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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Affective touch throughout life: from cortical processing in infancy to touch perception in adulthood [PDF]
, 2017 Affective, interpersonal touch is important for forming and maintaining social bonds. In the hairy skin of humans there is a specific type of nerve fibers called C-tactile (CT) afferents which are optimally activated by a light stroking of the skin, like

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.

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.
