Large-scale changes in cortical dynamics triggered by repetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundRepetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation (SES) of forelimb peripheral nerves is a promising therapy; studies have shown that SES can improve motor function in stroke subjects with chronic deficits.

Sensorimotor incongruence and body perception: an experimental investigation
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Objectives: Several studies have shown that mirrored arm or leg movements are related to altered body sensations. This includes the alleviation of chronic pain using congruent mirror feedback and the induction of abnormal sensation in healthy ...

A novel sensor design for accurate measurement of facial somatosensation in pre-term infants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Facial somatosensory feedback is critical for breastfeeding in the first days of life. However, its development has never been investigated in humans. Here we develop a new interface to measure facial somatosensation in newborn infants.

Etiology of phantom limb syndrome: Insights from a 3D default space consciousness model [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, we examine phantom limb syndrome to gain insights into how the brain functions as the mind and how consciousness arises. We further explore our previously proposed consciousness model in which consciousness and body schema arise when ...

A two-way regularization method for MEG source reconstruction [PDF]
, 2012 The MEG inverse problem refers to the reconstruction of the neural activity of the brain from magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements. We propose a two-way regularization (TWR) method to solve the MEG inverse problem under the assumptions that only a ...

Somatosensory cortices are required for the acquisition of morphine-induced conditioned place preference. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Sensory system information is thought to play an important role in drug addiction related responses. However, how somatic sensory information participates in the drug related behaviors is still unclear.

Supraspinal characterization of the thermal grill illusion with fMRI. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundSimultaneous presentation of non-noxious warm (40°C) and cold (20°C) stimuli in an interlacing fashion results in a transient hot burning noxious sensation (matched at 46°C) known as the thermal grill (TG) illusion.
