Toward improving control performance of myoelectric arm prosthesis by adding wrist position feedback
Wearing a myoelectric prosthesis is a basic way for limb amputees to restore their lost limb functions in the activities of daily living (ADLs). However, it is estimated that around 40% of amputees refuse the prosthesis.

Show me the way to Monte Carlo: density-based trajectory navigation [PDF]
We demonstrate the use of uncertain prediction in a system for pedestrian navigation via audio with a combination of Global Positioning System data, a music player, inertial sensing, magnetic bearing data and Monte Carlo sampling for a density following ...

While vibrotactile stimulation shows promise for sensory substitution devices, a crucial question concerns vibrotactile spatial resolution. We examined the optimum distance between three voice coil actuators (model: lofeltL5) on the forearm.

Multi-Moji: Combining Thermal, Vibrotactile and Visual Stimuli to Expand the Affective Range of Feedback [PDF]
This paper explores the combination of multiple concurrent modalities for conveying emotional information in HCI: temperature, vibration and abstract visual displays. Each modality has been studied individually, but can only convey a limited range of

TMS-induced Neural Noise in Sensory Cortex Interferes with Short-term Memory Storage in Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
In a previous study, Harris et al. (2002) found disruption of vibrotactile short-term memory after applying single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to primary somatosensory cortex (SI) early in the maintenance period, and suggested that this

Safety and Tolerability of a Wearable, Vibrotactile Stimulation Device for Parkinson’s Disease
Background: Resting tremor is a cardinal symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that contributes to the physical, emotional, and economic burden of the disease.Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary ...

Vicarious experiences and detection accuracy while observing pain and touch: the effect of perspective taking [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the effects of observing pain and touch in others on vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of subtle somatosensory stimuli.

Cochlear implant (CI) users’ poor speech recognition in noise and music perception may be both due to their limited access to pitch cues such as the fundamental frequency (F0). Recent studies showed that similar to residual low-frequency acoustic hearing,

Observing another in pain facilitates vicarious experiences and modulates somatosensory experiences [PDF]
Objective: This study investigated whether individuals reporting vicarious pain in daily life (e.g., the self-reported vicarious pain group) display vicarious experiences during an experimental paradigm, and also show an improved detection of ...
