Hiding in Plain Sight: The Issue of Hidden Variables

Here we discuss "hidden variables", which are typically introduced during an experiment as a consequence of the application of two independent variables together to create a stimulus. With increased sophistication in modern chemical biology tools and relat ...

Statistical nature of the incipient plasticity in amorphous alloys

Shankha Nag

Statistical analyses of the first pop-in stress data, obtained by spherical tip-nanoindentation experiments on different metallic glasses (MGs) with tip radius, R-i, loading rate, (P) over dot, and structural state of the glass as experimental variables, s ...

Conceptual processing is referenced to the experienced location of the self, not to the location of the physical body

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

We tested whether an experimentally induced change in the experienced location of the self by means of the Full Body Illusion (FBI) would impact high-level cognitive processing. In an implicit association task, participants saw a landscape where words, con ...

Leg muscle vibration modulates bodily self-consciousness: integration of proprioceptive, visual, and tactile signals

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Estelle Palluel

Behavioral studies have used visuo-tactile conflicts between a participant's body and a visually presented fake or virtual body to investigate the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness (bodily self-consciousness). Illusory self-identificat ...

Perceptual learning by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

In a bisection discrimination task, two vertical outer lines delineate an interval which is bisected by a centre line. Observers indicate whether this centre line is closer to the left or right outer line. Performance in this task improves strongly with tr ...

Perceptual learning by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

In perceptual learning, performance improves when stimuli are presented over and over again. In a bisection task, for example, two vertical outer lines delineate an interval which is bisected by a centre line. Observers indicate whether this centre line is ...

Development of a force amplitude- and location-sensing device designed to improve the ligament balancing procedure in TKA

Hannes Bleuler, Thomas Maeder, Denis Crottet

A force-sensing device to intraoperatively measure knee joint forces and moments to improve the ligament balancing procedure during total knee arthroplasty has been developed. It consists of two sensitive plates, one for each condyle, a tibial base plate a ...
