Superior Facial Expression, But Not Identity Recognition, in Mirror-Touch Synesthesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Simulation models of expression recognition contend that to understand another's facial expressions, individuals map the perceived expression onto the same sensorimotor representations that are active during the experience of the perceived emotion.

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

A Custom Annotated Dataset for Segmentation of Pulmonary Veins, Arteries, and Airways

open access: yesScientific Data
Accurate segmentation of pulmonary structures from computed tomography (CT) is critical for lung disease management, yet progress is hampered by a lack of large-scale, public datasets with comprehensive multi-structure annotations.

Interaction Matters: The Effect of Touching the Social Robot PARO on Pain and Stress is Stronger When Turned ON vs. OFF

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Social touch between humans, as well as between humans and animals, was previously found to reduce pain and stress. We previously reported that touching a social robot can also induce a reduction in pain ratings. However, it is unclear if the effect that

Predicting and Comparing the Subjective Health Experience of Older Cancer Survivors and Non‐Cancer Survivors: A Modeling Approach

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This study underscores the significant influence of frailty and vitality on the subjective health experience of older cancer survivors with acceptance and control emerging as salient mediators. These findings affirm the conceptual and empirical robustness of the model highlighting its potential utility in shaping future interventions for older cancer ...

Touching body, soul, and spirit? Understanding external applications from integrative medicine: A mixed methods systematic review

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
IntroductionExternal applications from anthroposophic medicine (EAAM) are touch-based applications such as rhythmical massages, embrocations, and compresses that serve as components of complementary treatment concepts for various diseases.
