Background Vision and haptics are the key modalities by which humans perceive objects
and interact with their environment in a target-oriented manner. Both modalities share higher …

Our movements are shaped by our perception of the world as communicated by our senses.
Perception of sensory information has been largely attributed to cortical activity. However, a …

Background Evaluation of the anterior neck anatomy is used to identify the cricothyroid
membrane (CTM) before front of neck airway access. This has been traditionally performed …

Extensive use of sensorimotor properties has been shown to lead to use-dependent
plasticity in the human motor cortex as well as sensory areas. The sensory consequences of …

We investigate the formation and maintenance of ordered topographic maps in the primary
somatosensory cortex as well as the reorganization of representations after sensory …

Die Haptik bietet in einer optisch und akustisch überreizten und immer stärker technisierten
Welt einzigartiges Wirkpotenzial für Markenkommunikation, Produktdesign und Verkauf. Olaf …

It has been suggested that our brain re-uses body-based computations to localize touch on
tools, but the neural implementation of this process remains unclear. Neural oscillations in …

The Detection Response Task (DRT) is an applied measure of the attentive effects of
cognitive load and is evaluated in terms of sensitivity, reliability, and validity. Three DRT …

Tactile acuity measured by 2-point discrimination performance is impaired in patients with
complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I). This is mirrored by pain-associated …

All tissues of the human body contain sensory cells that are sensitive to mechanical stimuli
(mechanoreceptors). Depending on their localization, mechanoreceptors register either …
