This paper explores how a robot’s physical presence affects human judgments of the robot
as a social partner. For this experiment, participants collaborated on simple book-moving …

The faces we encounter throughout our lives make different impressions on us: Some are
remembered at first glance, while others are forgotten. Previous work has found that the …

This study explores how a robotpsilas physical or virtual presence affects unconscious
human perception of the robot as a social partner. Subjects collaborated on simple book-moving …

During memory recall and visual imagery, reinstatement is thought to occur as an echoing of
the neural patterns during encoding. However, the precise information in these recall traces …

A long-standing question in neuroscience is how perceptual processes select stimuli for
encoding and later retrieval by memory processes. Using a functional magnetic resonance …
