Starting from human¿ sense of touch,¿ this paper reviews the state of tactile sensing in
robotics. The physiology, coding, and transferring tactile data and perceptual importance of …

Brains, it has recently been argued, are essentially prediction machines. They are bundles
of cells that support perception and action by constantly attempting to match incoming …

To achieve human-level dexterity, robots must infer spatial awareness from multimodal
sensing to reason over contact interactions. During in-hand manipulation of novel objects …

Manipulating a virtual object with appropriate passive haptic cues provides a satisfying
sense of presence in virtual reality. However, scaling such experiences to support multiple …

In virtual reality, the lack of kinesthetic feedback often prevents users from experiencing the
weight of virtual objects. Control-to-display (C/D) ratio manipulation has been proposed as a …

Although much traditional sensory research has studied each sensory modality in isolation,
there has been a recent explosion of interest in causal interplay between different senses …

In The Unity of Consciousness Tim Bayne draws on philosophy, psychology, and
neuroscience in defence of the claim that consciousness is unified. In the first part of the …

How we estimate uncertainty is important in decision neuroscience and has wide-ranging
implications in basic and clinical neuroscience, from computational models of optimality to …

Several studies have shown that adults integrate visual and haptic information (and
information from other modalities) in a statistically optimal fashion, weighting each sense …

Multisensory integration involves a host of different cognitive processes, occurring at
different stages of sensory processing. Here I argue that, despite recent insights suggesting …
