Pain is a subjective experience that protects the body. This function implies a special
relation between the brain mechanisms underlying pain perception and representation of …

Undoubtedly, adjusting our thermoregulatory behavior represents the most effective
mechanism to maintain thermal homeostasis and ensure survival in the diverse thermal …

We propose ThermoCaress, a haptic device to create a stroking sensation on the forearm
using pressure force and present thermal feedback simultaneously. In our method, based on …

This paper investigates the effects of thermal referral and tactile masking illusions to achieve
localized thermal feedback on the upper body. Two experiments are conducted. The first …

Some materials feel colder to the touch than others, and we can use this difference in
perceived coldness for material recognition. This review focuses on the mechanisms …

This study presents a novel method for creating moving thermal sensations by integrating
the thermal referral illusion with tactile motion. Conducted through three experiments on …

We present a novel approach to render thermal and tactile feedback to the palm and
fingertips through thermal and tactile integration. Our approach minimizes the obstruction of …

Thermal illusions, a subset of haptic illusions, have historically faced technical challenges
and limited exploration. They have been underutilized in prior studies related to thermal …

We propose ThermicVib, a wearable multimodal haptic glove that enhances the active
perception of thermo-tactile interactions with virtual objects by integrating thermal referrals …

This paper reports on a thermal illusion called thermal masking. Thermal masking is a
phenomenon induced by thermal referral to completely mask the original thermal sensation …
