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

With the advancement of electrode and equipment technology, neuroprosthetics have
become a promising alternative to partially compensate for the loss of sensorimotor function …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic system is important for attention and modulates sensory
processing. We focused on the hindpaw representation in rat primary somatosensory cortex …

In this study, we present the design, microfabrication and characterization of a tactile sensor
system which can be used for sensory neuroprostheses in rats. The sensor system consists …

Background While pentobarbital has been used extensively in neurophysiological
experiments investigating activity in peripheral nerves, it has fallen out of favor as an …

Decoding of sensorimotor information is essential for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) as
well as in normal functioning organisms. In this study, Bayesian models were developed for …
