  • a unified science of the non Conscious Mind
    Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2011
    Co-Authors: Beatrice De Gelder, Marco Tamietto
    Abstract:

    4 . With respect to contents, affective neuro- science and psychoanalysis both deal with the affective determinants of behaviour. In cases in which these determinants are represented by external events, both disciplines accept that there is a substantial non-Conscious component. In neuroscience it may be helpful to distinguish between behavioural determinants that operate completely outside awareness and cannot possibly gain access to awareness (such as some odours or pherom- ones), and other determinants (such as visual or sensory events) that normally have access to awareness. In the latter case, when external emotional events fail to reach the level of con- sciousness it is because fewer neural resources dedicated to their processing are available. This may be due to neural damage that blocks processing in certain brain areas, or may

  • cognetics robotic interfaces for the Conscious Mind
    Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2016
    Co-Authors: Giulio Rognini, Olaf Blanke
    Abstract:

    Cognetics joins the cognitive neuroscience of bodily awareness with robotics to study, control, and enhance perception, cognition, and Consciousness. We highlight robot-controlled bodily perception, Conscious states, and social interactions and sketch how future cognetic interfaces will impact cognitive neuroscience and human enhancement.

  • seeing and identifying with a virtual body decreases pain perception
    European Journal of Pain, 2011
    Co-Authors: Alexander Hansel, Bigna Lenggenhager, Roland Von Kanel, Michele Curatolo, Olaf Blanke
    Abstract:

    Pain and the Conscious Mind (or the self) are experienced in our body. Both are intimately linked to the subjective quality of Conscious experience. Here, we used virtual reality technology and visuo-tactile conflicts in healthy subjects to test whether experimentally induced changes of bodily self-Consciousness (self-location; self-identification) lead to changes in pain perception. We found that visuo-tactile stroking of a virtual body but not of a control object led to increased pressure pain thresholds and self-location. This increase was not modulated by the synchrony of stroking as predicted based on earlier work. This differed for self-identification where we found as predicted that synchrony of stroking increased self-identification with the virtual body (but not a control object), and positively correlated with an increase in pain thresholds. We discuss the functional mechanisms of self-identification, self-location, and the visual perception of human bodies with respect to pain perception.

  • embodisuit a wearable platform for embodied knowledge
    International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sophia Brueckner, Rachel Freire
    Abstract:

    The Embodisuit allows its wearer to map signals onto different places on their body. Informed by embodied cognition, the suit receives signals from an IoT platform, and each signal controls a different haptic actuator on the body. Knowledge is experienced ambiently without necessitating the interpretation of symbols by the Conscious Mind. The suit empowers wearers to reconfigure the boundaries of their selves strengthening their connection to the people, places, and things that are meaningful to them. It both critiques and offers an alternative to current trends in wearable technology. Most wearables harvest data from their users to be sent and processed elsewhere. The Embodisuit flips this paradigm such that data is taken in through the body instead. Furthermore, we believe that by changing the way people live with data, it will change the type of data that people create.

  • the unConscious Mind
    Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2008
    Co-Authors: John A Bargh, Ezequiel Morsella
    Abstract:

    The unConscious Mind is still viewed by many psychological scientists as the shadow of a “real” Conscious Mind, though there now exists substantial evidence that the unConscious is not identifiably less flexible, complex, controlling, deliberative, or action-oriented than is its counterpart. This “Conscious-centric” bias is due in part to the operational definition within cognitive psychology that equates unConscious with subliminal. We review the evidence challenging this restricted view of the unConscious emerging from contemporary social cognition research, which has traditionally defined the unConscious in terms of its unintentional nature; this research has demonstrated the existence of several independent unConscious behavioral guidance systems: perceptual, evaluative, and motivational. From this perspective, it is concluded that in both phylogeny and ontogeny, actions of an unConscious Mind precede the arrival of a Conscious Mind—that action precedes reflection.
