Keynote Speakers

Henrik Ehrsson
Title: Multisensory mechanisms of body self-perception
Abstract. Ask any child if his hands belong to him and the answer will be "Of course!" However, how does the brain actually identify its own body? Henrik Ehrsson will describe how cognitive neuroscientists have recently begun to address this fundamental question. One key idea is that parts of the body are distinguished from the external world by the patterns of the correlated information they produce from different sensory modalities (vision, touch and muscle sense). It is hypothesized that these correlations are detected by neuronal populations in premotor and posterior parietal areas that integrate multisensory information from the space near the body. Dr. Ehrsson and his team have recently used a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging and human behavioral experiments to present experimental evidence that support these predictions. To change the feeling of body ownership, perceptual illusions were used so that healthy individuals experienced a simulated rubber hand as their own, that a mannequin was their body ("body-swap illusion"), or that they were outside their physical body and looking at it from the perspective of another individual ("out-of-body illusion"). By clarifying how the normal brain produces a sense of ownership of one's body, we can learn how to project ownership onto artificial bodies and simulated virtual ones, possibly even making two people have the experience of swapping bodies with one another. This could have important applications in the fields of virtual reality and neuroprosthetics.
Biographical Sketch. Henrik Ehrsson is a professor of cognitive neuroscience in the Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. He is interested in the problem of how we come to sense that we own our body. He considers the identification of multisensory mechanisms by which the central nervous system distinguishes between sensory signals from one's body and those from the environment as the key to solving this problem. Professor Ehrsson currently leads a team currently consisting of five PhD students, five postdocs and one research engineer (www.ehrssonlab.se). The main methods used in his laboratory include functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), behavioral paradigms, psychophysiology, virtual/video reality and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Ehrsson and his team members have published 55 original peer-reviewed scientific works, including several articles in top scientific journals such as Science, Neuron, PNAS, Current Biology, The Journal of Neuroscience and Brain.
James Ferwerda
Title: Tangible imaging systems
Abstract. We are developing tangible imaging systems that enable natural interaction with virtual objects. Tangible imaging systems are based on consumer mobile devices that incorporate electronic displays, graphics hardware, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and digital cameras, in laptop or tablet-shaped form-factors. Custom software allows the orientation of a device and the position of the observer to be tracked in real-time. Using this information, realistic images of three-dimensional objects with complex textures and material properties are rendered to the screen, and tilting or moving in front of the device produces realistic changes in surface lighting and material appearance. Tangible imaging systems thus allow virtual objects to be observed and manipulated as naturally as real ones with the added benefit that object properties can be modified under user control. In this talk I will describe four tangible imaging systems we have developed: the tangiBook - our first implementation on a laptop computer; tangiView - a more refined implementation on a tablet device; tangiPaint - a tangible digital painting application; and phantoView - an application that takes the tangible imaging concept into stereoscopic 3D.
Biographical Sketch. James A. Ferwerda is an Associate Professor and Xerox Chair in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He received a B.A. in Psychology, M.S. in Computer Graphics, and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology, all from Cornell University. The focus of his research is on building computational models of human vision from psychophysical experiments, and developing advanced imaging systems based on these models. He is an Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Applied Perception, and serves on the Program Committees of SPIE Human Vision and Electronic Imaging and Measuring, Modeling, and Reproducing Material Appearance. In 2003 he was selected by the National Academy of Engineering for the Frontiers of Engineering Program and in 2010 for the Keck Futures program.
