Touch: Fluctuating Waves of Perception [PDF]
Current 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.

When consumers touch: a conceptual model of consumer haptic perception [PDF]
Spanish Journal of Marketing-ESIC, 2022 Purpose – Touch plays an important role in the evaluations of products. However, prior quantitative touch research does not present a holistic perspective of haptics.

Selective perception by dynamic touch [PDF]
Perception & 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.

Difference in Haptic Softness Estimation using Pressing and Pinching [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2023 People systematically use different touch strategies to perceive different object features. When interacting with a deformable object, human typically judge the softness by pressing the finger pad into the surface or pinching the object with the thumb ...

Edge orientation perception during active touch [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018 AbstractPrevious studies investigating the perceptual attributes of tactile edge-orientation processing have applied their stimuli to an immobilized fingertip. Here we tested the perceptual attributes of edge orientation processing when participants actively touched the stimulus.

Quantifying touch–feel perception: tribological aspects [PDF]
Measurement Science and Technology, 2008 We report a new investigation into how surface topography and friction affect human touch–feel perception. In contrast with previous work based on micro-scale mapping of surface mechanical and tribological properties, this investigation focuses on the direct measurement of the friction generated when a fingertip is stroked on a test specimen. A special
