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

The perception of touch and the ventral somatosensory pathway [PDF]
Brain, 2014 In humans, touching the skin is known to activate, among others, the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex on the postcentral gyrus together with the bilateral parietal operculum (i.e. the anatomical site of the secondary somatosensory cortex). But which brain regions beyond the postcentral gyrus specifically contribute to the perception of touch ...

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 ...
