Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex
Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu
Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...
2024Additively manufactured stretchable zipping electrostatic actuators
The use of soft and stretchable materials allows the development of adaptive robotic systems and human-machine interfaces that are more natural and comfortable to interact with. One of the application fields that benefits the most from these compliant mate ...
EPFL2024A striatal circuit balances learned fear in the presence and absence of sensory cues
Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Michael Kintscher
During fear learning, defensive behaviors like freezing need to be finely balanced in the presence or absence of threat-predicting cues (conditioned stimulus, CS). Nevertheless, the circuits underlying such balancing are largely unknown. Here, we investiga ...
eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD2023Serial dependence in visual perception: A review
David Pascucci, Ayberk Ozkirli, Gizay Ceylan
How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence what we perceive in the present. In line with this, recent frameworks sugge ...
ASSOC RESEARCH VISION OPHTHALMOLOGY INC2023Temporal windows of unconscious processing cannot easily be disrupted
Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang
Conscious perception is preceded by long periods of unconscious processing. These periods are crucial for analyzing temporal information and for solving the many ill-posed problems of vision. An important question is what starts and ends these windows and ...
Assoc Research Vision Ophthalmology Inc2023Perceptual Learning: Policy Insights From Basic Research to Real-World Applications
Perceptual learning is the process by which experience alters how incoming sensory information is processed by the brain to give rise to behavior-it is critical for how humans educate children, train experts, treat diseases, and promote health and well-bei ...
Thousand Oaks2023Liquid Metal-Based Sensor Skin Enabling Haptic Perception of Softness
Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Furfaro, Emilio Fernández Lavado, Haotian Chen
Haptic perception of softness is a unique feature of the human skin that relies on the concurrent measurements of the lateral deformation and compression of the skin during object manipulation. This is challenging to implement in robotics because of combin ...
2023An insular cortex - lateral amygdala network in fear learning
Animals are capable of evaluating sensory cues for possible threats and adapting their behaviours accordingly. Fear learning is an evolutionarily conserved behaviour crucial for animal survival, during which sensory percepts with a negative reinforcing qua ...
EPFL2022Auditory externalization of a remote microphone signal
Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi
A remote microphone (RM) system can be used in combination with wearable binaural communication devices, such as hearing aids (HAs), to improve speech intelligibility. Typically, a speaker is equipped with a body-worn microphone which enables to pick up th ...
EPFL2022Uncovering the neural encoding of behavior in the adult Drosophila motor system
One of the most important goals in neuroscience research has always been to understand how animals control their behavior. However, the long focus on the role of brain neurons in behavioral control might be missing the full story. In fact, brain-wide fluct ...
