Perception of Tactile Distance on the Back [PDF]

open access: yesPerception, 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]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Conserved visual capacity of rats under red light

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Recent studies examine the behavioral capacities of rats and mice with and without visual input, and the neuronal mechanisms underlying such capacities.

Dynamics of history-dependent perceptual judgment

open access: yesNature 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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Tactile perception is typically considered the result of cortical interpretation of afferent signals from a network of mechanical sensors underneath the skin.

Manipulating Underfoot Tactile Perceptions of Flooring Materials in Augmented Virtuality

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Underfoot haptics, a largely unexplored area, offers rich tactile information close to that of hand-based interactions. Haptic feedback gives a sense of physicality to virtual environments, making for a more realistic and immersive experience.

Tactile object perception

open access: yesScholarpedia, 2015
It is commonly assumed that object perception is the combination of sensory features into unified perceptual entities. Tactile object perception may therefore be defined as the perception of objects whose feature information is acquired via touch. Consequently, research relevant to the topic of tactile objects has focused on exploring the primitives of

Tactile attention and the perception of moving tactile stimuli [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1991
Three experiments investigated the ability of subjects to identify the direction of movement of a pattern across the skin. In Experiments 1 and 2, subjects were required to identify the direction of movement of a pattern presented to one fingerpad while another moving pattern was being presented to an adjacent fingerpad.

Learning not to feel: reshaping the resolution of tactile perception

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013
We asked whether biased feedback during training could cause human subjects to lose perceptual acuity in a vibrotactile frequency discrimination task.
