Muscle pain inhibits cutaneous touch perception
Pain, 2001The processing of noxious and non-noxious sensations differs between chronic pain syndromes, and we believe that studies of sensory processing in the presence of pain will help to clarify the aetiology of the conditions. Here we measured in humans the threshold-level mechanosensitivity in tonic experimental muscle pain.

Texture perception via active touch
Human Movement Science, 1994Abstract The importance of movement in texture perception by touch has long been appreciated, but problematic issues related to the utilization of information during active touch persist. How is the repeated demonstration of active–passive equivalence in perceptual sensitivity to felt texture to be interpreted?

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 ...

Haptic perception of curvature through active touch
2011 IEEE World Haptics Conference, 2011Haptic perception of curvature can be achieved by passive or active finger touch. In this study we proposed a new curvature perception haptic device that can independently orient, elevate and translate a flat plate. By exploring it with a finger through active touch, we can render a curved shape.

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, but did not differ
