Bio-Hybrid Systems for Ecosystem Level Effects

Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills, Matthieu Jean-Michel Philippe Broisin, Rafael Botner Barmak, Martina Szopek, Jean-Louis Deneubourg

In a time marked by ecological decay and by the perspective of a severe backlash of this ecosystem decay and climate devastation onto human society, bold moves that employ novel technology to counteract this decline are required. We present a novel concept ...

Multisensory Spatial Mechanisms of the Bodily Self and Social Cognition - A Commentary on Vittorio Gallese and Valentina Cuccio

Christian Pfeiffer

This commentary aims to find the right description of the pre-reflective brain mechanisms underlying our phenomenal experience of being a subject bound to a physical body (bodily self) and basic cognitive, perceptual, and subjective aspects related to inte ...

Multisensory Origin of the Subjective First-Person Perspective: Visual, Tactile, and Vestibular Mechanisms

Olaf Blanke, Roberto Martuzzi, Christophe Lopez, Christian Pfeiffer, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Julio Duenas

In three experiments we investigated the effects of visuo-tactile and visuo-vestibular conflict about the direction of gravity on three aspects of bodily self-consciousness: self-identification, self-location, and the experienced direction of the first-per ...

Nonconscious influences from emotional faces: a comparison of visual crowding, masking, and continuous flash suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre

In the study of nonconscious processing, different methods have been used in order to render stimuli invisible. While their properties are well described, the level at which they disrupt nonconscious processing remains unclear. Yet, such accurate estimatio ...

Modeling Self-Assembly Across Scales: The Unifying Perspective of Smart Minimal Particles

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud

A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous functional systems. At the same time, a large body of robotic research called swarm ...

The timing of temporoparietal and frontal activations during mental own body transformations from different visuospatial perspectives

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager

The perspective from where the world is perceived is an important aspect of the bodily self and may break down in neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences (OBEs). These striking disturbances are characterized by disembodiment, an external pe ...

Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood

Olaf Blanke

We highlight the latest research on body perception and self-consciousness, but argue that despite these achievements, central aspects have remained unexplored, namely, global aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Researchers investigated central represent ...

Enactive Robot Vision

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Enactivism claims that sensory-motor activity and embodiment are crucial in perceiving the environment and that machine vision could be a much simpler business if considered in this context. However, computational models of enactive vision are very rare an ...

On the Abstraction of Objects, Components and Interfaces

There is a wide consensus that an object explicitly embodies an abstraction, but the exact meaning of this statement is not necessarily well understood. This paper argues that the abstraction embodied by an object (or a component) implementation is nothing ...
