Categorical perception of tactile distance [PDF]
Cognition, 2014 The tactile surface forms a continuous sheet covering the body. And yet, the perceived distance between two touches varies across stimulation sites. Perceived tactile distance is larger when stimuli cross over the wrist, compared to when both fall on either the hand or the forearm.

Tactile perception of thermal diffusivity [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2009 The thermal diffusivity of an object is a parameter that controls the rate at which heat is extracted from the hand when it touches that object. It is an important feature for distinguishing materials by means of touch. In order to quantitatively describe the ability of human observers to discriminate between materials on the basis of heat extraction ...

Embodied Active Tactile Perception
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2023 Abstract Tactile perception plays an important role in an agent safely interacting with the environment while acquiring information about it. Bio-inspired robotics opens up possibilities for a new paradigm leveraging the morphology of the body, which filters the tactile information in physical interactions and enables investigations of ...

Embodied tactile perception and learning
Brain Science Advances, 2020 Various living creatures exhibit embodiment intelligence, which is reflected by a collaborative interaction of the brain, body, and environment. The actual behavior of embodiment intelligence is generated by a continuous and dynamic interaction between a

Tactile perception of auditory roughness
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Auditory roughness resulting from fast temporal beatings is often studied by summing two pure tones with close frequencies. Interestingly, the tactile counterpart of auditory roughness can be provided through touch with vibrotactile actuators. However, whether auditory roughness could also be perceived through touch and whether it exhibits similar ...

Perception of Tactile Distance on the Back [PDF]
Perception, 2021 The perceived distance between two touches is anisotropic on many parts of the body. Generally, tactile distances oriented across body width are perceived as larger than distances oriented along body length, though the magnitude of such biases differs substantially across the body. In this study, we investigated tactile distance perception on the back.

Intact tactile anisotropy despite altered hand perception in complex regional pain syndrome: rethinking the role of the primary sensory cortex in tactile and perceptual dysfunction [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is characterised by pain, autonomic, sensory and motor abnormalities. It is associated with changes in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1 representation), reductions in tactile sensitivity (tested by two-point ...

Dynamics of history-dependent perceptual judgment
Nature Communications, 2021 Identical physical inputs can evoke non-identical percepts. Here, the authors investigate the sources of such variability and find that rats and humans, trained to judge tactile vibration strength, express a robust sequential effect that could be modeled

Effects of fusion between tactile and proprioceptive inputs on tactile perception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Tactile perception is typically considered the result of cortical interpretation of afferent signals from a network of mechanical sensors underneath the skin.
