Speech-derived haptic stimulation enhances speech recognition in a multi-talker background

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Speech understanding, while effortless in quiet conditions, is challenging in noisy environments. Previous studies have revealed that a feasible approach to supplement speech-in-noise (SiN) perception consists in presenting speech-derived signals as ...

A pneumatic vibrotactile stimulation device for fMRI [PDF]

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2004
AbstractMapping the functional response of the somatosensory cortex is useful both for characterizing normal brain activity and for determining the functional integrity of damaged cortex compromised by stroke or other neurological insults. A variety of stimulators have been used to produce somatosensory cortex activation in functional brain imaging ...

Vibrotactile signals can aid recognition of spectrally degraded speech signals [PDF]

open access: yesJASA Express Letters
The potential utility of providing low-frequency portions of speech signals through vibrotactile stimulation as an aid to speech recognition by cochlear implant recipients was examined. Sixty-five young adults with normal hearing heard four-channel noise-

Influence of Stochastic Resonance on Manual Dexterity in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Double-Blind Interventional Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: There is increasing evidence that the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon provided by subthreshold mechanical noise stimulation improves the sensory-motor system. However, the effect of SR on children with developmental coordination disorder

A Large-Area Broadband Multimodal Dual-Resonant Haptic Device for Bidirectional Telerobotic and Augmented Interactions. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
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

Repeated training with augmentative vibrotactile feedback increases object manipulation performance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Most users of prosthetic hands must rely on visual feedback alone, which requires visual attention and cognitive resources. Providing haptic feedback of variables relevant to manipulation, such as contact force, may thus improve the usability of ...
