Omnidirectional strain sensing and direction recognition ability are features of the human tactile sense, essential to address the intricate and dynamic requirements of real-world applications. Most of the current strain sensors work by converting un...
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we chall...
Finger dexterity, and finger individuation in particular, is crucial for human movement, and disruptions due to brain injury can significantly impact quality of life. Understanding the neurological mechanisms responsible for recovery is vital for eff...
Human fingertip tactile perception relies on the activation of densely distributed tactile receptors to identify contact patterns in the brain. Despite significant efforts to integrate tactile sensors with machine learning algorithms for recognizing ...
