Decoding Cognitive States under Varying Difficulty Levels

Understanding cognitive states of human under different difficulty levels is useful in improving human-human and human-machine interactions. For example, a crucial factor in designing games is maintaining the engagement of players. An ideal scenario would ...

Action Units and Their Cross-Correlations for Prediction of Cognitive Load during Driving

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Anil Yuce, Hua Gao, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Driving requires the constant coordination of many body systems and full attention of the person. Cognitive distraction (subsidiary mental load) of the driver is an important factor that decreases attention and responsiveness, which may result in human err ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...

Vestibular contribution to bodily self-consciousness and multisensory cortical processing

Christian Pfeiffer

How does the self relate to the body? Bodily self-consciousness, i.e. the sense of being a subject bound to a body, involves a first-person perspective (1PP), i.e. the sense of being directed at the world. Prior research suggests that bodily self-conscious ...

Visual consciousness and bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Purpose of review: In recent years, consciousness has become a central topic in cognitive neuroscience. This review focuses on the relation between bodily self-consciousness - the feeling of being a subject in a body - and visual consciousness - the subjec ...

Breathing and sense of self: Visuo-respiratory conflicts alter body self-consciousness

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 ...

Multisensory Origin of the Subjective First-Person Perspective: Visual, Tactile, and Vestibular Mechanisms

Olaf Blanke, Roberto Martuzzi, Christophe Lopez, Christian Pfeiffer, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Julio Duenas

In three experiments we investigated the effects of visuo-tactile and visuo-vestibular conflict about the direction of gravity on three aspects of bodily self-consciousness: self-identification, self-location, and the experienced direction of the first-per ...
