Predictions of bimanual self-touch determine the temporal tuning of somatosensory perception

iScience
Summary: We easily distinguish self-touch from the touch of others. This distinction is suggested to arise because the brain predicts the somatosensory consequences of voluntary movements using an efference copy and attenuates the predicted self-touch ...

Independent representations of self-motion and object location in barrel cortex output.

PLoS Biology, 2020
During active tactile exploration, the dynamic patterns of touch are transduced to electrical signals and transformed by the brain into a mental representation of the object under investigation. This transformation from sensation to perception is thought

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in
