Categorical perception of tactile distance [PDF]
, 2014 The tactile surface forms a continuous sheet covering the body. And yet, the perceived distance between two touches varies across stimulation sites. Perceived tactile distance is larger when stimuli cross over the wrist, compared to when both fall on ...

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 ...

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.
