Abstract:

Following stroke, a patient may fail to report touch administered by another person but claim that s/he feels touch when it is self-administered. In Part One, the self-touch rubber hand paradigm was used to investigate different explanations for this phenomenon, termed self-touch enhancement. The most important finding was that patients reported touch based on feeling rather than by using proprioceptive information. Some patients have residual sensation that could be targeted in sensory rehabilitation. Part Two is a systematic investigation of the illusion of self-touch conducted with neurolog

Abstract:

The use of imagery in preparing for a task is well documented. Sports training, in particular, is one area in which imagery has been used very successfully. In this case the sport is golf, and the task at hand is putting. On average, putting accounts for the highest percentage of shots with any single club in a round of golf. This implies that golfers should focus on putting training to better their scores. This thesis is about designing an object, a putting trainer, which can aid the process of imagery by providing more information to the user.<br>Master of Science

Abstract:

The goal of this PhD dissertation is to investigate the sense of touch in its complexity. The somatosensory system is made up of a number of submodalities, and it is a pivotal building block of our experience of the external world and the body itself. In a natural context, the somatosensory signals are continuously integrated with the signals coming from other sensory modalities, allowing to come up with unambiguous percepts of the world. When facing a somatosensory deficit, the benefits of such an optimal integration could be lost, with dramatic consequences. Due to the importance of these s

Abstract:

The feeling of owning a body part is often investigated by conducting and manipulating the rubber hand illusion, a three-way integration of vision, touch, and proprioception. In the last decade, more research on the role of interoception, the sense of the body's’ internal state, in the illusion has been made. One of the studied factors has been the affective touch, a caress-like, gentle, touch that is performed at a slow specific speed (1-10 cm/sec). Affective touch activates the C tactile afferents which send interoceptive signals to the brain, specifically the insula. The present systematic

Abstract:

In this research, I unthread the role of the body in sculpture by applying a model of thinking through the body to generate alternative ways of thinking about and working with the body sculpturally. Breaking away from a dominance of the figure over the body in sculptural practice, I deconstruct the figure through a consideration of the senses and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces of the body. Looking neither inwards towards a hidden core, nor outwards from the subconscious, I instead look orthogonally across the skin as a way to overcome the figure, using the surface of the

Abstract:

In the last decade, neuroscience and psychology alike have paid increasing attention to the study of affective touch, which refers to the emotional and motivational facets of tactile sensation. Some aspects of affective touch have been linked to a neurophysiologically specialised system, namely the C tactile (CT) system. While the role of this system for affiliation, social bonding and communication of emotions have been investigated, less is known about the potential role of affective touch in the awareness of the body as our own, i.e. as belonging to our psychological 'self'.

Abstract:

In this research, an approach is proposed for the robust tracking of upper body movement in unconstrained environments by using a Haar- Disparity algorithm together with a novel 2D silhouette projection algorithm. A cascade of boosted Haar classifiers is used to identify human faces in video images, where a disparity map is then used to establish the 3D locations of detected faces. Based on this information, anthropometric constraints are used to define a semi-spherical interaction space for upper body poses. This constrained region serves the purpose of pruning the search space as well as val

The human perceptual system is essentially multisensory. I studied how vision modulates the bodily senses, particularly the multisensory modulation of the visual context on touch and pain. I used a combination of behavioural, neurostimulation and electro-physiological techniques to investigate the neural correlates of contextual multisensory interactions. I first demonstrated that the visual context modulates touch: task-irrelevant visual arrowheads influence spatial representations of stimuli perceived by touch, depending on the spatial coincidence between visual and tactile se

The practitioners are encouraged to work from their own terms, therefore all bodies can be included in somatic practices.

Abstract:

La maladie soit un mal dont il faille guérir, c’est ce que déjà l’instinct nous dicte, mais il s’agit de savoir si l’instinct suffit à rendre raison de l’évidence, autrement dit si la raison peut même rendre raison de ce qui résiste à son emprise de rationalité. En bref s’il est possible de tenir un discours “raisonnable” sur une question qui d’emblée met en jeu le sujet.Ce travail s’inscrit dans une perspective de phénoménologie herméneutique. Il questionne cette occurrence critique du vivre qui est la confrontation à la “grande maladie”, c’est-à-dire celle que la “nature” ne suffit pas à gué

Abstract:

Background: This grounded theory study explored the views of adolescent boys aged 12 and 13 on the factors that influence their help-seeking decisions for less severe forms of psychological distress. Method: Semi-structured interviews with 12 participants from a local secondary school and a community setting were analysed according to grounded theory methods. The data analysis abstracted categories of data to construct a substantive theory of helpseeking. Results: Participants’ views revealed an interaction of ‘pressures and promoters’ that affected adolescent boys’ help-seeking decisions. The

Abstract:

This thesis brings together a fascination with the city and a keen interest in the knowledge process. The point of departure is the bodily, sensory and emotional experience. That the author uses her own perceptions and experiences and is preoccupied with her own knowledge process means that she writes herself into an autoethnographic context. She also experiments with the writing and allows it to take on a more literary form as she writes about her own sensory impressions and feelings. The term rhythmanalysis is employed as a way of assessing, exploring, interpreting and understanding the worl

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the complex processes and relationships between the physical human performer and the technologically manufactured cyber-human counterpart. I acted as both researcher and the physical human performer, deeply engaged in the moment-to-moment creation of events unfolding within a shared virtual reality environment. As the primary instigator and activator of the cyber-human partner, I maintained a balance between the live and technological performance elements, prioritizing the production of content and meaning. By way of using practice as research, this thesis ar

From Bergman’s first work Crisis（1946）to the last Saraband（2003）, he constantly explored and researched all kinds of situations about human minds. “The Face in Close Up” was the core of Bergman’s movie; and the idea was put into practice throughout his career. This essay starts from the typical issue, “The Face in Close Up”, and further disc

Abstract:

Nella vita di tutti i giorni, capita numerose volte di toccare oggetti di diverso tipo con le mani. Il nostro cervello non è un ricevitore passivo di tali informazioni. Infatti, l'elaborazione degli input sensoriali coinvolge diverse rappresentazioni corporee che influiscono sul modo in cui percepiamo gli oggetti. Numerosi studi hanno dimostrato che l’elaborazione degli stimoli tattili avviene a diversi livelli. Un primo livello coinvolge le mappe somatotopiche, rappresentazioni stabili del corpo che non tengono conto dei cambiamenti posturali. Un secondo livello, coinvolge lo schema corporeo,

Doutoramento em Motricidade Humana, especialidade de Dança.<br>Este estudo analisa o lugar do corpo sensível na formação do intérprete contemporâneo à luz dos conceitos de toque e de diferença. A investigação partiu do encontro entre estes dois conceitos que, inicialmente, refletem modos distintos de pensar a vida sensível. Por um lado, o toque como tato, como sentido do tangível, estatui-se ao mesmo tempo como o mais difícil de definir entre todos os sentidos, pela sua duplicidade e plasticidade. O toque apresenta duas dimensões: uma focada, local, coincidente com os contornos objetivo
