The full-body illusion changes visual depth perception

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Knowing where objects are relative to us implies knowing where we are relative to the external world. Here, we investigated whether space perception can be influenced by an experimentally induced change in perceived self-location. To dissociate real and ap ...

Hierarchical processing underpins competition in tactile perceptual bistability

Andrea Ferrario

Ambiguous sensory information can lead to spontaneous alternations between perceptual states, recently shown to extend to tactile perception. The authors recently proposed a simplified form of tactile rivalry which evokes two competing percepts for a fixed ...

Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Taxels (HAXELs) for Full Body Haptics

Herbert Shea, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The ability to mechanically stimulate touch receptors over the entire body is a key feature for fully immersive and highly realistic virtual reality experience. Haptic stickers, flexible arrays of HAXELs (hydraulically amplified TAXels), that enable cutane ...

The role of pre-stimulus alpha rhythms in non-retinotopic feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

What is the link between spontaneous neuronal oscillations (i.e., non-evoked activity) and perception? Often, the phase or power of alpha activity is proposed to modulate perception. The majority of work has focused on the unecological presentation of sing ...

Modeling extended-reaction boundary conditions in time-domain wave-based simulations of room acoustics

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

This paper presents a general method for modeling extended-reaction surface impedance boundary conditions in time-domain wave-based room acoustic simulations. A sound field separation technique is used to separate the sound field at a boundary into its inc ...

Creating a neuroprosthesis for active tactile exploration of textures

Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can produce percepts that mimic somatic sensation and, thus, has potential as an approach to sensorize prosthetic limbs. However, it is not known whether ICMS could recreate act ...

A Personalized Approach to Improve Walking Detection in Real-Life Settings: Application to Children with Cerebral Palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Although many methods have been developed to detect walking by using body-worn inertial sensors, their performances decline when gait patterns become abnormal, as seen in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to evaluate if fine-tuni ...

Haptic feedback perception and learning with cable-driven guidance in exosuit teleoperation of a simulated drone

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Vivek Ramachandran, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to use. ...

Computational Aesthetics and Image Enhancements using Deep Neural Networks

Bin Jin

Imaging devices have become ubiquitous in modern life, and many of us capture an increasing number of images every day. When we choose to share or store some of these images, our primary selection criterion is to choose the most visually pleasing ones. Yet ...

Wearable multimodal tactile interfaces for augmenting haptic perception

Simon Gallo

Haptic feedback has been used to faithfully restitute the haptic sense lacking during telemanipulation, but also for providing auxiliary information via the haptic channel to restore functional perception of missing or damaged senses, e.g. sensory substitu ...
