The paper shows that spatial tactile cues improve motor accuracy and stability during sensory conflict by enhancing visuosomatosensory integration.

This paper develops a hybrid algorithm for 2D shape similarity that outperforms geometric and feature-based methods by combining global and local features without requiring training data.

The paper shows athletes with vertiginous training and patients with vestibular loss both show neural plasticity, but athletes have enhanced tactile-brain coupling without balance issues.

The paper investigates how movement sonification during haptic exploration affects emotional perception without altering texture appraisal, showing changes in cortical excitability.

This study shows that tactile cues influence hand movement control, with reduced performance when tactile sensation is dampened, highlighting touch's role in movement accuracy.

The paper investigates how visual feedback of tactile stimulation improves the perception of velvet fabric, finding that dynamic visual cues enhance the realism of the tactile experience.

This study shows that a biomimetic surface improves somatosensory responses and reduces cortical oscillations during balance recovery, suggesting enhanced postural control.

This study examines how seeing the hand versus a tool affects somatosensory and visual cortex activity during mirror vision tracing tasks, finding greater somatosensory conflict and cortical adjustments in the hand group.

This study investigates how rarely viewed body parts are spatially encoded using exteroceptive body representations, finding that sensorimotor processes enhance visual body representations for these areas.

The paper shows that patients with bilateral vestibular loss have heightened somatosensory cortex responses to plantar tactile inputs and use a tactile-based control strategy for balance.
