Egocentric value maps of the near-body environment.

Nature neuroscience
Body-part-centered response fields are pervasive in single neurons, functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography and behavior, but there is no unifying formal explanation of their origins and role. In the present study, we used reinf...

Game theoretical trajectory planning enhances social acceptability of robots by humans.

Scientific reports
Since humans and robots are increasingly sharing portions of their operational spaces, experimental evidence is needed to ascertain the safety and social acceptability of robots in human-populated environments. Although several studies have aimed at ...

Embodiment of supernumerary robotic limbs in virtual reality.

Scientific reports
The supernumerary robotic limb system expands the motor function of human users by adding extra artificially designed limbs. It is important for us to embody the system as if it is a part of one's own body and to maintain cognitive transparency in wh...

FingerSight: A Vibrotactile Wearable Ring for Assistance With Locating and Reaching Objects in Peripersonal Space.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This paper describes a prototype guidance system, "FingerSight," to help people without vision locate and reach to objects in peripersonal space. It consists of four evenly spaced tactors embedded into a ring worn on the index finger, with a small ca...

Peripersonal Space and Margin of Safety around the Body: Learning Visuo-Tactile Associations in a Humanoid Robot with Artificial Skin.

PloS one
This paper investigates a biologically motivated model of peripersonal space through its implementation on a humanoid robot. Guided by the present understanding of the neurophysiology of the fronto-parietal system, we developed a computational model ...

Creating a place for caregivers in personal health: the iHealthSpace copilot program and diabetes care.

Journal of diabetes science and technology
BACKGROUND: As America's baby boom generation reaches retirement, the number of elders, and, in turn, the number of lay individuals who support them, will continue to increase. With the important services caregivers provide, it is critical that we re...

Rapid Recalibration of Peri-Personal Space: Psychophysical, Electrophysiological, and Neural Network Modeling Evidence.

Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991)
Interactions between individuals and the environment occur within the peri-personal space (PPS). The encoding of this space plastically adapts to bodily constraints and stimuli features. However, these remapping effects have not been demonstrated on ...
