OBJECTIVES The role of injury-related variables in determining health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Iranian persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) has not yet been fully described. In this study, we compared HRQOL between individuals with injury at cervical level and those with injury at thoracolumbar sections and evaluated the discriminating value of injury level as a determinant of HRQ...

Some chronic pain patients and healthy individuals experience pain when observing injury or others in pain. To further understand shared pain, we investigated perspective taking, bodily ownership and tooth pain sensitivity. First, participants who reported shared pain (responders) and those who did not (non-responders) viewed an avatar on a screen. Intermittently, 0-3 circles appeared. Sometime...

This chapter focuses on the why, what, and how of bodily expression analysis for automatic affect recognition. It first asks the question of ‘why bodily expression?’ and attempts to find answers by reviewing the latest bodily expression perception literature. The chapter then turns its attention to the question of ‘what are the bodily expressions recognized automatically?’ by providing an overv...

Many research reports have concluded that emotional information can be processed without observers being aware of it. The case for perception without awareness has almost always been made with the use of facial expressions. In view of the similarities between facial and bodily expressions for rapid perception and communication of emotional signals, we conjectured that perception of bodily expre...

Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On the basis of these clinical data, we designed an experiment that uses conflicting visual-somatosensory input in virtual reality to disrupt t...

This paper explores the physical kinetic interaction of a shape-changing interface (SCI) for the enrichment of bodily activity in a therapeutic context. In recent years, the use of human bodily movement as a major modality for a game interface has been explored in the field of interaction design, even in a therapeutic context. Previously, we developed MoleBot [2], a SCI based on an XY stage sys...
