Research project
Sonzai-Kan and Cognition (Behavior Monitoring Interpretation for Interaction Design) – project in collaboration with Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone – INT (AMU/CNRS)
Project summary
My unique background of the understanding of the mechanism of Sonzai-Kan (Presence Effect of the contemporary interrelationship between robots and humans) will be helpful to build upon and go beyond the insights gained from analysing the existing data. My long-term plan is to be able to give to these previous consistent experiments a new theoretical framework, and to establish the study of the Presence Effect (the minimum perceptual activity in the situated interaction, integrity of the reference posture, embodiment as a paradigm of identity, signs of connection, realignment operations, gestures resulting from stress, pacifying gestures and triggers and layering of these gestures) as a segment of cognitive studies within telecommunication science in the West. Also, by being actively engaged in new practical experiments, I hope to promote the application of the research results in connection with the Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone.
