Diminished Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio Disrupts Somatosensory Population Encoding and Drives Tactile Hyposensitivity in the Fmr1−/y Autism Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study provides a translational approach for linking neural activity to tactile deficits in autism. By combining psychophysics with cortical recordings in a mouse model of autism, we show that low signal‐to‐noise ratio in somatosensory neurons weakens population encoding of fine touch, impairing detection, decoding, and leading to perceptual ...

Vibrational Feedback for a Teleoperated Continuum Robot with Non-contact Endoscope Localization

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Limited or absent haptic feedback is reported as a factor hindering the continued adoption of surgical robots. This article presents a proof of concept for vibrotactile feedback integrated into a continuum robot to explore whether such feedback improves ...

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

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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

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).

Localizing 3D motion through the fingertips: Following in the footsteps of elephants

iScience
Summary: Each sense serves a different specific function in spatial perception, and they all form a joint multisensory spatial representation. For instance, hearing enables localization in the entire 3D external space, while touch traditionally only ...

Visuo-tactile links in covert exogenous spatial attention remap across changes in unseen hand posture [PDF]

, 2002
We investigated the effect of unseen hand posture on cross-modal, visuo-tactile links in covert spatial attention. In Experiment 1, a spatially nonpredictive visual cue was presented to the left or right hemifleld shortly before a tactile target on ...
