Reduced pleasant touch appraisal in the presence of a disgusting odor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Odors are powerful emotional stimuli influencing mood, attention and behavior. Here we examined if odors change the perception of pleasant touch. In line with the warning function of the olfactory system, we proposed that especially unpleasant odors will

Touch Perception: How We Know Where We Are Touched [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2010
The brain localizes touch not only on the skin, but also in three-dimensional space. A new study links behavioral findings in humans with neurophysiological findings in monkeys and suggests a model of how recoding from skin to space may be accomplished.

Learning of Artificial Sensation Through Long-Term Home Use of a Sensory-Enabled Prosthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Upper limb prostheses are specialized tools, and skilled operation is learned by amputees over time. Recently, neural prostheses using implanted peripheral nerve interfaces have enabled advances in artificial somatosensory feedback that can improve ...

Neural processing of self-touch and other-touch in anorexia nervosa and autism spectrum condition

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2022
Introduction: The tactile sense plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of a functional bodily self. The ability to differentiate between self- and nonself-generated touch contributes to the perception of the bodies’ boundaries and more ...

Human perception of shape from touch [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
In this paper, I focus on the role of active touch in three aspects of shape perception and discrimination studies. First an overview is given of curvature discrimination experiments. The most prominent result is that first-order stimulus information (that is, the difference in attitude or slope over the stimulus) is the dominant factor determining the

Velocity-Oriented Dynamic Control–Display Gain for Kinesthetic Interaction with a Grounded Force-Feedback Device

open access: yesMultimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2023
Kinesthetic interaction is an important interaction method for virtual reality. Current kinesthetic interaction using a grounded force-feedback device, however, is still considered difficult and time-consuming because of the interaction difficulty in a ...

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.

Bio-Inspired Artificial Receptor with Integrated Tactile Sensing and Pain Warning Perceptual Abilities

open access: yesMachines, 2022
Inspired by the mechanism of touch and pain in human skin, we integrated two ion-sensing films and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer together to achieve a bionic artificial receptor with the capacity of distinguishing touch or pain perception through ...
