Reconciling Being in-Control vs. Being Helped for the Execution of Complex Movements in VR

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin

Performing motor tasks in virtual environments is best achieved with motion capture and animation of a 3D character that participants control in real time and perceive as being their avatar in the virtual environment. A strong Sense of Embodiment (SoE) for ...

Building perception block by block: a response to Fekete et al.

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Is consciousness a continuous stream, or do percepts occur only at certain moments of time? This age-old question is still under debate. Both positions face difficult problems, which we proposed to overcome with a 2-stage model, where unconscious processin ...

“Think of a city and what comes to mind?” asks Jane Jacobs (1961: 29). “Its streets. If a city’s streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.” In our opinion, Jacobs should have answered: its commercial stre ...

The inclusion of dispersion (van der Waals, vdW) forces in first-principles modeling of disordered chalcogenides is analyzed and critically discussed in view of their impact on the atomic structure. To this purpose we considered the case of glassy GeTe4. W ...

With the advance of social platforms, people are sharing contents in an unprecedented scale. This makes social platforms an ideal place for spreading rumors. As rumors may have negative impacts on the real world, many rumor detection techniques have been p ...

Expressing Motivations By Facilitating Other’s Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Alexis David Jacq, Ana Paiva

It is often necessary to understand each other’s motivations in order to cooperate. Reaching such a mutual understanding requires two abilities: to build models of other’s motivations in order to understand them, and to build a model of “my” motivations pe ...

How grouping determines crowding

Michael Herzog

Crowding is traditionally thought to occur by local interactions between the target and the neighboring flankers, for example, by pooling neural responses corresponding to both the target and flankers. Accordingly, crowding is thought to occur within a sma ...

About individual differences in vision

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different paradigms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seemingly very similar tasks, such as visual and bisection acuity, ...

Time Slices: What Is the Duration of a Percept?

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski

We experience the world as a seamless stream of percepts. However, intriguing illusions and recent experiments suggest that the world is not continuously translated into conscious perception. Instead, perception seems to operate in a discrete manner, just ...

Ancilla-free synthesis of large reversible functions using binary decision diagrams

Mathias Soeken

The synthesis of reversible functions has been an intensively studied research area in the last decade. Since almost all proposed approaches rely on representations of exponential size (such as truth tables and permutations), they cannot be applied efficie ...
