During object manipulation tasks, the brain selects and implements action-phase controllers
that use sensory predictions and afferent signals to tailor motor output to the physical …

We review four current computational models that simulate the response of
mechanoreceptors in the glabrous skin to tactile stimulation. The aim is to inform …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

Wearability will significantly increase the use of haptics in everyday life, as has already
happened for audio and video technologies. The literature on wearable haptics is mainly …

It is generally assumed that primary sensory neurons transmit information by their firing
rates. However, during natural object manipulations, tactile information from the fingertips is …

One of the main barriers to immersivity during object manipulation in virtual reality is the lack
of realistic haptic feedback. Our goal is to convey compelling interactions with virtual objects …

Sensory systems are designed to extract behaviorally relevant information from the
environment. In seeking to understand a sensory system, it is important to understand the …

In most manipulations, we use our fingertips to apply time-varying forces to the target object
in controlled directions. Here we used microneurography to assess how single tactile …

Biomechanics and Motor Control: Defining Central Concepts provides a thorough update to
the rapidly evolving fields of biomechanics of human motion and motor control with research …

Through highly precise perceptual and sensorimotor activities, the human tactile system
continuously acquires information about the environment. Mechanical interactions between …
