Rubber hand illusion highlights massive visual capture and sensorimotor face-hand remapping in a tetraplegic man (2014)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Grisoni, L., Liuzza, M. T., & Aglioti, S. M. (2014). Rubber hand illusion highlights massive visual capture and sensorimotor face-hand remapping in a tetraplegic man. Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience, 32(5), 611-622. https://doi.org/10.3233/RNN-130385

Purpose: The illusory ownership of a fake hand as part the body follows synchronous tactile stimulation over a visible rubber hand and a covered hand. Whether brain plasticity mechanisms after sensory and motor disconnection modulates this illusion r...

On Mean Outer Radii of Random Polytopes (2014)
Journal Article
Alonso-Gutiérrez, D., Dafnis, N., Cifre, M. Á. H., & Prochno, J. (2014). On Mean Outer Radii of Random Polytopes. Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 63(2), 579-595

In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities for random polytopes. Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,...,X_N\}$ be a random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body K of $\R^n$. We prove that the...
