Tactile-STAR: A Novel Tactile STimulator And Recorder System for Evaluating and Improving Tactile Perception

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Many neurological diseases impair the motor and somatosensory systems. While several different technologies are used in clinical practice to assess and improve motor functions, somatosensation is evaluated subjectively with qualitative clinical scales ...

Neonatal Whisker Trimming Impairs Fear/Anxiety-Related Emotional Systems of the Amygdala and Social Behaviors in Adult Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Abnormalities in tactile perception, such as sensory defensiveness, are common features in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While not a diagnostic criterion for ASD, deficits in tactile perception contribute to the observed lack of social communication ...

Tactons: structured tactile messages for non-visual information display [PDF]

, 2004
Tactile displays are now becoming available in a form that can be easily used in a user interface. This paper describes a new form of tactile output. Tactons, or tactile icons, are structured, abstract messages that can be used to communicate messages ...

Neural coding of tactile decisions in the human prefrontal cortex [PDF]

, 2006
The neural processes underlying tactile decisions in the human brain remain elusive. We addressed this question in a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using a somatosensory discrimination task, requiring participants to compare the frequency of

Pupil Reactions to Tactile Stimulation: A Systematic Review

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Pupil dynamics can represent an indirect measure of perception; thus, it has been broadly explored in the auditory and visual fields. Although it is crucial for experiencing the outside world, tactile perception is not well-explored. Considering that, we

Thermal Tactile Perception

International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence, 2021
Using thermal tactile sensing mechanism based on semi-infinite body model, and combining with the advantages of maximum proportional controller, fuzzy and PID controller, a thermal tactile perception and reproduction experiment device (TTPRED) was designed based on the composite control strategy of threshold switching.

Shifts of attention in the early blind: an ERP study of attentional control processes in the absence of visual spatial information [PDF]

, 2006
To investigate the role of visual spatial information in the control of spatial attention, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded during a tactile attention task for a group of totally blind participants who were either congenitally blind or

Attenuation of self-generated tactile sensations is predictive, not postdictive

, 2006
When one finger touches the other, the resulting tactile sensation is perceived as weaker than the same stimulus externally imposed. This attenuation of sensation could result from a predictive process that subtracts the expected sensory consequences of ...

Variation in the autism candidate gene GABRB3 modulates tactile sensitivity in typically developing children

, 2012
Background: Autism spectrum conditions have a strong genetic component. Atypical sensory sensitivities are one of the core but neglected features of autism spectrum conditions. GABRB3 is a well-characterised candidate gene for autism spectrum conditions.
