The paper shows that motor prediction reduces beta-band power and increases cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch, enabling its sensory attenuation.

The paper shows that perceived touch intensity decreases during hand reaching movements toward self-touch and recovers afterward, highlighting the role of motor predictions in somatosensory perception.

The paper demonstrates that action attenuates rather than enhances predicted touch, challenging recent theories that propose the opposite.

The paper investigates whether aging increases somatosensory attenuation and finds no significant increase in elderly participants, challenging previous claims of a direct relationship.

This study finds that higher positive schizotypal traits are linked to reduced somatosensory attenuation and precision for self-generated touch.

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.
