The paper investigates tactile long-term memory retrieval, finding increased somatosensory cortex and hippocampal activity during successful recognition of learned vibrotactile patterns.

This study shows that online anodal tDCS of the left PPC improves tactile working memory accuracy over time, with larger benefits for lower baseline performers.

The paper compares ERP components predicting conscious perception under tactile vs. electrical somatosensory stimulation, finding P50 predicts tactile detection but not electrical.

This study uses fMRI and MVPA to decode how grip-force intensity is represented in the brain during working memory, showing distinct patterns in vmPFC and motor areas.

This study investigates how rhythmic flicker light stimulation affects thalamocortical connectivity and visual hallucinations in healthy participants.

This study uses flicker light stimulation and fMRI to show that it increases thalamocortical connectivity between LGN, visual areas, and higher-order thalamic nuclei, correlating with visual hallucination intensity.

The paper investigates how the human amygdala processes aversive stimuli on artificial limbs using fMRI in VR, finding enhanced amygdala activation for aversive stimuli with stronger multisensory integration.

The paper investigates how respiration and heartbeat influence tactile perception by analyzing timing of stimulation during the cardiac cycle and its effects on detection rates.

This paper introduces a method to assess hypoperfusion in stroke using spatial independent component analysis of resting-state fMRI data, identifying hypoperfusion components that correlate with delayed perfusion and reperfusion.

The paper compares two event-related potentials in a somatosensory task to determine if they reflect perception or task demands, finding that the P300 is task-dependent and not a reliable marker of awareness.

This study examines brain activity and network changes during conscious vs. unconscious tactile perception using fMRI, finding increased BOLD activity in specific regions but no significant changes in whole-brain network metrics.

This study identifies two heartbeat-related modulations of somatosensory perception and evoked potentials using electroencephalography, showing how internal signals influence conscious perception.
