Tactile perception of ultrasound

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
In this investigation, acoustic radiation force was used as a stimulus to determine the threshold for tactile perception in the human finger and upper forearm as a function of frequency and pulse duration. Initially, a small (1.8-cm2) acoustically reflecting disk was affixed to the anatomical exposure site to maximize the delivered radiation force ...

Tactile sensing utilizing human tactile perception

2011 IEEE World Haptics Conference, 2011
Human tactile perception incorporates two important characteristics - self-reference and bidirectionality. Self-reference is an important factor when evaluating tactile sensations. Bidirectionality contributes to sensing capability enhancement. In this paper, a tactile sensor including self-reference and bidirectionality is presented.

Tactile Pattern Perception

Perception, 1981
Because efforts to use the cutaneous sense for conveying speech and visual information have met with only partial success, it would be useful to understand better the pattern-sensing capabilities of touch. This paper is an account of the sensory and perceptual factors known or hypothesized to limit the tactile perception of simple two-dimensional ...

Robotic tactile perception

IMTC/99. Proceedings of the 16th IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (Cat. No.99CH36309), 2003
The paper presents a review of the biological basis and technological implementation issues of robotic tactile perception. Sensor construction and kinesthetic probing aspects are discussed for an experimental tactile perception system.

Tactile perception during action observation

Experimental Brain Research, 2016
It has been suggested that tactile perception becomes less acute during movement to optimize motor control and to prevent an overload of afferent information generated during action. This empirical phenomenon, known as "tactile gating effect," has been associated with mechanisms of sensory feedback prediction.

Verbal labels facilitate tactile perception

Cognition, 2018
One of the key statements of linguistic relativity is that language has a causal effect on perception. Although much previous research has addressed such putative language perception causality, no firm proof is available thus far which demonstrates that verbal labels help or otherwise influence perceptual processes.

The Development of Tactile Perception

2017
Touch is the first of our senses to develop, providing us with the sensory scaffold on which we come to perceive our own bodies and our sense of self. Touch also provides us with direct access to the external world of physical objects, via haptic exploration.

Cortical adaptation and tactile perception

Nature Neuroscience, 2014
Cortical neurons reduce spiking responses to repetitive sensory stimulation, but the perceptual impact of this adaptation has been difficult to assess. Work now shows that it has profound consequences for tactile perception.

Autism: tactile perception and emotion

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2007
AbstractBackground  For many years, and especially since Waynbaum and Wallon, psychology and psychopathology have dealt with cognitive perception, but have had little to do with the affective qualities of perception. Our aim was to study the influence of the sensory environment on people with autism.Method  Several experiments were carried out using ...
