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

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

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 ...

Feasibility of an alternative method to estimate glenohumeral joint center from videogrammetry measurements and CT/MRI of patients

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alain Farron, Ehsan Sarshari, Matteo Mancuso

Videogrammetry is commonly used to record upper limb motions. However, it cannot track the glenohumeral joint center (GH). GH is required to reconstruct upper limb motions. Therefore, it is often estimated by separately measuring scapular motions using sca ...
