The somatosensory system is important for many functions, such as tactile recognition, the
perception of our body, and motor actions. We present a comprehensive review of the …

In the past few years, we have gained a better understanding of the information processing
mechanism in the human brain, which has led to advances in artificial intelligence and …

Somatic sensations may arise in the total absence of external stimuli, ie, spontaneous
sensations (SPSs). Because the background of body sensations has been mentioned as a …

Recent research has shown systematic patterns of confusions between digits of the hands
and feet. The present study addressed whether such confusions arise from early …

Abstract Some drivers experience Simulator Adaptation Syndrome (SAS), a condition in
which nausea, disorientation, dizziness, headache, and difficulty focusing, are exhibited …

Visual input and attention enhance tactile perception. But do they influence the perception of
spontaneous sensations (SPS) arising in the absence of any external stimulus? We have …

Processing of tactile stimuli requires both localising the stimuli on the body surface and
combining this information with a representation of the current posture. When tactile stimuli …

This research was focused on investigating the effectiveness of galvanic cutaneous
stimulation and tactile stimulation jointly and individually at mitigating Simulator Adaptation …

The aim of this study is to establish whether the thumb is represented independently of the
palm. An exogenous spatial cueing paradigm was used, where participants had to detect a …

Use of different effectors in two consecutive actions could generate an attentional shift
between the effectors with shorter latencies in the second action of reaching. 18 participants …
