DESCRIPTION:Daniel Bisig\, Olaf Blanke\, Bruno Herbelin\, Oliver Kannape\,
  Jan Schacher\, Simon Schaerlaeken.\nA swipe of the arm. A faint touch. Wh
 o was that? Is that? By enabling visitors to experience the unusual sensat
 ions provoked by bodily illusions\, this artistic work explores the delica
 te boundary between our seemingly stable percept of an embodied self\, and
  a self that is disrupted by technology. The installation is equally inspi
 red by clinical observations of disembodiment\, presence hallucinations\, 
 and other altered states of consciousness – and experimental neuroscient
 ific investigations using virtual reality and robotics bringing to surface
  the fundamental brain mechanisms underlying bodily self-consciousness.\n\
 nThe ImmersiveLab is an interactive multisensory space for artistic and sc
 ientific exploration developed by Daniel Bisig and Jan Schacher\, from the
  Institute of Computer Music and Sound Technology at the Zurich University
  of the Arts. The installation "Multiple Bodies\, Super Egos & Virtual Sel
 ves" was made in collaboration with the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscien
 ce of Prof. Olaf Blanke and with the support of the Swiss National Science
  Foundation. It will be presented to the public during the EPFL 50th Anniv
 ersary Open Doors on Sept 14-15\, at the STCC.\nTeam (alphabetical order):

  create their own piece!\n\n1) Presentations and discussions - September 1

  collaborative work between D.Bisig (ZHDK) and O.Blanke (EPFL)\, the works
