Soft Embodiment for Engineering Artificial Limbs

Silvestro Micera

We highlight two alternative, yet complementary, solutions for har-nessing available neural resources for improving integration of artificial limbs (ALs) through embodiment. 'Hard' embodiment exploits neural and cognitive body mechanisms by closely mimicki ...

A data-driven method for reconstructing and modelling social interactions in moving animal groups

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Vaios Papaspyros

Group-living organisms that collectively migrate range from cells and bacteria to human crowds, and include swarms of insects, schools of fish, and flocks of birds or ungulates. Unveiling the behavioural and cognitive mechanisms by which these groups coord ...

Being able to replicate real experiments with computational simulations is a unique opportunity to refine and validate models with experimental data and redesign the experiments based on simulations. However, since it is technically demanding to model all ...

The learning of a new language remains to this date a cognitive task that requires considerable diligence and willpower, recent advances and tools notwithstanding. In this paper, we propose Broccoli, a new paradigm aimed at reducing the required effort by ...

In this paper, we will argue that the structure of the spatio-temporal pedagogical set-up and the elaboration of an evolutionary support for operations of cognition and imagination are powerful in transforming learning cultures. We develop this argument in ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Eleni Vasilaki, Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

The Morris Water Maze is commonly used in behavioural neuroscience for the study of spatial learning with rodents. Over the years, various methods of analysing rodent data collected during this task have been proposed. These methods span from classical per ...

CAR-Net: Clairvoyant Attentive Recurrent Network

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

We present an interpretable framework for path prediction that leverages dependencies between agents' behaviors and their spatial navigation environment. We exploit two sources of information: the past motion trajectory of the agent of interest and a wide ...

The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men

Rebecca Francelet

We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...

Not all anxious individuals get lost: trait anxiety and mental rotation ability interact to explain performance in map-based route learning in men

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

Navigation through an environment is a fundamental human activity. Although group differences in navigational ability are documented (e.g., gender), little is known about traits that predict these abilities. Apart from a well-established link between menta ...
