During the last decade, the scientific community has witnessed an unprecedented deployment of large-scale, federated e-Infrastructures such as Grid Computing, primarily for supporting data-intensive scientific exploration and coordinated problem solving. H ...
Europe is perceived to be lagging behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data on European and US technology transfer offices (TTOs), we find that differences in academic research, TTO staff and experience ...
First we present Unison, a conceptual music recommender system for groups of people; the system aims at generating a playlist that takes musical tastes of all the group members into account. We discuss both theoretical and practical concerns related to suc ...
The conscious representation we build from the visual environment appears jumbled in the periphery, reflecting a phenomenon known as crowding. Yet, it remains possible that object-level representations (i.e., resulting from the binding of the stimulus' dif ...

In this paper we propose a framework that characterizes user interaction with webGIS. Furthermore we present a technique to remotely test and evaluate such systems. Our framework does not only include parameters describing the usability of a system, but re ...
Pain and the conscious mind (or the self) are experienced in our body. Both are intimately linked to the subjective quality of conscious experience. Here, we used virtual reality technology and visuo-tactile conflicts in healthy subjects to test whether ex ...
In the report, prominent researchers from Scandinavia, the US and Switzerland draw on a variety of perspectives and experiences to discuss the challenges in the field of educational research. The report is based on material from the programme’s conference ...
Sensory adaptation reflects the fact that the responsiveness of a perceptual system changes after the processing of a specific stimulus. Two manifestations of this property have been used in order to infer the mechanisms underlying vision: priming, in whic ...

Recent advances in mobile device technology have freed augmented reality (AR) applications from the constraints of desktops, laptops and head-mounted displays. But they are met with a lack of guidelines on the design and user interactions of mobile device- ...
Partial and full own-body illusions of neurological origin have been claimed crucial to understand the contribution of bodily experience and perception to self-consciousness. Whereas partial body illusions are relatively common and well defined, much less ...
