  2. 16. Neuromechanical basis of airflow-dependent antennal positioning in hawkmoths

    Author : Dinesh Natesan; Örjan Ekeberg; Sanjay P. Sane; Volker Dürr; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insect antennae; antennal positioning; antennal hair plates; Böhm’s bristles; Johnston’s organs; control theory; hierarchical neural circuits; tuneable feedback loop; flexible reflexes; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Fast behaviors, seen in varied life forms, are often considered to be stereotypic and reflexive and the control neural circuits to be hard-wired. However, many such reflexes have been shown to respond in a context-dependent manner. READ MORE

  4. 17. Losing control and developing concerns : The complexities of ageing postural control and fall-related concerns

    Author : Mascha Pauelsen; Lars Nyberg; Ulrik Röijezon; Irene Vikman; Jorunn Lægdheim Helbostad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ageing; postural balance; postural control; sensory and motor systems; fall-related concerns; fear of falling; neurological models; Physiotherapy; Fysioterapi;

    Abstract : With the world population shifting its proportions towards higher ages, it is imperative to increase healthspan rather than lifespan, both for the sakes of community sustainability as well as individual quality of life. One of the main means to obtain healthy ageing, is a concept called active ageing, as activity has shown to slow down the natural ageing process. READ MORE

  5. 18. NO PAIN, STILL GAIN- cross-modality development learning guided by spinal spontaneous activity

    Author : Alexandra Waldenström Ellervik; Neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; development; spinal cord; activity-dependent learning and memory; pain; somatosensory; neurophysiology;

    Abstract : Recent studies indicate that experience dependent mechanisms shape the pain system during the development. In view of that painful stimuli are rare during development it is not clear how this is accomplished. READ MORE

  6. 19. The neurocognitive basis of confabulatory introspection : Choice blindness and the brain

    Author : Gabriel Vogel; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Confabulation; introspection; fMRI; sense of agency; decision; self-knowledge; metacognition; cognitive neuroscience;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis is to advance our understanding of introspection by studying when it fails, without us being aware of it. To do so, I have used the choice blindness paradigm. READ MORE

  7. 20. A Possible World: Autism from Practice to Theory

    Author : Petra Zücker Björne; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychopedagogy; Utvecklingspsykologi; Development psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; pedagogical intervention; categorization; context; sensorimotor disturbances; autism; developmental theory; Pedagogisk psykologi;

    Abstract : Persons with autism develop along trajectories that differ from the typical. Therefore, development itself gives important clues for understanding the behavioral profile characteristic of autism. Developing autism means being different, not necessarily being deficient. READ MORE
