Sensitivity to Dispersion Forces in First-Principles Modeling of Disordered Chalcogenides

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 ...

Physics driven behavioural clustering of free-falling paper shapes

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Many complex physical systems exhibit a rich variety of discrete behavioural modes. Often, the system complexity limits the applicability of standard modelling tools. Hence, understanding the underlying physics of different behaviours and distinguishing be ...

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 ...

Interferences between breathing, experimental dyspnoea and bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Etienne Allard

Dyspnoea, a subjective experience of breathing discomfort, is a most distressing symptom. It implicates complex cortical networks that partially overlap with those underlying bodily self-consciousness, the experience that the body is one's own within a giv ...

Cognetics: Robotic Interfaces for the Conscious Mind

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini

Cognetics joins the cognitive neuroscience of bodily awareness with robotics to study, control, and enhance perception, cognition, and consciousness. We highlight robot-controlled bodily perception, conscious states, and social interactions and sketch how ...

Neural Mechanisms of Bodily Self-Consciousness and the Experience of Presence in Virtual Reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon

Recent neuroscience research emphasizes the embodied origins of the experience of the self. This chapter shows that further advances in the understanding of the phenomenon of VR-induced presence might be achieved in connection with advances in the understa ...

Mind The Gap

Matthieu Dreyer

The tip leakage vortex (TLV), which develops in the clearance between the blade tip and the casing of axial turbomachines, appears in many industrial applications, such as air transportation, space rockets and hydraulic machines. In the latter, cavitation ...

Physical activity monitoring based on wearable technology combining inertial and barometric pressure sensors

Fabien Massé

Stroke, or cerebral-vascular accident is the leading cause of disabilities in the western world. It primarily affects mobility due to a degradation of principal motor functions such as balance and gait. This reduction of mobility directly impacts the spect ...

Neurological and Robot-Controlled Induction of an Apparition

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Lukas Heydrich, Masayuki Hara, Polona Pozeg

Tales of ghosts, wraiths, and other apparitions have been reported in virtually all cultures. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present and cannot be seen (feeling of a presence, FOP) is a fascinating feat of the human m ...

The longitudinal association between social functioning and theory of mind in first-episode psychosis

Christine Mohr, Daniela Herzig

IntroductionThere is some cross-sectional evidence that theory of mind ability is associated with social functioning in those with psychosis but the direction of this relationship is unknown. This study investigates the longitudinal association between bot ...
