Experimental review of diffractive phenomena

The diffractive interaction is a feature of hadron-hadron scattering at high energy corresponding to a t-channel exchange of the vacuum quantum numbers and a small momentum transfer. It has been has been described, in the past, in the framework of Regge theory, where the exchange was interpreted as the Pomeron (IP ) trajectory, characterized by a weak energy dependence, in particular, with resp...

A Contribution to Cognitive Modeling of Affective Phenomena

It is becoming a generally shared opinion that personality affects Human-Computer interaction in the two directions. On one side, computers show a personality in their style of communication, which is perceived by the users and can influence their usability according to whether it is similar or complementary to the user personality. On the other side, it has been shown that ‘even the most super...

Transient sensory, cognitive and affective phenomena in affective illness. A comparison with complex partial epilepsy.

Behavioural changes have often been noted in patients with epilepsy. This study investigated the converse phenomenon--the occurrence of transient sensory, cognitive and affective changes resembling those described by epileptics, in affectively ill patients. Forty-four patients with affective illness, 37 with complex partial seizures, and 30 hypertensive controls were interviewed to determine th...

The demystification of autoscopic phenomena: experimental propositions.

Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are rare, illusory visual experiences during which the subject has the impression of seeing a second own body in extrapersonal space. AP consist of out-of-body experience, autoscopic hallucination, and heautoscopy. Recent neurologic reports support the role of multisensory integration deficits of body-related information and vestibular dysfunctions in AP at the temporo...
