Crossmodal Congruency Enhances Performance of Healthy Older Adults in Visual-Tactile Pattern Matching

One of the pivotal challenges of aging is to maintain independence in the activities of daily life. In order to adapt to changes in the environment, it is crucial to continuously process and accurately combine simultaneous input from different sensory syst ...

Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Kim Do, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Manuel Mercier, Pierre Progin, Wenwen Chang

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

Direct activation of zebrafish neurons by ultrasonic stimulation revealed by whole CNS calcium imaging

Silvestro Micera

Objective. Ultrasounds (US) use in neural engineering is so far mainly limited to ablation through high intensity focused ultrasound, but interesting preliminary results show that low intensity low frequency ultrasound could be used instead to modulate neu ...

Sensitivity to temporal parameters of intraneural tactile sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Background Recent studies have shown that neural stimulation can be used to provide artificial sensory feedback to amputees eliciting sensations referred on the amputated hand. The temporal properties of the neural stimulation modulate aspects of evoked se ...

Receptor-induced transient responses in cells with oscillatory actin dynamics

Jose Negrete Jr

Living cells adjust their sensing and migratory machinery in response to changes in their environment. In this work, we show that cells of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum modulate the dynamical state of their actin cytoskeleton in response to an ...

Enhanced audio-tactile multisensory interaction in a peripersonal task after echolocation

Andrea Serino

Peripersonal space (PPS) is created by a multisensory interaction between different sensory modalities and can be modified by experience. In this article, we investigated whether an auditory training, inside the peripersonal space area, can modify the PPS ...

Increased Neural Strength and Reliability to Audiovisual Stimuli at the Boundary of Peripersonal Space

Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel

The actionable space surrounding the body, referred to as peripersonal space (PPS), has been the subject of significant interest of late within the broader framework of embodied cognition. Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown the represen ...

Alpha/beta power decreases track the fidelity of stimulus-specific information

João Pedro Forjaco Jorge

Massed synchronised neuronal firing is detrimental to information processing. When networks of task-irrelevant neurons fire in unison, they mask the signal generated by task-critical neurons. On a macroscopic level, such synchronisation can contribute to a ...

Computational modeling of the olfactory receptor Olfr73 suggests a molecular basis for low potency of olfactory receptor-activating compounds

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Thamani Dahoun, Shuguang Yuan, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

The mammalian olfactory system uses hundreds of specialized G-protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) to discriminate a nearly unlimited number of odorants. Cognate agonists of most ORs have not yet been identified and potential non-olfactory processes m ...
