Me, Myself, and I: Neural Activity for Self versus Other across Development

Solange Noémie Jeanne Denervaud, Paola Zanchi

Although adults and children differ in self-vs.-other perception, a developmental perspective on this discriminative ability at the brain level is missing. This study examined neural activation for self-vs.-other in a sample of 39 participants spanning fou ...

Partial Information Sharing Over Social Learning Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work addresses the problem of sharing partial information within social learning strategies. In social learning, agents solve a distributed multiple hypothesis testing problem by performing two operations at each instant: first, agents incorporate inf ...

Paradoxical simulation results of chaos-like chattering in the bouncing ball system

Kilian Schindler

This paper reports and investigates paradoxical simulation results of the bouncing ball system. Chaos-like motion of the bouncing ball system with intermittent chattering (Zeno behavior) is observed in simulations if the relative acceleration of the table ...

Increased functional connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus underlies the attenuation of numerosity estimations for self-generated words

Olaf Blanke, Jevita Potheegadoo, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Giedre Stripeikyte

Previous studies have shown that self-generated stimuli in auditory, visual, and somatosensory domains are attenuated, producing decreased behavioral and neural responses compared to the same stimuli that are externally generated. Yet, whether such attenua ...

Self-Aware Machine Learning for Multimodal Workload Monitoring During Manual Labor on Edge Wearable Sensors

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Giulio Masinelli, Adriana Arza Valdes, Farnaz Forooghifar

The design of reliable wearable technologies for real-time and long-term monitoring presents a major challenge. Self-awareness is a promising solution that enables the system to monitor itself in interaction with the environment and to manage its resources ...

Resource-Aware Distributed Epilepsy Monitoring Using Self-Awareness From Edge to Cloud

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Farnaz Forooghifar

The integration of wearable devices in humans' daily lives has grown significantly in recent years and still continues to affect different aspects of high-quality life. Thus, ensuring the reliability of the decisions becomes essential in biomedical applica ...

A Self-Aware Epilepsy Monitoring System for Real-Time Epileptic Seizure Detection

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Leila Cammoun, Farnaz Forooghifar

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent paroxystic neurological disorders that can dramatically degrade the quality of life and may even lead to death. Therefore, real-time epilepsy monitoring and seizure detection has become important over the past decades. ...

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, Quentin Antoine Marie Theillaud

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 ...

Underlying mechanisms of episodic autobiographical memory and self-consciousness

Lucie Bréchet

Cognitive neuroscience has been examining consciousness associated with the subject, that is the self of the conscious experience and its related multisensory processing of bodily signals, the so-called bodily self-consciousness. Different line of research ...

When and why performance goals predict exploitation behaviors: An achievement goal complex analysis of the selection function of assessment

Fabrizio Butera, David Nguyen, Martin Jobin, Hamza Sehaqui, Kevin Fahrni, Nicolas Sommet

We adopted an achievement goal complex framework (studying achievement goals and reasons connected to goals) to determine when and why performance goals predict exploitation of others' knowledge. We hypothesized that: (i) when selective assessment is used ...

Capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of self-generated, task-initiated thoughts with EEG and fMRI

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lucie Bréchet

The temporal structure of self-generated cognition is a key attribute to the formation of a meaningful stream of consciousness. When at rest, our mind wanders from thought to thought in distinct mental states. Despite the marked importance of ongoing menta ...

Interplay between Narrative and Bodily Self in Access to Consciousness: No Difference between Self- and Non-self Attributes

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel

The construct of the self is conceived as being fundamental in promoting survival. As such, extensive studies have documented preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli. For example, attributes that relate to the self are better encoded and retrieved ...

Bilateral Rolandic operculum processing underlying heartbeat awareness reflects changes in bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Maria Laura Blefari

Exteroceptive bodily signals (including tactile, proprioceptive and visual signals) are important information contributing to self-consciousness. Moreover, prominent theories proposed that visceral signals about internal bodily states are equally or even m ...

Self-grounded vision: hand ownership modulates visual location through cortical beta and gamma oscillations

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Roy Salomon, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Javier Bello Ruiz, Michele Scandola

Vision is known to be shaped by context, defined by environmental and bodily signals. In the Taylor illusion, the size of an afterimage projected on one's hand changes according to proprioceptive signals conveying hand position. Here, we assessed whether t ...

The Insula Mediates Access to Awareness of Visual Stimuli Presented Synchronously to the Heartbeat

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jonathan Dönz, Roy Salomon, Roberta Ronchi, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Javier Bello Ruiz, Rémi Martet

The processing of interoceptive signals in the insular cortex is thought to underlie self-awareness. However, the influence of interoception on visual awareness and the role of the insular cortex in this process remain unclear. Here, we show in a series of ...

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 ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Computational Principles of Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Mel Slater

Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal cortex and more posterior temporo-parietal regions. We highlight the behavioral, ...

EEG correlates during video quality perception

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart, Martin Rerabek, Jong Seok Lee, Eleni Kroupi

Understanding Quality of Experience (QoE) in various multimedia contents is still challenging. In this paper, we investigate the way QoE affects brain oscillations captured by electroencephalography (EEG). In particular, sixteen subjects watched 2D and 3D ...

The Brain Network reflecting Bodily Self-Consciousness: a functional connectivity study

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Silvio Ionta

Several brain regions are important for processing self-location and first-person perspective, two important aspects of bodily self-consciousness. However, the interplay between these regions has not been clarified. In addition, while self-location and fir ...
