Many children with autistic spectrum disorders have unusual reactions to certain sensory
stimuli. These reactions vary along a hyper-to hypo-responsivity continuum. For example …

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 …

Future touch screen applications will include multiple tactile stimuli displayed
simultaneously or consecutively to single finger or multiple fingers. These applications …

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 …

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 …

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

The firing-rate-based population model for rapidly-adapting (RA) mechanoreceptive fibers
by Güçlü and Bolanowski (Güçlü B, Bolanowski SJ. 2002. Modeling population responses of …

Non-NMDA receptor-mediated vibrotactile responses of neurons from the hindpaw
representation were investigated in the rat SI cortex. We recorded single-unit spikes evoked …

Rapidly-adapting (RA) mechanoreceptive fibers, which are associated with Meissner
corpuscles, mediate one component of the neural information that contributes to the sense of …
