Neuromorphic Vibrotactile Stimulation of Fingertips for Encoding Object Stiffness in Telepresence Sensory Substitution and Augmentation Applications

open access: yesSensors, 2018
We present a tactile telepresence system for real-time transmission of information about object stiffness to the human fingertips. Experimental tests were performed across two laboratories (Italy and Ireland).

Sensory substitution and augmentation techniques in cerebral visual impairment: a discussion of lived experiences

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
Pediatric vision loss due to cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is an urgent public health issue, demanding evidence-based (re)habilitation and educational strategies. As with other neurodiverse populations, research on CVI needs to be directly informed by

Haptic wearables as sensory replacement, sensory augmentation and trainer - a review. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neuroeng Rehabil, 2015
Sensory impairments decrease quality of life and can slow or hinder rehabilitation. Small, computationally powerful electronics have enabled the recent development of wearable systems aimed to improve function for individuals with sensory impairments. The purpose of this review is to synthesize current haptic wearable research for clinical applications

Less Vibrotactile Feedback Is Effective to Improve Human Balance Control during Sensory Cues Alteration

open access: yesSensors, 2022
For individuals with altered sensory cues, vibrotactile feedback improves their balance control. However, should vibrotactile feedback be provided every time balance control is compromised, or only one-third of the time their balance is compromised?

Sensory augmentation for a rapid motor task in a multisensory environment. [PDF]

open access: yesRestor Neurol Neurosci
Background: Sensory substitution and augmentation systems (SSASy) seek to either replace or enhance existing sensory skills by providing a new route to access information about the world. Tests of such systems have largely been limited to untimed, unisensory tasks.

Sensory Augmentation Using Subdermal Haptic Feedback

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2022
The goal of this study is to introduce an implantable haptic feedback device that allows a user to obtain better interactions and feedback from various sensory modules. A thorough analysis of the design of the sensor is provided in this work.

The Architectural Model as Augmenting a Sensory Ethnography

open access: yesThe Design Journal, 2021
This study explores the effectiveness of the architectural model as a means of implementing a sensory ethnographical research methodology. An architectural model, constructed as part of a wider design research approach, became the visual probe in a site-specific participatory ‘place-event’ with field experts.

Vibrotactile Perception for Sensorimotor Augmentation: Perceptual Discrimination of Vibrotactile Stimuli Induced by Low-Cost Eccentric Rotating Mass Motors at Different Body Locations in Young, Middle-Aged, and Older Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022
Sensory augmentation technologies are being developed to convey useful supplemental sensory cues to people in comfortable, unobtrusive ways for the purpose of improving the ongoing control of volitional movement.

Effects of Concurrent and Terminal Visual Feedback on Ankle Co-Contraction in Older Adults during Standing Balance

open access: yesSensors, 2021
This preliminary investigation studied the effects of concurrent and terminal visual feedback during a standing balance task on ankle co-contraction, which was accomplished via surface electromyography of an agonist–antagonist muscle pair (medial ...
