Touch provides an important cue to perceive the physical properties of the external objects. Recent studies showed that tactile sensation also contributes to our sense of hand position and displacement in perceptual tasks. In this…
— Touch provides important information on the physical properties of external objects, and contributes to the sense of our hand position and displacement in perceptual tasks. Recent studies showed that the texture of the touched…
Recent studies extended the classical view that touch is mainly devoted to the perception of the external world. Perceptual tasks where the hand was stationary demonstrated that cutaneous stimuli from contact with objects provide the…
The mechanical interaction between the skin and the environment is important in shaping our knowledge of object properties. In addition, the response of cutaneous mechanoreceptors also contributes to our sense of limb position and motion.…
The sense of touch plays an important role to build a perceptual representation of motion and space. This aspect deserves specific attention since it can guide the technological development of devices that can encode relevant…
