Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Each subsection describes a particular problem or approach with the goal of highlighting, in the conclusion and by way of the networked approach of the platform, the links between the cognitive neuroscientific discipline and genres of theory as they come to bear on the tactile modality and virtual reality.
The sections listed below, which are nonlinear and categorized by the questions under consideration, meditate on selfhood, haptic engagement, and the experience of virtual reality.
