In vivo neurochemistry of the ventral striatum and social competition in Homo sapiens

Ventral striatal function and trait anxiety have been shown to influence reward-seeking behaviour and social competition in humans. Moreover, social status perceptions have been shown to modulate ventral striatal function. The neurochemical underpinnings o ...

Learning Control Over Emotion Networks Through Connectivity-Based Neurofeedback

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Frank Scharnowski, Yury Koush, Gwladys Rey

Most mental functions are associated with dynamic interactions within functional brain networks. Thus, training individuals to alter functional brain networks might provide novel and powerful means to improve cognitive performance and emotions. Using a nov ...

Motor imagery in spinal cord injured people is modulated by somatotopic coding, perspective taking, and post-lesional chronic pain

Polona Pozeg, Michele Scandola

Motor imagery (MI) allows one to mentally represent an action without necessarily performing it. Importantly, however, MI is profoundly influenced by the ability to actually execute actions, as demonstrated by the impairment of this ability as a consequenc ...

A human-centric approach to assess daylight in buildings for non-visual health potential, visual interest and gaze behavior

Marilyne Andersen, Mandana Sarey Khanie, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

This paper introduces a novel approach for the assessment of daylight performance in buildings, venturing beyond existing methods that evaluate 2-dimensional illumination and comfort within a fixed field-of-view in order to predict human responses to light ...

In a demanding task, three-handed manipulation is preferred to two-handed manipulation

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Etienne Burdet, Elahe Abdi

Equipped with a third hand under their direct control, surgeons may be able to perform certain surgical interventions alone; this would reduce the need for a human assistant and related coordination difficulties. However, does human performance improve wit ...
