When we touch an object or explore a texture, frictional strains are induced by the tactile
interactions with the surface of the object. Little is known about how these interactions are …

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

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

There are conflicting reports as to whether the shape of the psychometric relation between
perceived roughness and tactile element spacing [spatial period (SP)] follows an inverted U …

We investigated the gating effect of passive and active movement on the vibrotactile
detection thresholds of the Pacinian (P) psychophysical channel and forward masking …

Many obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) patients experience sensory phenomena, such
as bodily sensations and “just-right” perceptions accompanying compulsions. We studied …

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 …

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

This study investigated the effects of stimulus modality, standard duration, sex, and laterality
in duration discrimination by musicians and nonmusicians. Seventeen musicians (M age …
