This study investigates the role of Aβ-afferents in pleasant touch by comparing vibrotactile and brush stroking, finding that pleasantness follows an inverted-U curve and is influenced by velocity inference.

The paper shows tactile surface perception is not fixed but dynamically adjusted based on functional demands and visual experience.

The study investigates how the frequency spectrum of complex vibrotactile signals affects human perception, finding that missing low-frequency tones are more detectable than higher ones.

This study shows that training with a visual-to-auditory conversion device leads to perceptual plasticity, with performance influenced by both visual and auditory processes.

This paper introduces a method to measure skin-to-skin touch by detecting tactile waves using an accelerometer, showing sensitivity to touch tonicity and speed.
