Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Heat tolerance is known to be limited by high brain temperature, but most findings pertain to strenuous exercise following artificially altered baseline temperature or with limited opportunity for behaviour. Therefore, we investigated the hypotheses that thermal perceptions, hyperventilation and cerebrovascular responses would be exacerbated ...

Distinctive neurophysiological correlates of sound onset and offset perception in humans
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings were obtained from participants listening to successive pairs of 1‐2 s noises in a silent background (Study 1) or successive pairs 1‐2 s silent gaps in a noise background (Study 2). Participants heard the same stimuli in the context of either a duration discrimination task (identifying ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend We delivered trains of brief mechanical pulses to the fingertips of subjects to investigate vibrotactile intensity perception. Some stimuli consisted of bursts of up to four pulses. Simulated responses of the tactile afferent population across the hand revealed that afferents innervating the skin directly under the probe reliably

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Human skin contains several classes of mechanoreceptive afferents that encode mechanical stimulation. For example, C‑tactile (CT) afferents are suggested to signal the pleasant aspects of gentle touch and are activated effectively by slow brushing of hairy skin.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Acute itch was experimentally induced using histamine and cowage in control participants (with no neuronopathy) and in IW, a participant with a large‐fibre sensory neuronopathy resulting in the loss of Aβ afferent function below C3, at the same time as largely preserving Aδ and C‐fibre function.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).

Inverse optimal control for continuous psychophysics with R and C++
Code to apply Inverse Optimal Control for Continuous Psychophysics using R together with C++ for computational efficiency. While the foundational implementation by Straub & Rothkopf (2022) was written in Python, the present project provides an ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Mechanoreceptors in the fingertip skin allow us to explore objects and to feel a vast range of textures. We recorded responses from individual low‐threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in humans while dynamic stimuli were swept across their receptive fields, systematically varying force, velocity and spatial period.
