Symptoms and the body: Taking the inferential leap
2017
The relationship between the conscious experience of physical symptoms and indicators of objective physiological dysfunction is highly variable and depends on characteristics of the person, the context and their interaction. This relationship often breaks down entirely in the case of "medically unexplained" or functional somatic symptoms, violating the basic assumption in medicine that physical symptoms have physiological causes. In this paper, we describe the prevailing theoretical approach to this problem and review the evidence pertaining to it. We then use the framework of predictive coding to propose a new and more comprehensive model of the body-symptom relationship that integrates ex…
Summary, Conclusions, and Future Work
2011
In the present work, we addressed two research questions: (1) How does the complexity of a choice task influence decision-making behavior? (2) How can we consider knowledge about decision-making behavior for the design of IIMT? By answering the first research question, we contributed to current theory on decision-making behavior, while the main contribution of addressing the second research question is the development of INTACMATO, an IIMT-prototype for supporting choice decisions.
