Electro-Haptic Stimulation: A New Approach for Improving Cochlear-Implant Listening

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Cochlear implants (CIs) have been remarkably successful at restoring speech perception for severely to profoundly deaf individuals. Despite their success, several limitations remain, particularly in CI users’ ability to understand speech in noisy ...

Rapid enhancement of touch from non-informative vision of the hand [PDF]

, 2012
Processing in one sensory modality may modulate processing in another. Here we investigate how simply viewing the hand can influence the sense of touch. Previous studies showed that non-informative vision of the hand enhances tactile acuity, relative to ...

Wiring the senses: Factors that regulate peripheral axon pathfinding in sensory systems

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 81-103, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Sensory neurons of the head are the ones that transmit the information about the external world to our brain for its processing. Axons from cranial sensory neurons sense different chemoattractant and chemorepulsive molecules during the journey and in the target tissue to establish the precise innervation with brain neurons and/or receptor ...

An fMRI study on cortical responses during active self-touch and passive touch from others

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012
Active, self-touch and the passive touch from an external source engage comparable afferent mechanoreceptors on the touched skin site. However, touch directed to glabrous skin compared to hairy skin will activate different types of afferent ...

Postural control during quiet standing following cervical muscular fatigue: effects of changes in sensory inputs [PDF]

Neuroscience Letters 378, 3 (2005) 135-9, 2008
The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the effects of cervical muscular fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under different conditions of reliability and/or availability of somatosensory inputs from the plantar soles and the ankles and visual information.

Pain‐autonomic measures reveal nociceptive sensitization in complex regional pain syndrome

European Journal of Pain, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 72-85, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Allodynia and hyperalgesia are common signs in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), mainly attributed to sensitization of the nociceptive system. Appropriate diagnostic tools for the objective assessment of such hypersensitivities are still lacking, which are essential for the development of mechanism‐based ...

A new perceptual paradigm to investigate the visual remapping of others’ tactile sensations onto one’s own body shows "mirror touch" for the hands

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The last two decades have seen a multitude of publications showing the activation of an observer's somatosensory cortical system during the observation of touch on another person.

Circuit organization of the excitatory sensorimotor loop through hand/forelimb S1 and M1

eLife, 2021
Sensory-guided limb control relies on communication across sensorimotor loops. For active touch with the hand, the longest loop is the transcortical continuation of ascending pathways, particularly the lemnisco-cortical and corticocortical pathways ...

Interactions between cardiac activity and conscious somatosensory perception

, 2019
Fluctuations in the heart's activity can modulate the access of external stimuli to consciousness. The link between perceptual awareness and cardiac signals has been investigated mainly in the visual and auditory domain. Here, we investigated whether the

The brain's response to pleasant touch: an EEG investigation of tactile caressing [PDF]

, 2014
Somatosensation as a proximal sense can have a strong impact on our attitude toward physical objects and other human beings. However, relatively little is known about how hedonic valence of touch is processed at the cortical level.
