Staying in Touch while on the Go
While chemical forms of cell-to-cell communication are well recognized to coordinate bacterial populations, electrical signaling has been relatively ignored. Humphries et al. show that Bacillus subtilis biofilms utilize potassium production to attract far away, motile cells of even phylogenetically distant species by altering their membrane potential.
متن کاملRobots in Crowds — Being Useful While Staying Out of Trouble
In this paper we are considering an autonomous robot moving purposefully in a crowd of people (a marketplace). The robot should take into consideration the social costs of its movement, expressed in terms of violation of the personal space of the humans, blocking their path or even making physical contact with them. On the other hand, the full avoidance of any social cost might jeopardize the m...
متن کاملReach Out and Touch Someone: Anticipatory Sensorimotor Processes of Active Interpersonal Touch
Anticipating the sensorimotor consequences of an action for both self and other is fundamental for action coordination when individuals socially interact. Somatosensation constitutes an elementary component of social cognition and sensorimotor prediction, but its functions in active social behavior remain unclear. We hypothesized that the somatosensory system contributes to social haptic behavi...
متن کاملOut of Touch? Visual Load Induces Inattentional Numbness
It is now well known that the absence of attention can leave people unaware of both visual and auditory stimuli (e.g., Dalton & Fraenkel, 2012; Mack & Rock, 1998). However, the possibility of similar effects within the tactile domain has received much less research. Here, we introduce a new tactile inattention paradigm and use it to test whether tactile awareness depends on the level of percept...
متن کاملStaying “In Sync” and “In Touch”: Two Challenges for Mobile Workers
This paper documents a study into the challenges for mobile workers. The main goals of the study were, firstly, to identify the consequences and challenges of mobile work – particularly with respect one’s ability to stay up-to-date (“in sync”) and connected (“in touch”) with his or her distant colleagues; and secondly, to define guidelines to help target the design of potential solutions capabl...
