• Reduced Sense of Agency in Human-Robot interaction 

  Ciardo, F; De Tommaso, T; BEYER, F; Wykowska, A (Springer Verlag, 2018)

  Certain individuals during deep meditative states can transmitt and give out an aura or ‘light, which is perceived by others through some unknown connections, visual, telepathic or other. Despite various anecdotal, historical ...

• Spontaneous Visual Imagery During Meditation for Creating Visual Art: An EEG and Brain Stimulation Case Study 

  LUFT, CDB; ZIOGA, I; Banissy, MJ; BHATTACHARYA, J (Frontiers Media, 2019-02-22)

  Experienced meditators often report spontaneous visual imagery during deep meditation in the form of lights or other types of visual images. These experiences are usually interpreted as an “encounters with light” and gain ...

• COD/sulfate ratio does not affect the methane yield and microbial diversity in anaerobic digesters 

  EYICE, O; Cetecioglu, Z; Dolfing, J; Taylor, J; Purdy, KJ (Elsevier, 2019-03-04)

  Anaerobic digestion of organic matter is the major route of biomethane production. However, in the presence of sulfate, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) typically outcompete methanogens, which may reduce or even preclude ...

• Bayesian estimation of species divergence times using correlated quantitative characters 

  Álvarez-Carretero, S; Goswami, A; Yang, Z; dos Reis, M (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-02)

  Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we implement a Bayesian method to estimate species ...

• Neuropeptide signalling in echinoderms: from “physiologic activity of nerve extracts” to neuropeptidomics and beyond 

  ELPHICK, MR (Apple Academic Press (AAP), 2019-12)

  An abstract with a mysteriously vague title U “Physiologic activity of nerve extracts” U was published in 1959 on pages 407 and 408 of volume 117 of The$Biological$Bulletin (Chaet and McConnaughy, 1959). The authors of ...

• Assumptions about the positioning of virtual stimuli affect gaze direction estimates during Augmented Reality based interactions
