Object-guided Spatial Attention in Touch: Holding the Same Object with Both Hands Delays Attentional Selection [PDF]

, 2009
Previous research has shown that attention to a specific location on a uniform visual object spreads throughout the entire object. Here we demonstrate that, similar to the visual system, spatial attention in touch can be object guided.

Somatosensory Processing of the Tongue in Humans [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2010
We review research on somatosensory (tactile) processing of the tongue based on data obtained using non-invasive neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods. Technical difficulties in stimulating the tongue, due to the noise elicited by the stimulator, the fixation of the stimulator, and the vomiting reflex, have necessitated the development of ...

Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

A 2.5-D representation of the human hand [PDF]

, 2012
Primary somatosensory maps in the brain represent the body as a discontinuous, fragmented set of 2-D skin regions. We nevertheless experience our body as a coherent 3-D volumetric object.

Tactile Location Perception Encoded by Gamma-Band Power

Bioengineering
Background: The perception of tactile-stimulation locations is an important function of the human somatosensory system during body movements and its interactions with the surroundings.

Efficient population coding of naturalistic whisker motion in the ventro-posterior medial thalamus based on precise spike timing

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015
The rodent whisker-associated thalamic nucleus (VPM) contains a somatotopic map where whisker representation is divided into distinct neuronal sub-populations, called 'barreloids'.

Effects of an 11-week vibro-tactile stimulation treatment on voice symptoms in laryngeal dystonia

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundLaryngeal dystonia is a task-specific focal dystonia of laryngeal muscles that impairs speech and voice production. At present, there is no cure for LD.

Peripheral Nerve Activation Evokes Machine-Learnable Signals in the Dorsal Column Nuclei

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
The brainstem dorsal column nuclei (DCN) are essential to inform the brain of tactile and proprioceptive events experienced by the body. However, little is known about how ascending somatosensory information is represented in the DCN.

Brain‐Wide Spatiotemporally Distinct Traveling Waves Drive Anxiety‐Like Behaviors in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
J.Liu et al. reveal the complete propagation dynamics of cortical traveling waves, from local circuitry initiation to long‐range propagation, and identify their functional relevance in modulating anxiety‐like behaviors and underlying cellular neuroplasticity in mice.
