Reflections on the use of natural light in buildings
The use of natural light in buildings can affect our physiological and psychological health and has comfort, behavioral, economic, and environmental consequences. ...
2022Emotion Recognition in a Multi-Componential Framework: The Role of Physiology
Emotions are rich and complex experiences involving various behavioral and physiological responses. While many empirical studies have focused on discrete and dimensional representations of emotions, these representations do not fully reconcile with recent ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Inter-Individual Variability of Human Thermoregulation: Towards Personalized Ergonomics of the Indoor Thermal Environment
Indoor temperature maintenance represents a large portion of the energy used in buildings and reducing dependence on energy-intensive thermal conditioning systems would benefit our fight against climate change as well as potentially have positive effects o ...
2022Exploring dynamic functional connectivity by incorporating prior knowledge of brain structure
The synchronized firing of distant neuronal populations gives rise to a wide array of functional brain networks that underlie human brain function. Given the enormous perception, learning, and cognition potential of the human brain, it is not surprising th ...
EPFL2020Perceived and yet not seen: non-visual effects in daylit spaces
Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán
Findings from neuroscience are increasingly interwoven with architectural research (1,2). Understanding physiological responses to environmental stimuli in the built environment is critical when evaluating occupant health and wellbeing. Research in the fie ...
2018Impact of individual differences in glucocorticoid adaptation to stress on behavior, neurophysiology and metabolism
The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...
EPFL2018Transient Modulations of Neural Responses to Heartbeats Covary with Bodily Self-Consciousness
Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Roy Salomon, Hyeongdong Park, Christian Pfeiffer, Javier Bello Ruiz
Recent research has investigated self-consciousness associated with the multisensory processing of bodily signals (e.g., somatosensory, visual, vestibular signals), a notion referred to as bodily self-consciousness, and these studies have shown that the ma ...
Soc Neuroscience2016Lithium rescues synaptic plasticity and memory in Down syndrome mice
Down syndrome (DS) patients exhibit abnormalities of hippocampal-dependent explicit memory, a feature that is replicated in relevant mouse models of the disease. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which is impaired in DS and other neuropsychiatric diseases, p ...
American Society for Clinical Investigation2013"Seeing" and "feeling" architecture: how bodily self-consciousness alters architectonic experience and affects the perception of interiors
Olaf Blanke, Isabella Maria Pasqualini, Joan Llobera Mahy
Over the centuries architectural theory evolved several notions of embodiment, proposing in the nineteenth and twentieth century that architectonic experience is related to physiological responses of the observer. Recent advances in the cognitive neuroscie ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2013Integrating non-visual effects of light into lighting simulation: challenges ahead
Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Steven W. Lockley
Lighting is a major influential factor that affects human health and sense of wellbeing in the built environment. Since 2002, when the first reports on the discovery of a novel type of photoreceptor were published, a new field of study started to emerge at ...
