The neural circuits of thermal perception. [PDF]
Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2018 Thermal information about skin surface temperature is a key sense for the perception of object identity and valence. The identification of ion channels involved in the transduction of thermal changes has provided a genetic access point to the thermal system.

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 ...

Thermal Perception and its Relation to Touch [PDF]
Philosophers' Imprint, 2023 Touch is standardly taken to be a proximal sense, principally constituted by capacities to detect pressure and thermal stimulation, and contrasted with the distal senses of vision and audition. It has, however, recently been argued that the scope of touch goes beyond proximal perception; touch can connect us to distal objects.

Thermal-Tactile Integration in Object Temperature Perception [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2019 The brain consistently faces a challenge of whether and how to combine the available information sources to estimate the properties of an object explored by hand. While object perception is an inference process involving multisensory inputs, thermal referral (TR) is an illusion demonstrating how the interaction between thermal and tactile systems can ...

Exploring outdoor thermal perception—a revised model [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2019 This paper aims at extending earlier models of outdoor thermal perception by fusing new knowledge from recent literature and deriving perspectives for future research and methods from the new model. Previous models focused on physical and physiological aspects. Only recently, the psychological aspects of thermal perception received more attention, such

Thermal Perception in Mild Climate: Adaptive Thermal Models for Schools [PDF]
Sustainability, 2019 A comprehensive assessment of indoor environmental conditions is performed on a representative sample of classrooms in schools across southern Spain (Mediterranean climate) to evaluate the thermal comfort level, thermal perception and preference, and the relationship with HVAC systems, with a comparison of seasons and personal clothing.

Perception of thermal stimuli for continuous interaction
CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2013 Thermal stimulation represents a relatively unexplored and potentially beneficial area of research for interface design. To date no research on thermal interfaces has looked at continuous thermal stimulation in detail. Here we begin to explore the design space offered by continuous thermal stimulation by conducting a controlled experiment that ...

The Doors of Dynamic Thermal Perception
, 2018 The thermal experience of people moving in urban spaces in everyday life is characterised by multiple qualities and perceptions. This seamless transition from one perception to another in itself creates a multisensory network of dynamic thermal boundaries, which could act as assessment mechanism in the way we perceive quality of urban space and urban ...

Human thermal perception and time of day: A review. [PDF]
Temperature (Austin), 2021 The circadian clock regulates diurnal variations in autonomic thermoregulatory processes such as core body temperature in humans. Thus, we might expect that similar daily fluctuations also characterize human thermal perception, the ultimate role of which is to drive thermoregulatory behaviors.
