Transient brain activity dynamics discriminate levels of consciousness during anesthesia

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini, Ayberk Ozkirli

The awake mammalian brain is functionally organized in terms of large-scale distributed networks that are constantly interacting. Loss of consciousness might disrupt this temporal organization leaving patients unresponsive. We hypothesize that characterizi ...

Self-Interaction and Polarons in Density Functional Theory

Stefano Falletta

The electron self-interaction is a long-standing problem in density functional theory and is particularly critical in the description of polarons. Polarons are quasiparticles involving charge localization coupled with self-induced lattice distortions. Sinc ...

Polarons free from many-body self-interaction in density functional theory

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

We develop a unified theoretical framework encompassing one-body and many-body forms of self-interaction. We find an analytic expression for both the one-body and the many-body self-interaction energies, and quantitatively connect the two expressions throu ...

Computational methods and modeling of cellular function for the optimization of protein production and the study of cellular disease states

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira

Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Christine Mohr, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Alessandro Tremea

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

Conceptual processing is referenced to the experienced location of the self, not to the location of the physical body

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

We tested whether an experimentally induced change in the experienced location of the self by means of the Full Body Illusion (FBI) would impact high-level cognitive processing. In an implicit association task, participants saw a landscape where words, con ...

High performance computing for partial differential equations

Vincent Keller, Jonas Marcel Lätt, Etienne Ahusborde

When representing realistic physical phenomena by partial differential equations (PDE), it is crucial to approximate the underlying physics correctly, to get precise results, and to efficiently use the computer architecture. Incorrect results can appear in ...

On inconsistent entities. A reply to Colyvan

Francesco Piazza

In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...

Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood

Olaf Blanke

We highlight the latest research on body perception and self-consciousness, but argue that despite these achievements, central aspects have remained unexplored, namely, global aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Researchers investigated central represent ...
