BACKGROUND: The spatial unity between self and body can be disrupted by employing conflicting visual-somatosensory bodily input, thereby bringing neurological observations on bodily self-consciousness under scientific scrutiny. Here we designed a novel par ...
The quartz tuning fork based probe {e.g., Akiyama et al. [Appl. Surf. Sci. 210, 18 (2003)]}, termed "A-Probe," is a self-sensing and self-actuating (exciting) probe for dynamic mode atomic force microscope (AFM) operation. It is an oscillatory force sensor ...
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 ...
Conscious and unconscious processing are two of the most hot topics in neuroscience. In unconscious processing research, usually a direct measure is used to show that a target is not consciously perceived. An indirect measure is used to show that still the ...
Body ownership and embodiment are two fundamental mechanisms of self-consciousness. The present article reviews neurological data about paroxysmal illusions during which body ownership and embodiment are affected differentially: autoscopic phenomena (out-o ...
We present a unique probe that is based on a quartz tuning fork and a microfabricated cantilever. The probe is self-actuating and self-sensing. The cantilever can be tailored to the needs of specific applications, in this case to feature an electrically co ...
Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are rare illusory visual experiences during which the subject has the impression of seeing a second own body in extrapersonal space. AP consist of out-of-body experience (OBE), autoscopic hallucination (AH), and heautoscopy (HAS). ...
This user manual's purpose is to help the user to get familiar with the miniature suscep- tometer (MSM) and to allow them to make use of it in the most conscious manner. It also contains instructions and advice on the last tasks to be done before putting t ...
Human bodily experience is characterized by the immediate feeling that our body is localized at a certain position in space and that the self is localized within these body borders (embodiment). Recent research from cognitive neuroscience and neurology sug ...
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are defined as experiences in which a person seems to be awake and sees his body and the world from a location outside his physical body. More precisely, they can be defined by the presence of the following three phenomenolog ...
