The interplay between viral molecular mimicry and host chromatin dynamics
Nucleus, 2023 Molecular mimicry is a commonly used mechanism by viruses to manipulate host cellular machinery and coordinate their life cycles. While histone mimicry is well studied, viruses also employ other mimicry strategies to affect chromatin dynamics.

Exploiting Task Tolerances in Mimicry-based Telemanipulation [PDF]
2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and
Systems (IROS), 2023 We explore task tolerances, i.e., allowable position or rotation inaccuracy, as an important resource to facilitate smooth and effective telemanipulation. Task tolerances provide a robot flexibility to generate smooth and feasible motions; however, in teleoperation, this flexibility may make the user's control less direct.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Emotional mimicry plays a vital role in understanding others’ emotions and has been found to be modulated by social contexts, especially group membership. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this modulation remain unclear.

Piezoelectric Mimicry of Flexoelectricity [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 The origin of "giant" flexoelectricity, orders of magnitude larger than theoretically predicted, yet frequently observed, is under intense scrutiny. There is mounting evidence correlating giant flexoelectric-like effects with parasitic piezoelectricity, but it is not clear how piezoelectricity (polarization generated by strain) manages to imitate ...

Does the Goal Matter? Emotion Recognition Tasks Can Change the Social Value of Facial Mimicry towards Artificial Agents [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 8, 362 (2021), 2021 In this paper, we present a study aimed at understanding whether the embodiment and humanlikeness of an artificial agent can affect people's spontaneous and instructed mimicry of its facial expressions. The study followed a mixed experimental design and revolved around an emotion recognition task.

Ecological and evolutionary processes drive the origin and maintenance of imperfect mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Although the forces behind the evolution of imperfect mimicry remain poorly studied, recent hypotheses suggest that relaxed selection on small-bodied individuals leads to imperfect mimicry.

Mimicry mechanism model of octopus epidermis pattern by inverse operation of Turing reaction model [PDF]
PLOS ONE. August 11, 2021, 2021 Many cephalopods such as octopus and squid change their skin color purposefully within a very short time. Furthermore, it is widely known that some octopuses have the ability to change the color and unevenness of the skin and to mimic the surroundings in short time.

Semiotic modeling of mimicry with reference to brood parasitism
Sign Systems Studies, 2010 Biological mimicry can be considered as having a double-layered structure: there is a layer of ecological relations between species and there is a layer of semiotic relations of the sign. The present article demonstrates the limitations of triadic models
