Characterization of the Sense of Agency over the Actions of Neural-machine Interface-operated Prostheses

Here we present a protocol which characterizes the sense of agency developed over the control of sensate virtual or robotic prosthetic hands. Psychophysical questionnaires are employed to capture the explicit experience of agency, and time interval estimates (intentional binding) are employed to implicitly measure the sense of...

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate: A Physics-Driven Characterization in a Medical Context

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a physical parameter, often used in routine health checks and medical diagnosis. A theoretical model that allows to extract physically-meaningful parameters from the whole sedimentation curve, based on modern colloidal knowledge, has recently been developed. Here, we present a protocol to automatically collect the ESR over time, and extract the parameters of this recent model from this automated data collection. These refined parameters are also likely to...

Non-Verbal Cues

Non-verbal communication extends beyond gestures and facial expressions to include vocal elements known as paralanguage. Paralanguage consists of non-verbal vocal cues such as pitch, loudness, speech rate, pauses, and non-verbal vocalizations like laughter, sighs, and moans. These elements not only accompany speech but also provide critical emotional and contextual information.The Role of Paralanguage in CommunicationParalanguage adds depth to spoken language by conveying emotions and...

Subliminal Perception01:15

Subliminal Perception

Subliminal perception refers to the processing of sensory information that occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Researchers study subliminal perception by presenting a stimulus, such as a word or image, very quickly, typically around 50 milliseconds. This rapid presentation is often followed by another stimulus, such as a pattern of dots or lines, which blocks further mental processing of the initial stimulus. As a result, if participants cannot identify the initial stimulus better...
