Predisposition to Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is associated with aberrations in multisensory integration:psychophysiological support from a “rubber-hand illusion” study [PDF]
It has been argued that disorders in body-ownership and aberrant experiences in self-consciousness are due to biases in multisensory integration. Here we examine whether such biases are also associated with spontaneous Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) in a

Design and Applications of Multi‐Frequency Programmable Metamaterials for Adaptive Stealth
This article provides a comprehensive overview of metamaterials, including their fundamental principles, properties, synthesis techniques, and applications in stealth, as well as their challenges and future prospects. It covers topics that are more advanced than those typically discussed in existing review articles, while still being closely connected ...

The Rubber Hand Illusion: Two's a company, but three's a crowd [PDF]
On the one hand, it is often assumed that the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) is constrained by a structural body model so that one cannot implement supernumerary limbs. On the other hand, several recent studies reported illusory duplication of the right hand

Transcending the self in immersive virtual reality [PDF]
Cognitive neuroscientists have discovered various experimental setups that suggest that our body representation is surprisingly flexible, where the brain can easily be tricked into the illusion that a rubber hand is your hand or that a manikin body is ...

Analysis of Vibration‐enabled Dynamic Dispensing of Surrogate Energetic Powders
ABSTRACT Energetic materials have uniquely high energy densities and rapid release rates that provide solutions to a wide range of engineering problems, such as propulsion and demolition. The sensitivity of energetics is dependent on many factors, including microstructure and sources of initiation (i.e., mechanical insult, thermal, and electrostatic ...

Sensations of skin infestation linked to abnormal frontolimbic brain reactivity and differences in self-representation [PDF]
Some patients experience skin sensations of infestation and contamination that are elusive to proximate dermatological explanation. We undertook a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain to demonstrate, for the first time, that central ...

The Nature, Structure, and Perception of Illumination
ABSTRACT Illumination is a defining characteristic of natural environments, yet its nature and spatial structure remain poorly understood. I argue first that illumination is not simply light: it is an emergent, ecologically significant kind. Illumination has features not possessed by light, and contains self‐organizing structures that persist through ...

A Secret of Hypnosis: A Dynamic Rubber Hand Illusion [PDF]
Presenting a suggestion of heaviness to a person in a hypnotic trance (e.g., "your arm is getting heavier and heavier") tends to result in a corresponding change in the person's body position (e.g., the arm lowers).

Multisensory integration induces body ownership of a handtool, but not any handtool [PDF]
Bodily boundaries are computed by integrating multisensory bodily signals and can be experimentally manipulated using bodily illusions. Research on tool use demonstrates that tools alter body representations motorically to account for changes in a user's

ABSTRACT Experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience have attempted to understand the underlying functioning of one's body experience. This has resulted in standardized methods involving multisensory manipulations and physiological, behavioral, and subjective measures.
