Seeing and identifying with a virtual body decreases pain perception

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager, Roland von Känel

Pain and the conscious mind (or the self) are experienced in our body. Both are intimately linked to the subjective quality of conscious experience. Here, we used virtual reality technology and visuo-tactile conflicts in healthy subjects to test whether ex ...

Comparing system visions of farmers and experts

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

The goal of this paper is to identify farmers’ future in terms of the pesticide management of potato growing farmers in Vereda la Hoya (Boyacá, Colombia). To achieve this goal we applied the Future-Structured Mental Model Approach (Future-SMMA) and intervi ...

Mental imagery of self-location during spontaneous and active self-other interactions: an electrical neuroimaging study

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

Substantial data from the cognitive neurosciences point to the importance of bodily processing for the development of a comprehensive theory of the self. A key aspect of the bodily self is self-location, the experience that the self is localized at a speci ...

The Voice of Personality: Mapping Nonverbal Vocal Behavior into Trait Attributions

Gelareh Mohammadi, Alessandro Vinciarelli

This paper reports preliminary experiments on automatic attribution of personality traits based on nonverbal vocal behavioral cues. In particular, the work shows how prosodic features can be used to predict, with an accuracy up to 75% depending on the trai ...

Human Awareness to Interface Errors Improves HCI Performance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Andrea Biasiucci, Daniel Roggen

We explore the use of brain activity in scenarios of Human-Computer Interaction. Specifically, we aim at the detection of EEG correlates of error awareness to dynamically adapt a Human activity recognition system. We design a Human Computer Interaction exp ...

Visual capture and the experience of having two bodies

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

The experience of singularity of the conscious self may break down in heautoscopy. In heautoscopy patients see a double or doppelganger of themselves. Moreover, the self may be experienced as reduplicated—existing at two or even more locations simultaneous ...

Multisensory mechanisms underlying bodily self-consciousness

Bigna Lenggenhager

Recent philosophical and neuroscientific theories converge on the assumption that the basic foundations of self-consciousness lie in those brain systems that represent the body. Neurological cases in which this basic bodily self-consciousness is disturbed ...

Center of Mass Encoding: A self-adaptive representation with adjustable redundancy for real-valued parameters

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

Abstract--- In this paper we describe a new class of representations for real-valued parameters called Center of Mass Encoding (CoME). CoME is based on variable length strings, it is self-adaptive, and it permits the choice of the degree of redundancy of t ...

Self-limitation of AlGaN/GaN quantum well energy by built-in polarization field

Nicolas Grandjean

Wurtzite AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on c-plane sapphire substrates and the QW transition energies were measured by low temperature photoluminescence. Both the well widths and the Al mole fraction in the AlxG ...

Electron effective mass determination in asymmetric modulation-doped field-effect transistor heterostructures using InxGa1−xAs quantum well and InAs–GaAs superlattice channels

Marcel Py

Cyclotron resonance and photoluminescence measurements have been performed on two types of modulation-doped field-effect transistor heterostructures having their bidimensional channel based, respectively, on an InxGa1-xAs quantum well and an InAs-GaAs shor ...
