A neural surveyor to map touch on the body.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Perhaps the most recognizable sensory map in all of neuroscience is the somatosensory homunculus. Although it seems straightforward, this simple representation belies the complex link between an activation in a somatotopic map and the associated touc...

RoMAT: Robot for Multisensory Analysis and Testing of visual-tactile perceptual functions.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The present work aims to introduce a novel robotic platform suitable for investigating perception in multi-sensory motion tasks for individuals with and without sensory and motor disabilities. The system, called RoMAT, allows the study of how multise...

Rapid Recalibration of Peri-Personal Space: Psychophysical, Electrophysiological, and Neural Network Modeling Evidence.

Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991)
Interactions between individuals and the environment occur within the peri-personal space (PPS). The encoding of this space plastically adapts to bodily constraints and stimuli features. However, these remapping effects have not been demonstrated on ...

Towards Universal Haptic Library: Library-Based Haptic Texture Assignment Using Image Texture and Perceptual Space.

IEEE transactions on haptics
In this paper, we focused on building a universal haptic texture models library and automatic assignment of haptic texture models to any given surface from the library based on image features. It is shown that a relationship exists between perceived ...

Haptic Feedback for Control and Active Constraints in Contactless Laser Surgery: Concept, Implementation, and Evaluation.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Haptics has proven to be highly beneficial in surgical robotics, bringing enhanced safety and precision by complementing the surgeon's visual channel. However, most of the research body in this context is dedicated to applications involving tradition...

Robo-Psychophysics: Extracting Behaviorally Relevant Features from the Output of Sensors on a Prosthetic Finger.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Efforts are underway to restore sensorimotor function in amputees and tetraplegic patients using anthropomorphic robotic hands. For this approach to be clinically viable, sensory signals from the hand must be relayed back to the patient. To convey ta...
