Peripersonal Space: An Index of Multisensory Body–Environment Interactions in Real, Virtual, and Mixed Realities

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Fosco Bernasconi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Robin Mange

Human–environment interactions normally occur in the physical milieu and thus by medium of the body and within the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body, the peripersonal space (PPS). However, human interactions increasingly occur with or ...

Real-time neural network prediction for handling two-hands mutual occlusions

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut, Mathias Guy Delahaye

Hands deserve particular attention in virtual reality (VR) applications because they represent our primary means for interacting with the environment. Although marker-based motion capture works adequately for full body tracking, it is less reliable for sma ...

Building exposure: synergy of interaction and narration through the social channel

Daniel Thalmann, Bruno Herbelin, Michal Ponder

The ability to build and control exposure through a seamless synergy of interaction and narration is a strongly required feature of a new type of immersive-VR training and therapy system. This paper presents a practical approach for immersive-VR training a ...

First-person body view modulates the neural substrates of episodic memory and autonoetic consciousness: A functional connectivity study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Baptiste Gauthier, Robin Mange, Lucie Bréchet, Florian Lance

Episodic memory (EM) is classically conceived as a memory for events, localized in space and time, and characterized by autonoetic consciousness (ANC) allowing to mentally travel back in time and subjectively relive an event. Building on recent evidence th ...

Out-of-body illusion induced by visual-vestibular stimulation

Estelle Nakul, Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Florian Lance, Hsin-Ping Wu

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by the subjective feeling of being located outside one's physical body and perceiving one's own body from an elevated perspective looking downwards. OBEs have been correlated with abnormal integration of bod ...

Customizing the human-avatar mapping based on EEG error related potentials during avatar-based interaction

Olaf Blanke, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ronan Boulic, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Bruno Herbelin, Fumiaki Iwane, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Objective. A key challenge of virtual reality (VR) applications is to maintain a reliable human-avatar mapping. Users may lose the sense of controlling (sense of agency), owning (sense of body ownership), or being located (sense of self-location) inside th ...

Reconciling Being in-Control vs. Being Helped for the Execution of Complex Movements in VR

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Performing motor tasks in virtual environments is best achieved with motion capture and animation of a 3D character that participants control in real time and perceive as being their avatar in the virtual environment. A strong Sense of Embodiment (SoE) for ...

In case of doubt, one follows one's self: the implicit guidance of the embodied self-avatar

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Loën Boban

The sense of embodiment in virtual reality (VR) is commonly understood as the subjective experience that one's physical body is substituted by a virtual counterpart, and is typically achieved when the avatar's body, seen from a first-person view, moves lik ...

Cardio-visual full body illusion alters bodily self-consciousness and tactile processing in somatosensory cortex

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Prominent theories highlight the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness, but it is currently not known whether this is based on interoceptive or exteroceptive signals or on integrated signals from these anatomically distinct systems, nor wh ...

Heartbeat-enhanced immersive virtual reality to treat complex regional pain syndrome

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roberta Ronchi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Marco Solcà, Thomas Schmidlin

OBJECTIVES: To develop and test a new immersive digital technology for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) that combines principles from mirror therapy and immersive virtual reality and the latest research from multisensory body processing. METHODS: In t ...

Real-time 360 Body Scanning System for Virtual Reality Research Applications

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Florian Lance, Louis Philippe Albert

We present a low-cost solution to perform the online and realistic representation of users using an array of depth cameras. The system is composed of a cluster of 10 Microsoft Kinect 2 cameras, each one associated to a compact NUC PC to stream live depth & ...

Changing Finger Movement Perception: Influence of Active Haptics on Visual Dominance

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Loën Boban

The perception of one’s own body is a complex mechanism that can be disturbed by conflicting sensory information and lead to illusory (mis-) perceptions. Prominent models of multisensory integration propose that sensory streams are integrated according to ...

On the Importance of Providing a Tangible Haptic Response for Training Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Virtual Reality

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Mathias Guy Delahaye

The current approach to train Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is to employ a mannequin device replicating the physical properties of a real human head and torso. This aims to ensure a correct transfer of the cardiac massage location, amplitude and freq ...

Posing for awareness: Proprioception modulates access to visual consciousness in a continuous flash suppression task

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon

The rules governing the selection of which sensory information reaches consciousness are yet unknown. Of our senses, vision is often considered to be the dominant sense, and the effects of bodily senses, such as proprioception, on visual consciousness are ...

Visual gravity contributes to subjective first-person perspective

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Christian Pfeiffer, Petr Grivaz

A fundamental component of conscious experience involves a first-person perspective (1PP), characterized by the experience of being a subject and of being directed at the world. Extending earlier work on multisensory perceptual mechanisms of 1PP, we here a ...

First-person view of one’s body in immersive virtual reality: Influence on episodic memory

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Jane Aspell, Robin Mange, Baptiste Gauthier, Lucie Bréchet

Episodic memories (EMs) are recollections of contextually rich and personally relevant past events. EM has been linked to the sense of self, allowing one to mentally travel back in subjective time and re-experience past events. However, the sense of self h ...

Mechanisms of the breathing contribution to bodily self‐consciousness in healthy humans: Lessons from machine‐assisted breathing?

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Oliver Alan Kannape, Elisa Canzoneri, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Javier Bello Ruiz

Previous studies investigated bodily self‐consciousness (BSC) by experimentally exposing subjects to multisensory conflicts (i.e., visuo‐tactile, audio‐tactile, visuo‐cardiac) in virtual reality (VR) that involve the participant's torso in a paradigm known ...

Adapting Virtual Embodiment through Reinforcement Learning

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

In Virtual Reality, having a virtual body opens a wide range of possibilities as the participant's avatar can appear to be quite different from oneself for the sake of the targeted application (e.g. for perspective-taking). In addition, the system can part ...

Balancing awareness: Vestibular signals modulate visual consciousness in the absence of awareness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Mariia Kaliuzhna

The processing of visual and vestibular information is crucial for perceiving self-motion. Visual cues, such as optic flow, have been shown to induce and alter vestibular percepts, yet the role of vestibular information in shaping visual awareness remains ...

Breathing and sense of self: Visuo-respiratory conflicts alter body self-consciousness (Reprint from Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, vol 203, pg 68-74)

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Bodily self-consciousness depends on the processing of interoceptive and exteroceptive signals. It can be disrupted by inducing signal conflicts. Breathing, at the crossroad between interoception and exteroception, should contribute to bodily self-consciou ...
