Information-Processing Channels in the Tactile Sensory System addresses the fundamental
question of whether sensory channels, similar to those known to operate in vision and …

This article addresses the broad question of understanding whether and how a combination
of tactile and visual information could be used to enhance the experience of music by the …

Clinical swallow protocols cannot detect silent aspiration due to absence of overt behavioral
signs, but screening with a much larger bolus volume, ie, 90 cc vs. 1–10 cc, may elicit a …

Background The modifications of fluid viscosity and/or volume are common strategies in
dysphagia management, with increased viscosity or reduced volume intended to reduce …

The stage at which processing of tactile distance occurs is still debated. We addressed this
issue by implementing an adaptation-aftereffect paradigm with passive touch. We …

Tactile acuity is known to decline with age in adults, possibly as the result of receptor loss,
but less is understood about how tactile acuity changes during childhood. Previous research …

Increased reaction time variability (RTV) is one of the most replicable behavioral correlates
of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, this may not be specific to ADHD …

This chapter focuses on the biological and behavioural basics of the haptic modality. On the
one side, several concepts for describing interaction are presented in Sect. 2.2, on the other …

The aim of this study was to examine relationships between the presence vs. absence of an
aspiration-related airway protective response (ie, coughing or throat clearing) with aspiration …

Humans can haptically discriminate surface textures when there is a significant difference in
the statistics of the surface profile. Previous studies on tactile texture discrimination have …
