The Bayesian causal inference model benefits from an informed prior to predict proprioceptive drift in the rubber foot illusion
Bayesian cognitive modeling has become a prominent tool for the cognitive sciences aiming at a deeper understanding of the human mind and applications in cognitive systems, e.g., humanoid or wearable robotics. Such approaches can capture human behavior adequately with a focus on the crossmodal processing of sensory information. We investigate whether the Bayesian causal inference model can estimate the proprioceptive drift observed in empirical studies.

Efficacy of Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis: A Meta-Analysis
Background Physical therapy for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE) often comprises movement therapies, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ECSWT), low level laser therapy (LLLT), low frequency electrical stimulation or pulsed electromagnetic fields. Still, only ECSWT and LLLT have been meta-analytically researched. Methods PUBMED, EMBASE and Cochrane database were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methodological quality of each study was rated with an adapted version of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) checklist. Pain reduction (the difference between treatment and control groups at the end of trials) and pain relief (the change in pain from baseline to the end of trials) were calculated with mean differences (MD) and 95 %-Confidence intervals (95 % CI). Results One thousand one hundred thirty eight studies were identified. One thousand seventy of those did not meet inclusion criteria. After full articles were retrieved 16 studies met inclusion criteria and 12 studies reported comparable outcome variables. Analyses were conducted for overall pain relief, pain relief during maximum handgrip strength tests, and maximum handgrip strength. There were not enough studies to conduct an analysis of physical function or other outcome variables. Conclusions Differences between treatment and control groups were larger than differences between treatments. Control group gains were 50 to 66 % as high as treatment group gains. Still, only treatment groups with their combination of therapy specific and non-therapy specific factors reliably met criteria for clinical relevance. Results are discussed with respect to stability and their potential meaning for the use of non-therapy specific agents to optimize patients’ gain.
Evaluation of Online Consulting Using Co-browsing: What Factors Are Related to Good User Experience?
Technological advancements have changed many, if not all industries. This paper focuses on changes for service providers. Many services have been implemented without the knowledge about their effectiveness and user acceptance. This paper evaluates a web browser-based support framework for banks that provides customers with assistance through text chat and co-browsing.
Der Einsatz von Virtual Reality als «Blick in die Zukunft»: Von der Schmerzbehandlung und Prävention zur Zukunftsvision
Virtual Reality (VR) ist eine vom Computer generierte Wirklichkeit, die mittels Head-Mounted-Displays (Brillen mit integrierten Bildschirmen), Sensoren und Controllern versucht dem Menschen das Gefühl zu vermitteln, in diese andere Wirklichkeit einzutauchen. Dies kann erstaunliche Folgen haben, z. B. dass das empfundene Schmerzerlebnis beim Wechsel von Verbänden von Brandopfern reduziert wird. Kombiniert man VR mit Simulations- und Trainingsmethoden, stehen den heutigen KMUs damit ein mächtiges Werkzeug zur Verfügung, das in unterschiedlichen Cases angewendet werden können. Das Forum möchte hierzu eine Einführung und eine Übersicht bieten.
