Static and active tactile perception and touch anisotropy: aging and gender effect

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Although the human finger is the interface used for the touch process, very few studies have used its properties to provide a description of tactile perception regarding age and gender effects.

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

open access: yeseLife
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.

The Touch, the sense of body and the sense of action

open access: yesSenses and Sciences, 2014
The tactile sensitivity has been used as a model to analyze the cortical organization’s principles in order to realize a conscious perception. Somatosensory cortex is a perceptive macrosystem localized in the parietal cortex organized to represent the ...

Thermal Perception and its Relation to Touch [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophers' 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.

Turning Touch into Perception [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2020
Many brain areas modulate their activity during vibrotactile tasks. The activity from these areas may code the stimulus parameters, stimulus perception, or perceptual reports. Here, we discuss findings obtained in behaving monkeys aimed to understand these processes. In brief, neurons from the somatosensory thalamus and primary somatosensory cortex (S1)

Relationship between Surface Roughness and Touch Perception on the Surfaces with Randomly Spaced, Irregular Features [PDF]

open access: yes한국정밀공학회지, 2021
The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between surface roughness and touch perception of surfaces with randomly spaced, irregular features. Two sets of specimens with top surfaces consisting of triangular peaks and valleys

Touch: Fluctuating Waves of Perception [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2020
Does sensory input flow into the brain as a stream, or does it come in waves? New research shows that tactile information in the cortex rises and falls in phase with the forward and back motion of whiskers during surface exploration.

Selective perception by dynamic touch [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1996
Perceiving the length of a rod by dynamic touch is tied to the inertia tensor Iij, a quantification of its resistance to rotational acceleration. Perception of the portion extending in front of the grasp has previously been ascribed to decomposing one component of Iij by attention.
