In this study, we investigated the effect of input voltage waveform on our haptic perception of
electrovibration on touch screens. Through psychophysical experiments performed with …

Background: Mechanoreceptors in the skin provide sensory input for the central nervous
system about foot placement and loading. This information is used by the brain to actively …

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

The cortical dynamics of somatosensory processing can be investigated using vibrotactile
psychophysics. It has been suggested that different vibrotactile paradigms target different …

Introduction Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment
neuropathy, which causes numbness and pain in the thumb, the index and middle fingers …

The perceived intensity of electrovibration can be altered by modulating the amplitude,
frequency, and waveform of the input voltage signal applied to the conductive layer of a …

The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The
project aims to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot capabilities based on the …

Tactile acuity is known to decline with age in adults, possibly as the result of receptor loss,
but less is understood about how tactile acuity changes during childhood. Previous research …

The development of somatosensation and affective touch acquires a central role throughout
our lives, for several reasons. In adults, these functions are driven by different …

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