Cell-type-specific nicotinic input disinhibits mouse barrel cortex during active sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Célia Roxane Gasselin, Benoît Hohl

Fast synaptic transmission relies upon the activation of ionotropic receptors by neurotransmitter release to evoke postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate and GABA play dominant roles in driving highly dynamic activity in synaptically connected neuronal circuit ...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Masayuki Hara, Matteo Franza

There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However, the increased use of such hands-off displays is currently not matched with or supported by systematic perce ...

Soft Touch using Soft Pneumatic Actuator-Skin as a Wearable Haptic Feedback Device

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Jian-Lin Huang

Understanding the external environment depends heavily on vision, audition, and touch. Like vision and audition, the human sense of touch is complex. Tactile perception is composed of multiple fundamental and physical experiences felt as changes in stiffne ...

The Role of Hub Neurons in Modulating Cortical Dynamics

Henry Markram, Oren Amsalem, Idan Segev, Eyal Gal, Michael London

Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with the death of specific neuron types in particular brain regions. What makes the death of specific neuron types particularly harmful for the integrity and dynamics of the respective network is not well unde ...

Sensorimotor conflicts induce somatic passivity and louden quiet voices in healthy listeners

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic

Sensorimotor conflicts are known to alter the perception of accompanying sensory signals, and deficits in sensory attenuation have been observed in schizophrenia. In the auditory domain, self-generated tones or voices (compared to tones or voices presented ...

Sprawling Quadruped Robot Driven by Decentralized Control With Cross-Coupled Sensory Feedback Between Legs and Trunk

Auke Ijspeert, Shura Suzuki

Quadruped animals achieve agile and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail, that is, body-limb coordination. This study aims to understand the sensorimotor control und ...

Online morphological adaptation for tactile sensing augmentation

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Sensor morphology and structure has the ability to significantly aid and improve tactile sensing capabilities, through mechanisms such as improved sensitivity or morphological computation. However, different tactile tasks require different morphologies pos ...

Bioinspired Liquid Metal Based Sensing System For Compliance Detection

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Furfaro, Haotian Chen

In this paper, we report a fully stretchable liquid metal based sensor system for compliance detection. The system is composed of a strain sensor layer, a gap layer with a hole in the center and a pressure sensor layer from top to bottom. Inspired from the ...
