Imaging Real-Time Tactile Interaction With Two-Person Dual-Coil fMRI
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020 Studies of brain mechanisms supporting social interaction are demanding because real interaction only occurs when persons are in contact. Instead, most brain imaging studies scan subjects individually.

Separate areas for mirror responses and agency within the parietal operculum [PDF]
, 2008 There is common neural activity in parietal and premotor cortex when executing and observing goal-directed movements: the “mirror” response. In addition, active and passive limb movements cause overlapping activity in premotor and somatosensory cortex ...

A Tactile Virtual Reality for the Study of Active Somatosensation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Natural exploration of textures involves active sensing, i.e., voluntary movements of tactile sensors (e.g., human fingertips or rodent whiskers) across a target surface.

Contrasting action and posture coding with hierarchical deep neural network models of proprioception
eLife, 2023 Biological motor control is versatile, efficient, and depends on proprioceptive feedback. Muscles are flexible and undergo continuous changes, requiring distributed adaptive control mechanisms that continuously account for the body’s state. The canonical

Sensory Electrical Stimulation Improves Foot Placement during Targeted Stepping Post-Stroke [PDF]
, 2014 Proper foot placement is vital for maintaining balance during walking, requiring the integration of multiple sensory signals with motor commands. Disruption of brain structures post-stroke likely alters the processing of sensory information by motor ...

Shared Patterns of Brain Functional Connectivity for the Comorbidity between Migraine and Insomnia
Biomedicines, 2021 Migraine is commonly comorbid with insomnia; both disorders are linked to functional disturbance of the default mode network (DMN). Evidence suggests that DMN could be segregated into multiple subnetworks with specific roles that underline different ...

Differential postural effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research (2008) 1-31, 2008 The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions. To address this objective, young male university students were asked to stand upright as still as possible with their eyes closed in two ...

Optimizing Movement Performance with Altered Sensation: An Examination of Multisensory Inputs
Brain Sciences, 2023 Two experiments were conducted to assess the impact of induced paresthesia on movement parameters of goal-directed aiming movements to determine how visual and auditory feedback may enhance performance when somatosensory feedback is disrupted.
