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 Perception Technologies and Their Applications in Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been the preferred surgery approach owing to its advantages over conventional open surgery. As a major limitation, the lack of tactile perception impairs the ability of surgeons in tissue distinction and maneuvers ...

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

Seeing the body distorts tactile size perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Vision of the body modulates somatosensation, even when entirely non-informative about stimulation. For example, seeing the body increases tactile spatial acuity, but reduces acute pain.

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.

TouchRoller: A Rolling Optical Tactile Sensor for Rapid Assessment of Textures for Large Surface Areas

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Tactile sensing is important for robots to perceive the world as it captures the physical surface properties of the object with which it is in contact and is robust to illumination and colour variances.

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.

Neuronal Correlates of Tactile Working Memory in Prefrontal and Vibrissal Somatosensory Cortex

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Tactile working memory engages a broad network of cortical regions in primates. To assess whether the conclusions drawn from primates apply to rodents, we examined the vibrissal primary somatosensory cortex (vS1) and the prelimbic cortex (PL) in

Contact of a Finger on Rigid Surfaces and Textiles: Friction Coefficient and Induced Vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The tactile information about object surfaces is obtained through perceived contact stresses and frictioninduced vibrations generated by the relative motion between the fingertip and the touched object.

Whisker-Mediated Touch System in Rodents: From Neuron to Behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
A key question in systems neuroscience is to identify how sensory stimuli are represented in neuronal activity, and how the activity of sensory neurons in turn is “read out” by downstream neurons and give rise to behavior.
