To understand how we perceive the world around us, illusions have been used to gain
insight into our perceptual systems. The most common types of illusions studied are visual …

Human imaging studies have reported activations associated with tactile motion perception
in visual motion area V5/hMT+, primary somatosensory cortex (SI) and posterior parietal …

Whenever we move the hand across a surface, tactile signals provide information about the
relative velocity between the skin and the surface. If the system were able to integrate the …

Eighteen younger and older adults (mean ages were 20.4 and 72.8 years, respectively)
participated in a tactile speed matching task. On any given trial, the participants felt the …

Interactions with the world and between our own body parts often result in motion across the
skin, and sensory processing of this motion is of interest to both basic and applied …

After prolonged exposure to a surface moving across the skin, this felt movement appears
slower, a phenomenon known as the tactile speed aftereffect (tSAE). We asked which …

Psychophysical visual experiments have shown illusory motion reversal (IMR), in which the
perceived direction of motion is the opposite of its actual direction. The tactile form of this …

We investigated the effects of adaptation to 2 min of tactile apparent motion along the
proximo-distal axis of the finger pad, produced with a vibrotactile array (Optacon), and …

An age-old hypothesis proposes that object motion across the receptor surface organizes
sensory maps (Lotze, 19th century). Skin patches learn their relative positions from the order …
