Flight of mind: Sensorimotor and multisensory embodiment with aviation robotics, flight simulator, and virtual reality

Normally, humans experience an 'I' as residing in one's body and as the agent of one's actions. In other words, the self is experienced as being inside the body (self-location), as having a body (self-identification), and as being able to control the perso ...

Breathing affect self-other voice discrimination in a bodily state with increased otherness

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Hyeongdong Park, Pavo Orepic

A growing number of studies have focused on identifying cognitive processes that are modulated by interoceptive signals. Here we investigated whether interoception affects self-processing, by assessing changes in self-voice perception as a function of resp ...

TMS-induced control of bodily self-consciousness by combining non-invasive brain stimulation and immersive virtual reality

Matteo Franza

Our brain constantly receives and integrates a flow of sensory and motor information that shapes the way our body is represented. Several experimental approaches have been proposed to alter the body representation, by manipulating exteroceptive or interoce ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Early Psychosis

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

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 ...

Subjective feeling of re‐experiencing past events using immersive virtual reality prevents a loss of episodic memory

Robin Mange, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Lucie Bréchet, Andrea Serino

Introduction: Personally meaningful past episodes, defined as episodic memories (EM), are subjectively re-experienced from the natural perspective and location of one's own body, as described by bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Neurobiological mechanisms o ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary action and the cortical readiness potential

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Coline Barnoud, Hyeongdong Park, Henri Dan Trang

Voluntary action is a fundamental element of self-consciousness. The readiness potential (RP), a slow drift of neural activity preceding self-initiated movement, has been suggested to reflect neural processes underlying the preparation of voluntary action; ...

Exploring the Contribution of Proprioceptive Reflexes to Balance Control in Perturbed Standing

Auke Ijspeert, Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

Humans control balance using different feedback loops involving the vestibular system, the visual system, and proprioception. In this article, we focus on proprioception and explore the contribution of reflexes based on force and length feedback to standin ...

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

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

Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier, Pierre Progin, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Wenwen Chang, Kim Do

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

Efficient viral transduction in mouse inner ear hair cells with utricle injection and AAV9-PHP.B

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

Viral delivery of exogenous coding sequences into the inner ear has the potential for therapeutic benefit for patients suffering genetic or acquired hearing loss. To devise improved strategies for viral delivery, we investigated two injection techniques, r ...

Effect of Indoor Temperature and Glazing with Saturated Color on Visual Perception of Daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Giorgia Chinazzo, Jan Wienold

This paper presents the combined effect of indoor temperature (19 degrees C, 22 degrees C, and 26 degrees C) and colored glazing (blue, orange, and neutral) on visual perception of daylight. Experiments were performed in an office-like test room, in which ...

One the effect of the Vertical Axis Alignment on Cybersickness and Game Experience in Supine Posture

Ronan Boulic, Nana Tian, Louis Philippe Simoes Lopes

Cybersickness is still an inevitable adverse effect when using VR systems, resulting in different levels of discomfort, and potentially breaking the immersive experience. To date, few studies have focused on exploring VR experience in the supine posture. R ...
