Modulation of pain by affective touch: effects of childhood trauma, depression, chronic pain, and spinal segment

open access: yesThe 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.

Stepping on obstacles with a sensory substitution device on the lower leg: practice without vision is more beneficial than practice with vision. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Practice is essential for an adapted use of sensory substitution devices. Understanding the learning process is therefore a fundamental issue in this field of research.

Modeling and Experimental Evaluation of Haptic Localization Using Electrostatic Vibration Actuators

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Touch screen devices have become ubiquitous in modern day-to-day lives. While smaller touchscreen devices provide enough user engagement with meaningful haptic feedback, large touch devices still lack meaningful haptic stimulation.

Vibrotactile Stimulation for Emotional Elicitation During Audiovisual Events

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Audiovisual media are an essential source of information and leisure in our lives, but people with hearing disabilities lose the emotional content that is intended to be transmitted through this channel. Some previous studies have tried to find alternative ways to elicit these emotions using other sensory channels, and some attempts have been made with

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

open access: yesThe 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).

Investigational treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with a vibrotactile device applied to the external ear

open access: yesBioelectronic Medicine, 2019
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory disease characterized by extensive joint tissue inflammation. Implantable bioelectronic devices targeting the inflammatory reflex reduce TNF production and inflammation in ...

Electrotactile frequency perception over multiple stimulation sites does not use a winner‐takes‐all mechanism

open access: yesThe 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.

Distributed functions of detection and discrimination of vibrotactile stimuli in the hierarchical human somatosensory system

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
According to the hierarchical view of human somatosensory network, somatic sensory information is relayed from the thalamus to primary somatosensory cortex (S1), and then distributed to adjacent cortical regions to perform further perceptual and ...

Auditory and vibrotactile interactions in perception of timbre acoustic features

open access: yesScientific Reports
Recently, there has been increasing interest in developing auditory-to-vibrotactile sensory devices. However, the potential of these technologies is constrained by our limited understanding of which features of complex sounds can be perceived through ...
