Machines, 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 ...

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

Vocabulary to speak about touch: analysis of the discourse of electric guitar players
Acta Acustica, 2022 This work presents a multidisciplinary approach to vibrotactile perception, applying linguistic methods to musical acoustics. We are interested more particularly in the sense of touch as a part of the multisensory experience of playing a musical ...

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

Seeing touch in the somatosensory cortex: A TMS study of the visual perception of touch [PDF]
Human Brain Mapping, 2011 AbstractRecent studies suggest the existence of a visuo‐tactile mirror system, comprising the primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices, which matches observed touch with felt touch. Here, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was used to determine whether SI or SII play a functional role in the visual processing of tactile ...

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

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...
