Affective CT‐touch attenuates cortical responses and subjective attention during temporal summation of second pain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).

A Large‐Area Broadband Multimodal Dual‐Resonant Haptic Device for Bidirectional Telerobotic and Augmented Interactions

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.
We present a large‐area bidirectional human–machine interface integrating electrostatic multimodal tactile sensing with a dual‐resonant haptic actuator. The system enables linear pressure sensing that is decoupled from actuation and stable broadband vibrotactile feedback under dynamic contact conditions, supporting real‐time feedback modulation aligned

Programmable Fabric‐Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Wearables: A Review

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review summarizes recent advances in fabric soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs), emphasizing programmable design strategies, diverse actuation deformation modes, material selection, and emerging applications. We highlight how geometric constraints, material distribution, and specialized fabrication methods govern longitudinal, bending, torsional, and

Psychological Empowerment on the Streets: Designing and Validating Multisensory Experiences in Simulated Autonomous Driving

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.
This study developed and evaluated three multisensory solutions combining music with synchronized vibrotactile stimulation for autonomous driving contexts: safe (city driving), engagement (highway cruising), and entertainment (highway entry). Eighteen adults’ emotional responses were measured using self‐report and EEG.

Vibrotactile spatial acuity on the back

Perception
Vibrotactile feedback can be built into clothing such as vests. This means that often vibrotactile information is presented to the back. It is known that the back has a relatively low spatial acuity. Spatial acuity varies across different limbs and sometimes with different locations on a limb.

The Effect of a Fully Immersive Virtual Reality Training Program on Walking Parameters in People With Unilateral Below‐Knee Amputation: An Experimental and a Single‐Subject Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The virtual reality (VR) environment has the potential to be an effective component of walking training in the rehabilitation of lower limb amputees. Creating an accessible walking training program based on fully immersive VR environment could enhance the applicability of this technology in this population.

The Role of Movement on the Development of the Audiotactile Temporal Binding Window

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The perception of temporal correspondence between sensory signals from body movements and those arising through environmental interactions is crucial for multisensory integration and adaptive behavior. In adults, the perception of multisensory temporal alignment is more accurate during active than passive or no movement.

Speech‐Like Vibrotactile Stimulation Is Associated With Enhanced Cortical Activations in Single‐Sided Deafness: An fMRI Study

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 10, May 2026.
Using fMRI during somatosensory stimulation with fixed‐frequency and speech‐derived vibrotactile signals, normal‐hearing adults showed stronger stimulus selectivity in primary somatosensory cortex, with greater responses to simple periodic vibrations.

Conscious Tactile Perception Depends on Early Processing in Primary Somatosensory Cortex

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 10, May 2026.
Single‐pulse TMS over the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1) impaired tactile sensitivity at early (25 and 75 ms), but not late (130 ms) latencies following electrotactile stimulation of the finger at the sensory detection threshold, demonstrating a temporally constrained role of S1 in conscious detection. TMS did not have any interference

An Activity Classification for Vibrotactile Phenomena [PDF]

, 2006
We observe that the recent availability of audio-haptic actuators allow richer vibration content to be available in commercial devices. However, we note that consumers are unable to take advantage of these rich experiences, mainly due to the lack of a descriptive language for vibration. We analyze the current methods for classifying vibrations.
