Understanding how the human brain integrates features of perceived events calls for examination binding processes within and across different modalities domains. Recent studies feature-repetition effects have demonstrated interactions between shape, color, location in visual modality pitch, loudness, auditory modality: repeating one feature is beneficial if other are also repeated, but detrimental not. These partial-repetition costs suggest that co-occurring spontaneously bound into...

Term-Relevance Prediction from Brain Signals (TRPB) is proposed to automatically detect relevance of text information directly brain signals. An experiment with forty participants was conducted record neural activity while providing judgments stimuli for a given topic. High-precision scientific equipment used quantify across 32 electroencephalography (EEG) channels. A classifier based on multi-view EEG feature representation showed improvement up 17% in prediction signals alone. Relevance...

Abstract Although the previous studies have shown that an emotional context may alter touch processing, it is not clear how visual contextual information modulates sensory signals, and at what levels does this modulation take place. Therefore, we investigated a toucher’s expressions (anger, happiness, fear, sadness) modulate touchee’s somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) in different temporal ranges. Participants were presented with tactile stimulation appearing to originate from...

A reliable experience of time is critical for perception and action in the present, accurately remembering our past, successfully planning a future. Theories commonly assume central mechanism keeps by providing relatively independent, internal clock. Recent work, however, shows imaginary self-movements alter subjective time, suggesting role temporal cognition. To test hypothesis that derives from relationship between perception, we designed neuroadaptive interface operating on movement to...

Virtual reality presents an extraordinary platform for multimodal communication. Haptic technologies have been shown to provide important contribution this by facilitating co-presence and allowing affective However, the findings of influences rely on studies that used myriad different types haptic technology, making it likely some forms tactile feedback are more efficient in communicating emotions than others. To find out whether is true which most effective, we measured user experience...

The Midas touch refers to the altruistic effects of a brief touch. Though these have often been replicated, they remain poorly understood. We investigate psychophysiology effect using remotely transmitted, precisely timed, tactile messages in an economic decision-making game called Ultimatum. Participants were more likely accept offers after receiving transmitted Furthermore, we found distinct on event-related potentials evoked by (a) feedback regarding accepted and rejected offers, (b)...

Ideomotor theory considers bidirectional action-effect associations to be the fundamental building blocks for intentional action. The present study employed a novel pupillometric and oculomotor paradigm developmental changes in role of action-effects acquisition voluntary Our findings suggest that both 7- 12-month-olds (and adults) can use acquired bindings predict action outcomes but only showed evidence employing select actions. This dissociation supports idea infants acquire knowledge...

In daily life, we often copy the gestures and expressions of those communicate with, but recent evidence shows that such mimicry has a physiological counterpart: interaction elicits linkage, which is concordance between biological signals involved. To find out how type social affects pairs participants played turn-based computer game in level competition was systematically varied cooperation competition. Linkage beta gamma frequency bands observed EEG, especially when directly against each...

Receiving a touch or smile increases compliance in natural face-to-face settings. It has been unclear, however, whether virtual agent's and also promote there are individual differences proneness to nonverbal persuasion. Utilizing multimodal reality, we investigated promoted requests receiver's personality modulated the effects. Compliance was measured using ultimatum game, which participants were asked either reject accept an monetary offers. Decision-making data accompanied by...

Peripheral physiological signals, as obtained using electrodermal activity and facial electromyography over the corrugator supercilii muscle, are explored indicators of perceived relevance in information retrieval tasks. An experiment with 40 participants is reported, which these signals recorded while perform Appropriate feature engineering defined, space explored. The results indicate that features window 4 to 6 seconds after judgment for activity, from 1 second before 2 associated users'...

Finding relevant information from large document collections such as the World Wide Web is a common task in our daily lives. Estimation of user's interest or search intention necessary to recommend and retrieve these collections. We introduce brain-information interface used for recommending by relevance inferred directly brain signals. In experiments, participants were asked read Wikipedia documents about selection topics while their EEG was recorded. Based on prediction word relevance,...

Brain-computer interfaces enable active communication and execution of a pre-defined set commands, such as typing letter or moving cursor. However, they have thus far not been able to infer more complex intentions adapt output based on brain signals. Here, we present neuroadaptive generative modelling, which uses participant's signals feedback boundless model generate new information matching the intentions. We report an experiment validating paradigm in generating images human faces. In...

Generative models are powerful tools for producing novel information by learning from example data. However, the current approaches require explicit manual input to steer generative match human goals. Furthermore, how these would integrate implicit, diverse feedback and goals of multiple users remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a first-of-its-kind system that produces images faces inferring directly cross-subject brain signals while study subjects looking at images. We report on an...

Manual dexterity is known to gradually progress with developmental age. In this study, we evaluate the performance of unimanual and bimanual actions under perturbed unperturbed conditions in children between 4 10 years Behavior was assessed by means trajectory measurements degree coupling. The results showed that younger performed less successfully than older tasks, a plateau occurring around age 8 years. SWAN rating scale inattention hyperactivity/impulsivity correlated behavior at...
