Entrainment of Voluntary Movement to Undetected Auditory Regularities

Olaf Blanke, Leila Cammoun, Aaron Schurger, Nathan Quentin Faivre

In physics “entrainment” refers to the synchronization of two coupled oscillators with similar fundamental frequencies. In behavioral science, entrainment refers to the tendency of humans to synchronize their movements with rhythmic stimuli. Here, we asked ...

Entrepreneurial Behavior: A Reconceptualization and Extension Based on Identity Theory

Marc Gruber

Research summaryEntrepreneurial behavior is core to our understanding of entrepreneurship. Yet, research progress is hindered because most studies adopt a traditional perspective of the construct that is embedded in economic rationality and focused on for- ...

The City of Extended Emotions

Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Cities are much more than just the background of our lives, or complex artefacts. They are the social field and the content over which we quarrel; the reason and the tool by which we co-operate. Cities are shaped in the form of our passions. Those passions ...

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE CITY: THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL INNOVATION AS EMOTIONAL COGNITION OF URBAN SPACE

Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

The ubiquitous upsurge of urban protests around the world In the last years seems to contradict the equally growing production of literature that deals with the city as a scene of conflict and a device for the production of segregation, reminding us of the ...

Rewards-Driven Control of Robot Arm by Decoding EEG Signals

Aude Billard, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

Decoding the user intention from non-invasive EEG signals is a challenging problem. In this paper, we study the feasibility of predicting the goal for controlling the robot arm in self-paced reaching movements, i.e., spontaneous movements that do not requi ...

The effect of arm weight support on upper limb muscle synergies during reaching movements

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Compensating for the effect of gravity by providing arm-weight support (WS) is a technique often utilized in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions such as stroke to facilitate the performance of arm movements during therap ...

Visuo-tactile integration and body ownership during self-generated action

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Jane Aspell, Ali Sengül

Although there is increasing knowledge about how visual and tactile cues from the hands are integrated, little is known about how self-generated hand movements affect such multisensory integration. Visuo-tactile integration often occurs under highly dynami ...

Spinal and Supraspinal Control of the Direction of Stepping during Locomotion

Pavel Musienko

Most bipeds and quadrupeds, in addition to forward walking, are also capable of backward and sideward walking. The direction of walking is determined by the direction of stepping movements of individual limbs in relation to the front-to-rear body axis. Our ...

Towards simple control for complex, autonomous robotic applications: Combining discrete and rhythmic motor primitives

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti, Sarah Dégallier Rochat, Sébastien Gay

Vertebrates are able to quickly adapt to new environments in a very robust, seemingly effortless way. To explain both this adaptivity and robustness, a very promising perspective in neurosciences is the modular approach to movement generation: Movements re ...

Learning and reproduction of gestures by imitation: An approach based on Hidden Markov Model and Gaussian Mixture Regression

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon, Eric Sauser, Florent D'Halluin

We present a probabilistic approach to learn robust models of human motion through imitation. The association of Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) and dynamical systems allows us to extract redundancies across multiple demonstrat ...
