“Translation dictionaries, for example, suggest that the English word love can be equated with the Turkish word sevgi and the Hungarian word szerelem. But does this mean that the concept of “love” is the same in English, Turkish, and Hungarian?”
It was so nice to end the year with a little celebration of our book together with other authors (former members of my team) who came to Genova for a little symposium and get-together. And this allowed former members to meet with present members of the @S4HRI_iit team 😊
#Humanoids2024 begins tomorrow, and we’re excited to be part of it! Drop by our booth where we will showcase our ongoing clinical activities, including RONIN project, which focuses on robot-assisted training for adolescents with developmental disabilities

My paper proposing that we develop self-representation in a series of discontinuous developmental steps, based on ideas from Bayes and Susan Carey is out in Front in Hum Nsci

Really cool study on human-robot emotional interactions.

1/ Our new paper in which we looked at subjective and objective performance when teleoperating a semi-autonomous robot.

Similarly, AN patients’ body awareness improved when watching others’ faces over their own:

Like Girard’s mimetic theory, a reduced sense of self paired with heightened response to other “bodies” might sustain anorexia in a loop of imitation and rivalry
1. In one interesting, controversial and yet little-known essay, René Girard applies his theory to an understanding of the phenomenon of eating disorders: ‘Anorexia and Mimetic Desire’ (2013, from a 1996 lecture). A thread.
🚀 NEW PAPER OUT on @SciRobotics!
How can robotics deepen our understanding of the sense of self?
The review paper explores how robotics can advance our understanding of selfhood by constructing embodied models and using robots as experimental tools.

Very proud to share our newest off-the press paper published in Science Robotics, where we argue that robots can help us understand the sense of self 🙂

@LeahBanellis Yes, definitely. The problem is that these practices are sometimes portrayed as one-size-fits-all “solutions” which can overlook individual differences
Amazing study! On a related note, findings on the link between body-wandering and negative thoughts made me think (and convinced) that mindfulness meditation focused on bodily sensations might do more harm than good for those with anxiety.
What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: https://t.co/wepZGVCMXl
Human culture will be affected by LLMs. Here’s my paper on how to assess the cultural imaginary in humans and machines.
I present an experimental paradigm that compares how humans and LLMs write stories to the exact same prompt.
The paper shows how humanities, and specifically literary studies, combined with experimental and computational approaches, offer answers to pressing questions about human culture in the age of LLMs.
Now published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.
