Learning from humans to build social cognition among robots
Self-organized groups of robots have generally coordinated their behaviors using quite simple social interactions. Although simple interactions are sufficient for some group behaviors, future research needs to investigate more elaborate forms of ...

From Pulses to Sleep Stages: Towards Optimized Sleep Classification Using Heart-Rate Variability
More and more people quantify their sleep using wearables and are becoming obsessed in their pursuit of optimal sleep (“orthosomnia”). However, it is criticized that many of these wearables are giving inaccurate feedback and can even lead to negative ...

Sleep staging based on polysomnography (PSG) performed by human experts is the de facto “gold standard” for the objective measurement of sleep. PSG and manual sleep staging is, however, personnel-intensive and time-consuming and it is thus impractical to

Across the consciousness continuum – from unresponsive wakefulness to sleep
Advances in the development of new paradigms as well as in neuroimaging techniques nowadays enable us to make inferences about the level of consciousness patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) retain. They moreover allow predicting their probable

About the Accuracy and Problems of Consumer Devices in the Assessment of Sleep
Commercial sleep devices and mobile-phone applications for scoring sleep are gaining ground. In order to provide reliable information about the quantity and/or quality of sleep, their performance needs to be assessed against the current gold standard, i ...

Night and day variations of sleep in patients with disorders of consciousness
Brain injuries substantially change the entire landscape of oscillatory dynamics and render detection of typical sleep patterns difficult. Yet, sleep is characterized not only by specific EEG waveforms, but also by its circadian organization.

The effect of military training on the sense of agency and outcome processing
Working in military structures implies a reduction in individual autonomy, in which agents must comply with hierarchical orders. Here, the authors show that working within such a structure is associated with a reduced sense of agency and outcome ...
