Multisensory perception constrains the formation of object categories: a review of evidence from sensory-driven and predictive processes on categorical decisions
Although object categorization is a fundamental cognitive ability, it is also a complex process
going beyond the perception and organization of sensory stimulation. Here we review …

Parkinson's disease accelerates age-related decline in haptic perception by altering somatosensory integration
This study investigated how Parkinson's disease alters haptic perception and the underlying
mechanisms of somatosensory and sensorimotor integration. Changes in haptic sensitivity …

Modelling the effects of age-related morphological and mechanical skin changes on the stimulation of tactile mechanoreceptors
Our sense of fine touch deteriorates as we age, a phenomenon typically associated with
neurological changes to the skin. However, geometric and material changes to the skin may …

Cognitive map formation in the blind is enhanced by three-dimensional tactile information
For blind individuals, tactile maps are useful tools to form cognitive maps through touch.
However, they still experience challenges in cognitive map formation and independent …
