VIOLATION OF IDENTITY-SPECIFIC ACTION-EFFECT PREDICTION INCREASES PUPIL SIZE AND ATTENUATES AUDITORY EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS AT P2 LATENCIES WHEN ACTION-EFFECTS ARE BEHAVIORALLY RELEVANT

Self-initiated sensory action effects are widely assumed to lead to less intense perception and reduced neural responses compared to externally triggered stimuli (sensory attenuation).However, it is unclear if sensory attenuation occurs in all cases of action-effect prediction.Specifically, when predicted action-effects are relevant to determine fo

In this paper the results of a project funded by Regione Toscana aimed at reducing the PPE Supplies power absorption of auxiliary devices in vehicles are presented.In particular the design, testing and application of a magnetorheological clutch (MR) is proposed, aimed at disengaging the vacuum pump, which draws in air from the power-brake booster c

Abstract One of the two X-chromosomes in female mammals is epigenetically silenced in embryonic stem cells by X-chromosome inactivation.This creates a mosaic of cells expressing either the maternal or the paternal X allele.The X-chromosome inactivation ratio, the proportion of inactivated parental alleles, varies widely among individuals, represent

The emergence of COVID-19 has displayed the importance of immunization and the need for continued public investment in vaccination programs.Globally, national vaccination programs rely heavily on tax-financed expenditure, requiring upfront investments and ongoing financial commitments.To evaluate annual public investments, we conducted a fiscal ana

While electromagnetic forming of aluminum alloy sheet has gained several advantages, the uneven radial deformation of the sheet is still one of the main drawback of this technology CREAMY CLAY that calls for reliable and cost-effective solution.Aiming at this point, this paper presents an electromagnetic bulging system equipped with a new magnetic
