Peripheral neurostimulation for encoding artificial somatosensations
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2022 Abstract The direct neural stimulation of peripheral or central nervous systems has been shown as an effective tool to treat neurological conditions. The electrical activation of the nervous sensory pathway can be adopted to restore the artificial sense of touch and proprioception in people suffering from sensory‐motor disorders.

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
, 2012 The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

Do synaesthesia and mental imagery tap into similar cross-modal processes? [PDF]
, 2019 Synaesthesia has previously been linked with imagery abilities, although an understanding of a causal role for mental imagery in broader synaesthetic experiences remains elusive.

TrpM8‐mediated somatosensation in mouse neocortex [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2018 AbstractSomatosensation is a complex sense mediated by more than a dozen distinct neural subtypes in the periphery. Although pressure and touch sensation have been mapped to primary somatosensory cortex in rodents, it has been controversial whether pain and temperature inputs are also directed to this area.

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]
, 2013 Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Measuring Change in Somatosensation Across the Lifespan [PDF]
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2015 Abstract OBJECTIVE. The study aim was to determine natural variability in somatosensation across age groups using brief measures. We validated measures in a community-dwelling population as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIH Toolbox; http://www.nihtoolbox ...

Utility and lower limits of frequency detection in surface electrode stimulation for somatosensory brain-computer interface in humans [PDF]
, 2020 Objective: Stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has been successful in evoking artificial somatosensation in both humans and animals, but much is unknown about the optimal stimulation parameters needed to generate robust percepts of ...
