The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend We delivered trains of brief mechanical pulses to the fingertips of subjects to investigate vibrotactile intensity perception. Some stimuli consisted of bursts of up to four pulses. Simulated responses of the tactile afferent population across the hand revealed that afferents innervating the skin directly under the probe reliably

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Patients with fibromyalgia and no‐pain controls completed questionnaire ratings of chronic pain, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression. During the first session a conditioned pain modulation task was administered, with heat pain applied via thermode and cold pain via cold water‐bath.

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).

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Peripheral tactile afferents exhibit a wide range of response patterns to a pure frequency vibratory stimulus. Some afferents, including those remote from the stimulus site, fire at lower rates as they do not respond to every vibration cycle of the stimulus.

Origami‐Mediated Low‐Voltage Electret Soft Robotic Actuators for Human‐Machine Haptic Interfaces
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.This work introduces an origami‐mediated soft electret actuator that combines compliant mechanical design and enhanced charge retention for low‐voltage vibrotactile feedback. The device delivers reliable tactile cues, demonstrates durable performance under continuous actuation, and enables intuitive interaction in applications such as tactile ...

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1545-1562, August 2026.This systematic review and meta‐analysis compared bone‐anchored prostheses (BAP) and socket‐suspended prostheses (SSP) in individuals with transfemoral amputation (TFA) using only two‐arm comparative studies. Across 12 studies (BAP n = 200; SSP n = 244), no significant differences were found in mobility, quality of life, or gait.

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 13, 8 July 2026.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Sensory Tricks in Dystonia: A Systematic Review and Nested Quantitative Synthesis
Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Sensory tricks transiently suppress dystonic movements in up to 90% of patients when systematically elicited, yet remain underyrecognized clinically. Their neurophysiological basis and deviceybased analogues offer a promising, underutilized therapeutic avenue warranting standardized assessment and controlled trials.

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Multisensory integration (MSI) is crucial to interact adaptively with our environment and create a coherent representation of the body. Body illusion techniques, such as the rubber hand illusion, provide useful tools to study MSI since they produce a conflict between different sensory modalities and alter body perception.

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 12, 18 June 2026.This review presents recent progress in vision‐augmented wearable interfaces that combine artificial vision, soft wearable sensors, and exoskeletal robots. Inspired by biological visual systems, these technologies enable multimodal perception and intelligent human–machine interaction.
