Peripersonal space as the space of the bodily self

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Christian Pfeiffer

Bodily self-consciousness (BSC) refers to experience of one's self as located within an owned body (self-identification) and as occupying a specific location in space (self-location). BSC can be altered through multisensory stimulation, as in the Full Body ...

Factorization of Mellin amplitudes

We introduce Mellin amplitudes for correlation functions of k scalar operators and one operator with spin in conformal field theories (CFT) in general dimension. We show that Mellin amplitudes for scalar operators have simple poles with residues that facto ...

The DHLAB Trajectory

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, Dario Rodighiero, Loup Cellard

This visualisation represents the research activity of the Digital Humanities Lab through publications and co-authorship. Vertical disposition is ordered by time: each layer is a different year of publications, from the lab’s foundation to nowadays. The la ...

On stability of electroweak vacuum during inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Andrey Shkerin

We study Coleman-De Luccia tunneling of the Standard Model Higgs field during inflation in the case when the electroweak vacuum is metastable. We verify that the tunneling rate is exponentially suppressed. The main contribution to the suppression is the sa ...

Your place or mine: Shared sensory experiences elicit a remapping of peripersonal space

Andrea Serino

Our perceptual systems integrate multisensory information about objects that are close to our bodies, which allow us to respond quickly and appropriately to potential threats, as well as act upon and manipulate useful tools. Intriguingly, the representatio ...

Soft Pneumatic Actuator with Adjustable Stiffness Layers for Multi-DoF Actuation

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

The soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are a solution toward the highly customizable and light actuators with the versatility of actuation modes, and an inherent compliance. Such flexibility allows SPAs to be considered as alternative actuators for wearable r ...

Estimation of Space-Time Varying Parameters Using a Diffusion LMS Algorithm

Ali H. Sayed

We study the problem of distributed adaptive estimation over networks where nodes cooperate to estimate physical parameters that can vary over both space and time domains. We use a set of basis functions to characterize the space-varying nature of the para ...

Space-time modelling of extreme events

Anthony Christopher Davison, Raphaël Huser

Max-stable processes are the natural analogues of the generalized extreme-value distribution when modelling extreme events in space and time. Under suitable conditions, these processes are asymptotically justified models for maxima of independent replicati ...

The impossible here

André Ourednik

The recurring challenge facing anyone who tries to localize realities in order to show their spatial relations on a map is the systematic impermanence of any objectivized space. Thus any space used as a base layer in thematic maps must be thought of as the ...

Combining proprioception and touch to compute spatial information

Elisa Canzoneri

Localising a tactile stimulus in egocentric space involves integrating information from skin receptors with proprioceptive inputs about body posture. We investigated whether body posture automatically influences tactile spatial judgements, even when it is ...
