The Cybernetic Humanity Studio Open Lab was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who joined the Transboundary Workshop on Human Augmentation We had great talks from Prof. Yuichi Kurita (Hiroshima University) Prof. Pedro Lopes (University of Chicago) and Prof. Hirokazu Shirado (Carnegie Mellon University), and closing remarks by Prof. Tom Froese (OIST) with very…

Our paper “Investigating the impact of motion visual synchrony on self-face recognition using real-time morphing” was published in Scientific Reports. To what extent is my face still mine? We investigated facial self-recognition through visuomotor sync with a new method to separate facial movements and facial identity. Project page: Face boundary in action

I joined the ICRA 2024 workshop, “The robotics, psychology and neuroscience of body augmentation,” and gave a talk.

I joined the IIT workshop: sense of agency: Theory, Measurement and Applications in Human Robot Interaction at IIT: Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.

Adrien Verhulst, Yasuko Namikawa, Shunichi Kasahara presented our poster “Investigating view direction and perspective cues with varying perturbation profiles in dual visuomotor adaptations” at the Society for the Neural Control of Movement (NCM) 33rd Annual Meeting. the Society for the Neural Control of Movement (NCM) 33rd Annual Meeting.

The blog post, titled “Unveiling the Illusion: Self-Other Identity with Facial Morphing,” provides an in-depth look at the innovative experimental approach used by the researchers. By utilizing state-of-the-art facial morphing technology, the study sheds light on the dynamic process of face recognition and the underlying mechanisms that contribute to our sense of self.

At the 87th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Psychological Association, a team of researchers received the Special Prize for Outstanding Presentation for their work on how monkeys perceive their virtual reality body image as their own through training. The team, consisting of Shinya Nakamura, Taro Takane, Daisuke Tajima, Hiroki Uchida, Kenichiro Tsutsui, and Shunichi Kasahara,…
