From Head to Toe: Efficient Somatosensory Mapping with Fast Stimulation and Multivariate Pattern Analysis

This study compares fast and slow somatosensory stimulation protocols using EEG and MVPA, finding that faster protocols reduce testing time without sacrificing interpretability and provide complementary insights into somatosensory mapping.

Limb assignment, not spatial remapping, underlies tactile crossing effects

The paper shows that tactile crossing effects arise from limb assignment errors, not spatial remapping, by demonstrating consistent performance impairment under external-spatial instructions.

The role of kinesthetic and visuospatial cues in pain-induced movement avoidance

This study investigates the role of kinesthetic and visuospatial cues in pain-induced movement avoidance by separating these cues in experimental contexts.

Modulation of implicitly perceived hand size by visuotactile recalibration

This paper shows that visuotactile recalibration can modulate implicitly perceived hand size, with congruent mappings leading to an enlarged perceived hand size.

Illusory tactile movement crosses arms and legs and is coded in external space

The paper shows humans perceive tactile stimuli as moving across body parts in external space, not just along anatomical boundaries, using a Bayesian model based on Euclidean distance.

Online sensory feedback during active search improves tactile localization

This study shows that tactile localization improves when participants actively search for a touch with feedback, but not when searching without feedback, highlighting the role of closed-loop sensory feedback.

Phantom limb pain intensity is associated with generalized hyperalgesia

This study investigates the relationship between phantom limb pain intensity and generalized hyperalgesia using quantitative sensory testing across multiple body sites.
