The effect of avatar identity on spontaneous perspective-taking in patients with schizophrenia.

Controversy exists regarding whether the spontaneity of altercentric intrusion is impaired in patients with schizophrenia during implicit visual perspective-taking tasks. This study explored the characteristics of spontaneous visual perspective-taking in patients with schizophrenia and the effect of an avatar identity on their perspective-taking. We recruited 65 patients with schizophrenia and 65 healthy participants to complete 4 visual perspective-taking experiments for uncued other-avatar and self-avatar tasks and cued other-avatar and self-avatar tasks.

Modulation of interface structure on titanium-based metal-organic frameworks heterojunctions for boosting photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction.

Rational regulation of interface structure in photocatalysts is a promising strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance of carbon dioxide (CO) reduction. However, it remains a challenge to modulate the interface structure of multi-component heterojunctions. Herein, a strategy integrating heterojunction with facet engineering is developed to modulate the interface structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-based heterojunctions.
