Emergence and Categorization of Coordinated Visual Behavior Through Embodied Interaction

This paper discusses the emergence of sensorimotor coordination for ESCHeR, a 4DOF redundant foveated rob ot-head, by interaction with its environment. A feedback-error-learning(FEL)-based distributed control ...

An Embodied Brain Model of the Human Foetus

Cortical learning via sensorimotor experiences evoked by bodily movements begins as early as the foetal period. However, the learning mechanisms by which sensorimotor experiences guide cortical learning remain...

Tactile feedback for relief of deafferentation pain using virtual reality system: a pilot study

Previous studies have tried to relieve deafferentation pain (DP) by using virtual reality rehabilitation systems. However, the effectiveness of multimodal sensory feedback was not validated. The objective of t...

Species-specific Posture of Human Foetus in Late First Trimester

The ontogeny associated with the arm-hanging posture, which is considered ape-specific, remains unknown. To examine its ontogeny, we measured foetal movements of 62 human foetuses aged 10–20 gestation weeks us...

Stapedial reflex threshold predicts individual loudness tolerance for people with autistic spectrum disorders

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently show the symptoms of oversensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). Although the previous studies have investigated methods for quantifying hyperacusis in ASD, ap...

Reward sensitivity differs depending on global self-esteem in value-based decision-making

Global self-esteem is a component of individual personality that impacts decision-making. Many studies have discussed the different preferences for decision-making in response to threats to a person’s self-con...

Respiratory entrainment of the locus coeruleus modulates arousal level to avoid physical risks from external vibration

Slow rocking chairs can easily put people to sleep, while violent shaking, such as during earthquakes, may lead to rapid awakening. However, the influence of external body vibrations on arousal remains unclear...
