Цена автономии^ Университет, «украинский вопрос», (не)академическая память в долгом двадцатом веке [The Price of Autonomy: University, the "Ukrainian question," (un)academic memory In the long twentieth century]

The subject of the book is the specificity of social, national-cultural and historical self-consciousness of the "educated class" of the former Russian Empire and the former Soviet Union. The phenomenon of "intelligentsia" is considered in the spirit of V ...

Bone conduction facilitates self-other voice discrimination

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic

One's own voice is one of the most important and most frequently heard voices. Although it is the sound we associate most with ourselves, it is perceived as strange when played back in a recording. One of the main reasons is the lack of bone conduction tha ...

Breathing affects self-other voice discrimination in a bodily state associated with somatic passivity

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

A growing number of studies have focused on identifying cognitive processes that are modulated by interoceptive signals, particularly in relation to the respiratory or cardiac cycle. Considering the fundamental role of interoception in bodily self-consciou ...

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 ...

EEG Spatiotemporal Patterns Underlying Self-other Voice Discrimination

Olaf Blanke, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri, Giannina Rita Iannotti, Thomas Koenig

There is growing evidence showing that the representation of the human “self” recruits special systems across different functions and modalities. Compared to self-face and self-body representations, few studies have investigated neural underpinnings specif ...

The perspectives of mapping and monitoring of the sense of self in neurosurgical patients

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Hyeongdong Park, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri, Giannina Rita Iannotti

Surgical treatment of tumors, epileptic foci or of vascular origin, requires a detailed individual pre-surgical workup and intra-operative surveillance of brain functions to minimize the risk of post-surgical neurological deficits and decline of quality of ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, 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 ...

Dissecting self-voice perception: From bone conduction to robotically-induced self-other voice misattribution in healthy listeners

Pavo Orepic

Inspired by the prominent theory suggesting that auditory-verbal hallucinations (AVH) - the sensation of hearing voices without present speakers - arise as misattribution of inner speech towards external agents, my thesis revolved around self-voice percept ...

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 ...

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 ...

A novel microfabrication platform for hybrid multilayer MEMS

Nahid Hosseini

In Atomic force microscopy (AFM), the tip-sample interaction force can be measured through two primary detection techniques: optical beam detection (OBD) and electrical (self-sensing) readout. Compared to the optical method, the convenience of the self-sen ...

Audio-visual sensory deprivation degrades visuo-tactile peri-personal space

Olaf Blanke, Hervé Lissek, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Hyeongdong Park, Isabella Maria Pasqualini

Self-perception is scaffolded upon the integration of multisensory cues on the body, the space surrounding the body (i.e., the peri-personal space; PPS), and from within the body. We asked whether reducing information available from external space would ch ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Psychosis is Linked to Neural Disconnectivity

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

Background: Schneiderian first rank symptoms (FRS) are characterized by a diminished demarcation of self-other boundaries, causing misattribution of self-generated thoughts and actions to external sources. We have shown that introducing sensorimotor predic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Self-Referenced, Chipscale Kerr Frequency Comb without External Broadening

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, John David Jost

A Kerr frequency comb generated in an integrated silicon nitride microresonator is self-referenced using the 2f-3f approach. With an intrinsic bandwidth of two-thirds of an octave no additional, external broadening of the spectrum is required. ...

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 ...

Experience Catalysts And Architecture Towards a New Tradition

Jeffrey Huang, Selena Savic, Andrew James Sempere, Jens Badura

This paper describes two research projects in the field of interactive architecture, both examples of experience catalysts; Settings which allow new insights in the aesthetic constitution and perception of environments. This term can be thought of as somew ...

Self-sensing of linear short-stroke actuators for multi-finger haptic interfaces using induced high frequency oscillations

Yves Perriard, Grégory Savioz

With the aim of providing a new touch sensation to the user, the design of innovative multi-finger haptic devices passes through the research for efficient and low-cost methods for position sensing. This paper thus addresses a novel self-sensing method for ...
