Across the foot sole, there are vibration and monofilament sensory differences despite an
alleged even distribution of cutaneous afferents. Mechanical property differences across foot …

We investigated the gating effect of passive and active movement on the vibrotactile
detection thresholds of the Pacinian (P) psychophysical channel and forward masking …

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the psychophysical
vibrotactile thresholds of the Pacinian (P) channel and the mechanical properties of the skin …

Previous histological and neurophysiological studies have shown that the innervation
density of rapidly adapting (RA) mechanoreceptive fibers increases towards the fingertip …

Tactile perception depends on the contributions of four psychophysical tactile channels
mediated by four corresponding receptor systems. The sensitivity of the tactile channels is …

Objective. Recent studies showed that intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) generates
artificial sensations which can be utilized as somatosensory feedback in cortical …

Thresholds of the Non-Pacinian I (NP I) channel were measured using a two-interval forced-
choice paradigm, a technique independent of the subject's criterion. The studies were …

Psychophysical experiments and model simulations were performed to identify plausible
neural codes representing stimulus magnitude in the Non-Pacinian I (NP I) tactile channel …

This study involves psychophysical experiments and computer simulations to investigate
intensity discrimination in the non-Pacinian I (NP I) tactile channel. The simulations were …

Background Rat skin is innervated by mechanoreceptive fibers similar to those in other
mammals. Tactile experiments with behaving rats mostly focus on the vibrissal system which …
