Manipulable objects facilitate cross-modal integration in peripersonal space

Previous studies have shown that tool use often modifies one's peripersonal space - i.e. the space directly surrounding our body. Given our profound experience with manipulable objects (e.g. a toothbrush, a comb or a teapot) in the present study we hypothe ...

Multisensory mechanisms in temporo-parietal cortex support self-location and first-person perspective

Olaf Blanke, Dominique Chapuis, Roger Gassert, Lukas Heydrich, Silvio Ionta, Bigna Lenggenhager, Michaël Mouthon

Self-consciousness has mostly been approached by philosophical enquiry and not by empirical neuroscientific study, leading to an overabundance of diverging theories and an absence of data-driven theories. Using robotic technology, we achieved specific bodi ...

Cooling of a Micromechanical Oscillator into the Quantum Regime

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser, Emanuel Gavartin, Stefan Alexander Weis

Using optical sideband cooling, a micromechanical oscillator is cooled to a phonon occupancy below 10 phonons, corresponding to a probability of finding it in its quantum ground state more than 10% of the time. ...

Altered chromatin architecture underlies progressive impairment of the heat shock response in mouse models of Huntington disease

Elena Katsyuba, Paolo Paganetti

Huntington disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder for which there are no disease-modifying treatments. Previous studies have proposed that activation of the heat shock response (HSR) via the transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) ...

Joint action modulates motor system involvement during action observation in 3-year-olds

Michiel van Elk

When we are engaged in a joint action, we need to integrate our partner's actions with our own actions. Previous research has shown that in adults the involvement of one's own motor system is enhanced during observation of an action partner as compared to ...
