Device, System, and Method for Robot-Controlled Induction of the Feeling of Human Presence

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini

A method for inducing the feeling of a presence (FoP) in a subject by using a master-slave robotic system, the method including the steps of altering a visual perception of a surrounding environment of the subject, connecting the subject with a robotic mas ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Marco Solcà, Robin Mange, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

Neuroscience robotics for controlled induction and real-time assessment of hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Eva Blondiaux, Laurent Frédéric Jenni, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Although hallucinations are important and frequent symptoms in major psychiatric and neurological diseases, little is known about their brain mechanisms. Hallucinations are unpredictable and private experiences, making their investigation, quantification a ...

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 ...

Neurological and Robot-Controlled Induction of an Apparition

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Lukas Heydrich, 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 ...

Extending the body to virtual tools using a robotic surgical interface: evidence from the crossmodal congruency task

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Jane Aspell, Michiel van Elk, Ali Sengül

The effects of real-world tool use on body or space representations are relatively well established in cognitive neuroscience. Several studies have shown, for example, that active tool use results in a facilitated integration of multisensory information in ...

Real-time fMRI neurofeedback modulates induced hallucinations and underlying brain mechanisms

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jevita Potheegadoo, Elenor Morgenroth, Nicolas Gninenko, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Hallucinations can occur in the healthy population, are clinically relevant and frequent symptoms in many neuropsychiatric conditions, and have been shown to mark disease progression in patients with neurodegenerative disorders where antipsychotic treatmen ...

Method and system for creating an out-of-body experience

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Giulio Rognini, Florian Lance, Simon Gallo

A computer-implemented method for inducing an Out of Body Experience (OBE) in a user through an augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) system, the OBE including an exit state and a disembodiment state, the method comprising the steps of (a) changing the user vi ...

Voluntary self-touch increases body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Polona Pozeg

Experimental manipulations of body ownership have indicated that multisensory integration is central to forming bodily self representation. Voluntary self touch is a unique multisensory situation involving corresponding motor, tactile and proprioceptive si ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Early Psychosis

Olaf Blanke, Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Fosco Bernasconi, Silvia Marchesotti

Dysfunction of sensorimotor predictive processing is thought to underlie abnormalities in self-monitoring producing passivity symptoms in psychosis. Experimentally induced sensorimotor conflict can produce a failure in bodily self-monitoring (presence hall ...

Modeling and Design of a Gripper for a Robotic Surgical System Integrating Force Sensing Capabilities in 4 DOF

Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira, Ali Sengül, Laura Santos Carreras, Mathieu Joseph Charles Stephan

This paper reports the design of a Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) gripper with four degrees of freedom force sensing capabilities. It will be used to provide force feedback during surgical interventions in which the surgeon will remotely manipulate surgi ...

Crossing the hands increases illusory self-touch

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Polona Pozeg

Manipulation of hand posture, such as crossing the hands, has been frequently used to study how the body and its immediately surrounding space are represented in the brain. Abundant data show that crossed arms posture impairs remapping of tactile stimuli f ...

Thought consciousness and source monitoring depend on robotically-controlled sensorimotor conflicts and illusory states

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Fosco Bernasconi, Marco Solcà, Giedre Stripeikyte, Polona Pozeg, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Thought insertion (TI) is characterized by the experience that certain thoughts, occurring in one’s mind, are not one’s own, but the thoughts of somebody else and suggestive of a psychotic disorder. We report a robotics-based method able to investigate the ...

Restoration of natural thermal sensation in upper-limb amputees

Silvestro Micera, Giulio Rognini, Solaiman Shokur, Outman Akouissi, Simon Gallo, Jonathan Louis Muheim

The use of hands for gathering rich sensory information is essential for proper interaction with the environment; therefore, the restoration of sensation is critical for reestablishing the sense of embodiment in hand amputees. Here, we show that a noninvas ...
