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 …

Previous models of touch have linked skin mechanics to neural firing rate, neural dynamics
to action potential elicitation, and mechanoreceptor populations to psychophysical …

In this study, we investigated the changes in perceptual metrics of amplitude discrimination
that were observed in ten healthy human subjects with increasing intensities of stimulation …

Background It is established that increasing the amplitude of a flutter stimulus increases its
perceived intensity. Although many studies have examined this phenomenon with regard to …

The present study aimed to identify the mechanism of tactile sensation by analyzing the
regularity of the firing pattern of Merkel cell–neurite complex (MCNC) under the stimulation …

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

Reconstructing neural-population responses in the form of spatial event plots assumes that
the receptors are organized in a dense linear array. We have found that this assumption 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 …

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