A Tactile Virtual Reality for the Study of Active Somatosensation [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Natural exploration of textures involves active sensing, i.e., voluntary movements of tactile sensors (e.g., human fingertips or rodent whiskers) across a target surface. Somatosensory input during moving tactile sensors varies according to both the movement and the surface texture.

Hearing, touching, and multisensory integration during mate choice
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Mate choice is a potent generator of diversity and a fundamental pillar for sexual selection and evolution. Mate choice is a multistage affair, where complex sensory information and elaborate actions are used to identify, scrutinize, and evaluate ...

Decoding visual object categories in early somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2015 Neurons, even in the earliest sensory areas of cortex, are subject to a great deal of contextual influence from both within and across modality connections. In the present work, we investigated whether the earliest regions of somatosensory cortex (S1 and

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

Mechanoreceptor-inspired multisensory fibers for artificial somatosensation
npj Flexible ElectronicsHuman somatosensation arises from one-dimensional (1D) nerve bundles that compactly transmit multimodal sensory signals along linear pathways, where proprioceptive and tactile receptors are intricately coordinated to enable precise perception and ...

Somatosensation: Putting Touch On the Map [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 A new study takes a significant step towards uncovering the mechanisms that put tactile events on the brain's spatial map by establishing a causal link between attention-related parietal alpha oscillatory activity and the external spatial coding of touch.
