Tactile sensitivity alters textile touch perception. [PDF]

PLoS One
Tactility plays a crucial role in our interactions with the physical world including our ability to differentiate textile textures and their associated comfort. There is an increasing focus on digitally interactive haptic experiences enabling consumers to feel virtual objects realistically.

Frictional instabilities as an alternative to friction coefficient in fine touch perception [PDF]

eLife
Fine touch perception is often correlated to material properties and friction coefficients, but the inherent variability of human motion has led to low correlations and contradictory findings.

Pleasant touch perception in borderline personality disorder and its relationship with disturbed body representation [PDF]

Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation, 2022
Background Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by altered perception of affective stimuli, including abnormal evaluation of nociceptive input. However, whether or not perceptual alterations are present for its positive counterpart, i.e.

Endowing a NAO Robot With Practical Social-Touch Perception [PDF]

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Social touch is essential to everyday interactions, but current socially assistive robots have limited touch-perception capabilities. Rather than build entirely new robotic systems, we propose to augment existing rigid-bodied robots with an external ...

Acute tryptophan depletion alters affective touch perception. [PDF]

Psychopharmacology (Berl), 2022
Abstract Rationale Affiliative tactile interactions help regulate physiological arousal and confer resilience to acute and chronic stress. C-tactile afferents (CTs) are a population of unmyelinated, low threshold mechanosensitive cutaneous nerve fibres which respond optimally to a low force stimulus, moving at between 1 ...
