The neural correlates of topographical disorientation-a lesion analysis study
Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux
Topographical disorientation refers to the selective inability to orient oneself in familiar surroundings. However, to date its neural correlates remain poorly understood. Here we use quantitative lesion analysis and a lesion network mapping approach in or ...
Hoboken2024SVGC-AVA: 360-Degree Video Saliency Prediction With Spherical Vector-Based Graph Convolution and Audio-Visual Attention
Pascal Frossard, Chenglin Li, Li Wei, Qin Yang, Yuelei Li
Viewers of 360-degree videos are provided with both visual modality to characterize their surrounding views and audio modality to indicate the sound direction. Though both modalities are important for saliency prediction, little work has been done by joint ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2024Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex
Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu
Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...
2024Ethological computational psychiatry: Challenges and opportunities
Studying the intricacies of individual subjects' moods and cognitive processing over extended periods of time presents a formidable challenge in medicine. While much of systems neuroscience appropriately focuses on the link between neural circuit functions ...
Current Biology Ltd2024Parental status and markers of brain and cellular age: A 3D convolutional network and classification study
Recent research shows prominent effects of pregnancy and the parenthood transition on structural brain characteristics in humans. Here, we present a comprehensive study of how parental status and number of children born/fathered links to markers of brain a ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2024Hearing structure in music: An empirical inquiry into listening as representation and processing
As a universal expression of human creativity, music is capable of conveying great subtlety and complexity. Crucially, this complexity is not encoded in the score or in the sounds, but is rather construed in the mind of the listener in the form of nuanced ...
EPFL2024Robotically-induced auditory-verbal hallucinations: combining self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors
Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Melissa Faggella, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic
Background. Inducing hallucinations under controlled experimental conditions in nonhallucinating individuals represents a novel research avenue oriented toward understanding complex hallucinatory phenomena, avoiding confounds observed in patients. Audito ...
2024Non-invasive neuromodulation of the right temporoparietal junction using theta-burst stimulation in functional neurological disorder
Background Disrupted sense of agency (SoA)-the sense of being the agent of one's own actions-has been demonstrated in patients with functional neurological disorder (FND), and a key area of the corresponding neuronal network is the right temporoparietal ju ...
London2024Modulation of Visually Induced Self-motion Illusions by α Transcranial Electric Stimulation over the Superior Parietal Cortex
The growing popularity of virtual reality systems has led to a renewed interest in understanding the neurophysiological correlates of the illusion of self-motion (vection), a phenomenon that can be both intentionally induced or avoided in such systems, dep ...
Cambridge2024Butterfly effects in perceptual development: A review of the 'adaptive initial degradation' hypothesis
Lukas Vogelsang, Marin Vogelsang
Human perceptual development evolves in a stereotyped fashion, with initially limited perceptual capabilities maturing over the months or years following the commencement of sensory experience into robust proficiencies. This review focuses on the functiona ...
