Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Kim Do, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Manuel Mercier, Pierre Progin, Wenwen Chang

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

Anatomically and functionally distinct thalamocortical inputs to primary and secondary mouse whisker somatosensory cortices

Carl Petersen, Georgios Foustoukos, Sami El-Boustani, Berat Semihcan Sermet

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking. Here, we us ...

Closed-Loop Haptic Feedback Control Using a Self-Sensing Soft Pneumatic Actuator Skin

Stéphanie Lacour, Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Aaron Powers Gerratt

In this article, we achieve a closed-loop control over haptic feedback, first time for an entirely soft platform. We prototyped a novel self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) with soft strain sensors, called SPA-skin, which withstands large multiaxial ...

Biomimetic Intraneural Sensory Feedback Enhances Sensation Naturalness, Tactile Sensitivity, and Manual Dexterity in a Bidirectional Prosthesis

Silvestro Micera, Giulio Rognini, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Iberite, Edoardo D'Anna

Peripheral intraneural stimulation can provide tactile information to amputees. However, efforts are still necessary to identify encoding strategy eliciting percepts that are felt as both natural and effective for prosthesis control. Here we compared the n ...

Improving the control of prosthetic hands with tactile sensing

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Despite recent advances in prostheses, intuitive and robust control of poly-articulated prosthetic hands remains an unsolved problem. The TACT-HAND project aims at providing hand amputees with improved dexterous capabilities by exploiting tactile sensing a ...

Peripersonal Space: An Index of Multisensory Body–Environment Interactions in Real, Virtual, and Mixed Realities

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Fosco Bernasconi, Jean-Paul Noel, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Robin Mange, Elisa Pellencin

Human–environment interactions normally occur in the physical milieu and thus by medium of the body and within the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body, the peripersonal space (PPS). However, human interactions increasingly occur with or ...

Unconscious integration of multisensory bodily inputs in the peripersonal space shapes bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel, Marta Lukowska

Recent studies have highlighted the role of multisensory integration as a key mechanism of self-consciousness. In particular, integration of bodily signals within the peripersonal space (PPS) underlies the experience of the self in a body we own (self-iden ...

Interactive soft pneumatic actuator skin

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Harshal Arun Sonar, Sagar Dattatray Joshi

The interactive soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) skin is a soft wearable device with integrated actuation and sensing. The SPA skin is a flat flexible patch that can be worn on the body, consisting of a 2-D matrix with independent actuation and sensing elemen ...
