Inter-Task Transfer of Prism Adaptation through Motor Imagery

Prism adaptation (PA) is a useful method to investigate short-term sensorimotor plasticity. Following active exposure to prisms, individuals show consistent after-effects, probing that they have adapted to the perturbation. Whether after-effects are transf ...

Emotional sounds in space: asymmetrical representation within early-stage auditory areas

Stephanie Clarke, Sandra Elisabete Monney

Evidence from behavioral studies suggests that the spatial origin of sounds may influence the perception of emotional valence. Using 7T fMRI we have investigated the impact of the categories of sound (vocalizations; non-vocalizations), emotional valence (p ...

The Impact of Data Persistence Bias on Social Media Studies

Tugrulcan Elmas

Social media studies often collect data retrospectively to analyze public opinion. Social media data may decay over time and such decay may prevent the collection of the complete dataset. As a result, the collected dataset may differ from the complete data ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary initiation of mental imagery

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Hyeongdong Park

Previous research has suggested that bodily signals from internal organs are associated with diverse cortical and subcortical processes involved in sensory-motor functions, beyond homeostatic reflexes. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that the pre ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...

Illusory hand ownership in a patient with personal neglect for the upper limb, but no somatoparaphenia

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Lukas Heydrich, Roberta Ronchi

The symptoms of patients with left personal neglect are characterized by inattention towards contralesional (left) body parts while at the same time explicitly ascertaining ownership for the neglected hemibody. It is currently unknown if personal neglect i ...

Motor and cognitive brain circuits of brain-machine interactions

Silvia Marchesotti

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) allow the user to control an external device such as a robotic arm, a cursor, or an avatar in a virtual world through the real-time decoding of brain signals and without the involvement of the musculoskeletal system. Althoug ...

Study of the impact of electrical heterogeneities in the right and left atrium on atrial fibrillation perpetuation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Jacquemet, Adrian Luca

Introduction: Electrical heterogeneity in the atria has been consistently linked with the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present model-based study investigated the contribution of action potential duration (APD) heterogeneitie ...

Quantifying the role of motor imagery in brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Silvia Marchesotti

Despite technical advances in brain machine interfaces (BMI), for as-yet unknown reasons the ability to control a BMI remains limited to a subset of users. We investigate whether individual differences in BMI control based on motor imagery (MI) are related ...

Majority logic synthesis

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù

A method for optimizing an implementation of a logic circuit, comprising steps of providing an interpretation of the logic circuit in terms of 3 Boolean variable majority operators M, with each of the majority operators being a function of a plurality of v ...

Remarks on Schur's conjecture

János Pach, Filip Moric

Let P be a set of n > d points in for d >= 2. It was conjectured by Zvi Schur that the maximum number of (d-1)-dimensional regular simplices of edge length diam(P), whose every vertex belongs to P, is n. We prove this statement under the condition that any ...

Perceptual Learning With Only One Stimulus

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Perceptual learning is learning to see. For example in a bisection task, three parallel lines are presented with the central line slightly offset towards the right or the left outer line. Participants indicate the offset direction. Training gradually impro ...

Towards Implementation of Motor Imagery using Brain Connectivity Features

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang

This study aims to explore modulation of the connectivity pattern when people perform left hand versus right hand motor imagery and probe the feasibility of adopting connectivity information to discriminate these tasks. Nine subjects were recorded with 16- ...

The time of perception and the perception of time are not identical

Michael Herzog

Often it is assumed that the time of perception is identical or tightly linked to the perception of time. For example, we can clearly perceive a 20 ms delay of two squares presented one after the other at nearby locations (leading to the percept of apparen ...

Perceptual learning of motion discrimination by mental imagery

Michael Herzog

Perceptual learning can occur when stimuli are only imagined, i.e., without proper stimulus presentation. For example, perceptual learning improved bisection discrimination when only the two outer lines of the bisection stimulus were presented and the cent ...

Experimental investigation of the spreading of viscoplastic fluids on inclined planes

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released a plane. We used Carbo ...
