Physical Body Orientation Impacts Virtual Navigation Experience and Performance

Olaf Blanke, Hyukjun Moon, Emanuela De Falco, Hsin-Ping Wu

Most human navigation studies in MRI rely on virtual navigation. However, the necessary supine position in MRI makes it fundamentally different from daily ecological navigation. Nonetheless, until now, no study has assessed whether differences in physical ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of the unbalance behavior of rigid rotors supported by spiral-grooved gas journal bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Elia Iseli

The forced response of rigid rotors, supported by herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings are investigated numerically and experimentally. The rotor configurations are varied by using end cylinders, attached at both sides of the shaft. Three rotors with d ...

Bodily self and human grid cell-like activity: probing spatial representation with immersive virtual reality

Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells are place-modulated neurons that encode the location of an agent in space, relying on the integration of various sensorimotor signals from the body. Of note, the integration of those signals is also fundamental for the agent's conscious experien ...

Interactions of spatial strategies producing generalization gradient and blocking: A computational approach

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a computational model of spatial navigation comprising different learning mechanisms in mammals, i.e., associative, cognitive mapping and parallel systems. This model is able to reproduce a large number of experimental results in different varia ...

Comparison of permutationally invariant polynomials, neural networks, and Gaussian approximation potentials in representing water interactions through many-body expansions

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

The accurate representation of multidimensional potential energy surfaces is a necessary requirement for realistic computer simulations of molecular systems. The continued increase in computer power accompanied by advances in correlated electronic structur ...

The isostatic 3-body problem: a complete solution

Simon Nessim Henein, François Barrot, Florent Cosandier, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis, Ilan Vardi

Kinematic couplings are used when two rigid bodies need to be repeatedly and accurately positioned with respect to each other. They allow for sub-micron positioning repeatability by suppressing play and reducing strains in the bodies. Typical applications ...

Electrical impedance tomography: Amplitudes of cardiac related impedance changes in the lung are highly position dependent

Michael Graf

Background Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used on the thorax to measure impedance changes due to the presence of air and blood in the lung. This experimental study was performed to investigate the effect of posture on cardiac and respiratory rela ...

Multisensory simultaneity judgment and proximity to the body

Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Marta Lukowska

The integration of information across different sensory modalities is known to be dependent upon the statistical characteristics of the stimuli to be combined. For example, the spatial and temporal proximity of stimuli are important determinants with stimu ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...

Visuospatial viewpoint manipulation during full-body illusion modulates subjective first-person perspective

Olaf Blanke, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Christian Pfeiffer

Self-consciousness is based on multisensory signals from the body. In full-body illusion (FBI) experiments, multisensory conflict was used to induce changes in three key aspects of bodily self-consciousness (BSC): self-identification (which body 'I' identi ...

On The Stochastic Modeling Of Rigid Body Systems With Application To Polymer Dynamics

John Maddocks

The stochastic equations of motion for a system of interacting rigid bodies in a solvent are formulated and studied. Three-dimensional bodies of arbitrary shape, with arbitrary couplings between translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as arise in ...

Nonlinear Stability of Riemann Ellipsoids with Symmetric Configurations

Using modern differential geometric methods, we study the relative equilibria for Dirichlet's model of a self-gravitating fluid mass having at least two equal axes. We show that the only relative equilibria of this type correspond to Riemann ellipsoids for ...

Vestibular syndrome: A change in internal spatial representation

Christophe Lopez

The vestibular system contributes to a wide range of functions from reflexes to spatial representation. This paper reviews behavioral, perceptive, and cognitive data that highlight the role of changes in internal spatial representation on the vestibular sy ...

Spatial learning and navigation in the rat : a biomimetic model

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

Animals behave in different ways depending on the specific task they are required to solve. In certain cases, if a cue marks the goal location, they can rely on simple stimulusresponse associations. In contrast, other tasks require the animal to be endowed ...
