Sensory Augmentation: Toward a Dialogue Between the Arts and Sciences [PDF]

, 2018
People sense the world by exploiting correlations between their physical actions and the changing sensory input that results from those actions. Interfaces that translate non-human sensor data to signals that are compatible with the human senses can therefore augment our abilities to make sense of the world.

Sensory-motor augmentation of the robot with shared human perception [PDF]

2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018
Robots have replaced people in many manufacturing production lines but the information they gather from sensors might not be sufficient to autonomously accomplish dexterous manipulation operations. Symbiotic human-robot cooperation appears to be a more realistic near future in industrial scenarios.

Using a Vibrotactile Biofeedback Device to Augment Foot Pressure During Walking in Healthy Older Adults: A Brief Report

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Human movement based on sensory control is significant to motor task performance. Thus, impairments to sensory input significantly limit feedback-type motor control.

Training augmentation using additive sensory noise in a lunar rover navigation task

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundThe uncertain environments of future space missions means that astronauts will need to acquire new skills rapidly; thus, a non-invasive method to enhance learning of complex tasks is desirable.

Recognition of Tactile Facial Action Units by Individuals Who Are Blind and Sighted: A Comparative Study

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2019
Given that most cues exchanged during a social interaction are nonverbal (e.g., facial expressions, hand gestures, body language), individuals who are blind are at a social disadvantage compared to their sighted peers.

Supplemental vibrotactile feedback control of stabilization and reaching actions of the arm using limb state and position error encodings

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2017
Background Deficits of kinesthesia (limb position and movement sensation) commonly limit sensorimotor function and its recovery after neuromotor injury.

Sensory Augmentation with Distal Touch: The Tactile Helmet Project [PDF]

, 2013
The Tactile Helmet is designed to augment a wearer's senses with a long range sense of touch. Tactile specialist animals such as rats and mice are capable of rapidly acquiring detailed information about their environment from their whiskers by using task-sensitive strategies.

Exploring the Potentials of Wearable Technologies in Managing Vestibular Hypofunction

Bioengineering
The vestibular system is dedicated to gaze stabilization, postural balance, and spatial orientation; this makes vestibular function crucial for our ability to interact effectively with our environment.

Regulation of the Spontaneous Augmentation of NaV1.9 in Mouse Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons: Effect of PKA and PKC Pathways

Marine Drugs, 2010
Sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion express two kinds of tetrodotoxin resistant (TTX-R) isoforms of voltage-gated sodium channels, NaV1.8 and NaV1.9. These isoforms play key roles in the pathophysiology of chronic pain.
