Visual-haptic integration with pliers and tongs: signal “weights” take account of changes in haptic sensitivity caused by different tools
C Takahashi, SJ Watt - Frontiers in psychology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
When we hold an object while looking at it, estimates from visual and haptic cues to size are
combined in a statistically optimal fashion, whereby the “weight” given to each signal reflects
their relative reliabilities. This allows object properties to be estimated more precisely than
would otherwise be possible. Tools such as pliers and tongs systematically perturb the
mapping between object size and the hand opening. This could complicate visual-haptic
integration because it may alter the reliability of the haptic signal, thereby disrupting the …
