Abstract Despite the persistence of violence inside and around prisons, dubious adequacy criminal law to respond victim–survivors, international human rights (IHR) discourse increasingly promotes mobilisation state’s penal apparatus violations, including against women (VAW). Using an anticolonial feminist approach, this article scrutinises ontological epistemological commitments underlying ‘hum...

Forty years ago (I'd say "Fifty" but I was still a kid in 1956) we all knew pretty much what 2006 would be like: We'd all have human-level robot servants like Robby (Forbidden Planet), and ubiquitous spoken access to super-human-level disembodied intelligences like the Star Trek Computer ("Working.") and HAL (minus the homicidal mania). The future sure isn't what it used to be! How could so man...

Self-processing has been related to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) as well as to their connectivity. So far, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), impressive transient deviations of intact bodily self-integration, could be associated with the TPJ, but the mediation by the frontal lobe, and thus fronto-parietal connectivity, is yet unknown. Thus, we assessed switch...

Most new digital musical interfaces have evolved upon the intuitive idea that there is a causality between sonic output and physical actions. Nevertheless, the advent of braincomputer interfaces (BCI) now allows us to directly access subjective mental states and express these in the physical world without bodily actions. In the context of an interactive and collaborative live performance, we pr...

We propose a new protocol of implementing continuous-variable quantum state transfer using partially disembodied transport. This protocol may improve the fidelity at the expense of the introduction of a semiquantum channel between the parties, in comparison with quantum teleportation using the same strength of entanglement. Depending on the amount of information destroyed in the measurement, th...

In our research, people use actions to expose hidden targets as planar images displayed either in situ or ex situ (displaced remotely). We show that because ex situ viewing impedes relating actions to their perceptual consequences, it impairs localizing targets, including compensating for surface deformation, and directing movement toward them. Using a 3D analogue of anorthoscopic perception, w...
