Better safe than sorry? The safety margin surrounding the body is increased by anxiety.
The defensive peripersonal space represents a "safety margin" advantageous for survival. Its spatial extension and the possible relationship with personality traits have never been investigated. Here, in a population of 15 healthy human participants, we show that the defensive peripersonal space has a sharp boundary, located between 20 and 40 cm from the face, and that within such space there i...

However, the general public, donors, and policy makers will understand the implications...

The design, maintenance, reuse, and integration of ontologies are complex tasks. Like software engineers, ontology engineers need to be supported by tools and methodologies that help them to minimize the introduction of errors, i.e., to ensure that ontologies are consistent and do not have unexpected consequences. In order to develop this support, important notions from software engineering, su...

After spending many years as an anaesthesiologist and taking care (hands on) of patients, including neonates and patients up to 106 yr old, using all t...
متن کاملBetter safe than sorry: Risky function exploitation through safe optimization
Exploration-exploitation of functions, that is learning and optimizing a mapping between inputs and expected outputs, is ubiquitous to many real world situations. These situations sometimes require us to avoid certain outcomes at all cost, for example because they are poisonous, harmful, or otherwise dangerous. We test participants’ behavior in scenarios in which they have to find the optimum o...
