes Discrete Conscious Perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Consciousness seems to be a smooth, continuous stream of percepts. We are aware of the world at each single moment of time. However, intriguing illusions suggest that the world is not continuously translated into conscious perception. Instead, consciousnes ...

The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...

Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in TbMnO3

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO 3 following photoexcitation ...

Measuring Functional Integration by Identifying the Trip Chains and the Profiles of Cross-Border Workers: Empirical Evidences from Luxembourg

Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Philippe Gerber

The number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In the collective imagination these cross-border workers come to the Grand Duchy just to work. This paper challenges this representation by measuring the functi ...

Interplay between Narrative and Bodily Self in Access to Consciousness: No Difference between Self- and Non-self Attributes

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel

The construct of the self is conceived as being fundamental in promoting survival. As such, extensive studies have documented preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli. For example, attributes that relate to the self are better encoded and retrieved ...

Low-level awareness accompanies “unconscious” high-level processing during continuous flash suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre

The scope and limits of unconscious processing are a matter of ongoing debate. Lately, continuous flash suppression (CFS), a technique for suppressing visual stimuli, has been widely used to demonstrate surprisingly high-level processing of invisible stimu ...
