Sex Differences in the Perception of Touching
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978Sex differences in the perception of touching were investigated by having 25 male and 25 female college students rate how likeable a touch would be under different conditions. The women produced a more favorable affect than the men when they touched, and women were perceived as liking to be touched mote than men.

Reliability of perception of fever by touch
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2003To assess the reliability of touch to predict fever in children.200 children who reported with fever formed the study material. Group I consisted of 100 children between 0-1 year of age and Group II consisted of 100 children between 6-12 years of age. Preterm, neonates under warming device, tachypnoeic and hypothermic were excluded from the study.

The Perception of Complex Patterns by Touch
Perception, 1985Two experiments are reported on matching Braille characters in dot pattern and outline shape formats by congenitally blind subjects. In a third experiment subjects' drawings of Braille shapes were analysed. Experiment 1 showed that normal and retarded readers differed significantly when outline shapes ‘cued’ identical dot patterns ...

Algorithms of whisker-mediated touch perception
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014Comparison of the functional organization of sensory modalities can reveal the specialized mechanisms unique to each modality as well as processing algorithms that are common across modalities. Here we examine the rodent whisker system. The whisker's mechanical properties shape the forces transmitted to specialized receptors.

Perception of touch quality in piano tones
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014Both timbre and dynamics of isolated piano tones are determined exclusively by the speed with which the hammer hits the strings. This physical view has been challenged by pianists who emphasize the importance of the way the keyboard is touched. This article presents empirical evidence from two perception experiments showing that touch-dependent sound ...

User Perception of Touch Screen Latency
2011The goal of this study was to determine the level at which touch screen latency becomes annoying for common tablet tasks. Two types of touch screen latency were manipulated for three applications: Web page browsing, photo viewing, and ebook reading. Initial latency conditions involved an initial delay in the screen’s visual response to touch inputs but

Discrimination-Based Perception for Robot Touch
2016Biomimetic tactile sensors often need a large amount of training to distinguish between a large number of different classes of stimuli. But when stimuli vary in one continuous property such as sharpness, it is possible to reduce training by using a discrimination approach rather than a classification approach. By presenting a biomimetic tactile sensing
