Digital soil mapping (DSM) is commonly conducted using input soil attributes derived from laboratory analyses of geographically referenced samples. Field observations are often abundant and can offer a dense source of soil data that has the potential to ...

Rubber Hands Feel the Touch of Light [PDF]
Two experiments involving a total of 220 subjects are reported. The experiments document that “stroking” a false hand with the bright beam of light from a laser pointer can produce tactile and thermal sensations when the hand can be seen as one's own. Overall, 66% of subjects reported somatic sensations from the light.

Rubber hands ‘feel’ touch that eyes see [PDF]
Illusions have historically been of great use to psychology for what they can reveal about perceptual processes. We report here an illusion in which tactile sensations are referred to an alien limb. The effect reveals a three-way interaction between vision, touch and proprioception, and may supply evidence concerning the basis of bodily self ...

Moving Hands Feel Stimuli Before Stationary Hands
AbstractIn the flash lag effect (FLE), a moving object is seen to be ahead of a brief flash that is presented at the same spatial location; a haptic analogue of the FLE has also been observed [1, 2]. Some accounts of the FLE relate the effect to temporal delays in the processing of the stationary stimulus as compared to that of the moving stimulus [3–5]

Improvement of Hand Feeling Properties of Fabrics Containing Recycled Fibers by Enzymatic Treatments
Clothing is one of the most basic needs for human survival. For this reason, the textile sector is one of the sectors with the highest consumption. However, the use of chemicals, water and natural resources in this large sector has increased to unbelievable levels.

Modifying Texture Perception With Pseudo-Haptic Feedback for a Projected Virtual Hand Interface
Human body augmentation makes it possible to obtain new abilities that we cannot achieve with our actual bodies. A projected virtual hand interface is a promising approach for body augmentation because it can extend a user's reach in daily life without ...

Due to cost constraints, field texture classes estimated by hand-feel by soil surveyors are more abundant than laboratory measurements of particle-size distribution. Thus, there is a considerable potential to use field-estimated soil textures for mapping on the condition that they are reliable and can be characterized by a probability distribution ...

A new method to evaluate the hand-feel potential of furnishes for tissue paper products [PDF]
The human perception of softness is an important yet complex property of hygiene tissue paper products. Softness is a function of the combination of machine technology, chemical additives, and furnish composition. As a result, it is difficult to investigate the influence of single parameters.
