Preattentive detection of rare audiovisual feature conjunctions by the human brain as reflected by the mismatch negativity

Embodied graffiti and street art research
2021
Graffiti and street art research (GSAR) has become more acknowledged within the academic discourse; however, it has much to gain from theorising its methodological aspects. As a multidisciplinary field, GSAR has mostly used qualitative research methods, exploring urban space through methods that range from visual recordings to ethnography, emphasising the researchers’ reflexivity. This qualitative approach has, however, paid little attention to the role of embodied practices. In this paper we discuss how embodied methodologies provide multisensory research results where the experienced moments, the participant’s and researcher’s senses, cognition and mobility in urban spaces are connected.…
Somatosensory Deviance Detection ERPs and Their Relationship to Analogous Auditory ERPs and Interoceptive Accuracy
2022
Abstract. Automatic deviance detection has been widely explored in terms of mismatch responses (mismatch negativity or mismatch response) and P3a components of event-related potentials (ERPs) under a predictive coding framework; however, the somatosensory mismatch response has been investigated less often regarding the different types of changes than its auditory counterpart. It is not known whether the deviance detection responses from different modalities correlate, reflecting a general prediction error mechanism of the central nervous system. Furthermore, interoceptive functions have been associated with predictive coding theory, but whether interoceptive accuracy correlates with devian…
Making Sense of Senses. Interview with Dorothy Noyes
2010
I interviewed Dorothy Noyes, Director of the Center for Folklore Studies, and As- sociate Professor of English, Comparative Studies, and Anthropology Ohio State University, Columbus (United States). Currently, her research interests involve the collective representations of plural societies, the social organization of vernacular creativity, and the history of international cultural regimes. Her primary fieldwork is in Catalonia, Spain, where she has studied the politics of local festivities. It was her book Fire in the Plaça (2003) that put some questions to my head about senses and encouraged me to get engaged with sensual experiences of ethnographic fieldwork. nonPeerReviewed
Embodied adventures : An experiment on doing and writing multisensory ethnography
2020
Sensory ethnography is a reflexive and experiential process, in which the role of the researcher as embodied subject is crucial. It is based on the idea that all human beings are connected to materiality and the physical environment through their sensing bodies. At the core of sensory ethnography are sensory experiences (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch), and their role in social practices and relations. By studying sensory experiences, one can find nonverbal and seemingly meaningless and self-evident information that affects our everyday life and practices. Although sensory and embodied dimensions are often acknowledged as part of ethnographic knowledge production, textbooks about et…
Event-related brain potential markers of visual and auditory perception: A useful tool for brain computer interface systems.
2022
ObjectiveA majority of BCI systems, enabling communication with patients with locked-in syndrome, are based on electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency analysis (e.g., linked to motor imagery) or P300 detection. Only recently, the use of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) has received much attention, especially for face or music recognition, but neuro-engineering research into this new approach has not been carried out yet. The aim of this study was to provide a variety of reliable ERP markers of visual and auditory perception for the development of new and more complex mind-reading systems for reconstructing the mental content from brain activity.MethodsA total of 30 participants were shown…
Elämää ja aistimuksia vanhassa hirsitalossa : kokemuksellinen näkökulma eräästä asuintavasta
2013
Pro gradu -tutkielmassani tutkin vanhojen hirsitalojen voimakkaan aistimaailman vaikutusta asukkaan ja hänen kotinsa suhteessa. En keskity analyysissani aistimiseen ruumiillisena kokemuksena, vaan painotan aistimusten merkityksellisyyttä. Kiinnitän huomioni etenkin vanhojen hirsitalojen funktionaalisiin rajoitteisiin sekä historian merkkeihin. Tutkielmani liittyy pitkään monitieteiseen rakennustutkimuksen tutkimusperinteeseen. Tutkimusmetodini on etnografinen. Lisäksi hyödynnän fenomenologista filosofian perinnettä innoittajana tutkimuskysymysten suhteen, mutta myös analyyttisena työkaluna. Aineistonani käytän tutkielmassani seitsemää haastattelua, joihin on minun lisäkseni ottanut osaa yhd…
Ikääntymisen vaikutus näköön ja kuuloon : aistitoimintojen heikentymisen tunnistaminen ja arviointi sekä ikääntyneen tukeminen
2010
Ikääntyneiden näön ja kuulon ongelmat heikentävät toimintakykyä, lisäävät masennuksen riskiä ja altistavat laitoshoitoon joutumiselle. Kaihin, glaukooman ja silmänpohjan ikärappeuman esiintyvyys lisääntyy ikääntyessä. Kuulo-ongelmia on 33%:lla yli 75 vuotiaista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa avo- ja laitoshoidossa vanhustyötä tekevien hoitajien tietoja ikääntyneen näön ja kuulon heikentyessä. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin mitä hoitajat tiesivät näkö- ja kuulovaikeuksien syistä ja ikääntymiseen liittyvistä sairauksista. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin myös mitä keinoja hoitajat käyttivät ikääntyneen näön ja kuulon heikentymisen tunnistamiseen ja arviointiin sekä miten hoitajat tukiv…
A sense of spacing: Toward a diffractive reading of organizational space
2022
This article explores how a diffractive methodology can enrich research on organizational space and the senses. Through the creation of interferences, a diffractive methodology directs attention to how differences in sensing are created in the ongoing production of space and what the effects of these are. By using examples from an ethnographic study of the Hub, a university-based entrepreneurship space designed to invoke positive “buzz”, the article illustrates how a diffractive methodology allows for the exploration of the sensory design of space and how it governs the possibilities of sensing among participants. The article contributes to organizational research by demonstrating how a di…
