The paper shows humans adjust touch strategies based on perceptual goals, with different physical signals supporting texture perception.

This study uses a biomechanical model to show that collagen anisotropy is essential for accurately simulating fingertip strain patterns during normal loading.

The paper quantifies fingertip skin deformation under tangential loading using 3D imaging, showing most deformation occurs in out-of-contact regions and exhibits directional asymmetry and wrinkling.

This study investigates how individual fingerprint ridges deform during tactile interactions and finds that ridge flanks and their relative movement, rather than overall bending, are the primary sources of deformation and potential neural responses.

This paper develops a 3-D DIC setup to study fingertip deformation during contact initiation, revealing rapid skin deformation and friction's role in partial slip.

The paper introduces a new device to image finger pad skin deformation during manipulation and reports low correlations between skin strain and grip force adaptation across participants.

The paper shows that gravity affects the perception of tangential forces during manual tasks, creating a haptic illusion where downward forces are overestimated compared to upward forces.

This study investigates how finger pad skin deforms under torsional forces during partial slippage, revealing how normal force and angular velocity affect strain and slip patterns.

The paper develops a device to measure fingerpad skin deformations during active object manipulation and shows that grip force influences skin strains and strain rates.

The paper shows humans adapt grip force to friction changes within 370ms by using skin deformation patterns detected by mechanoreceptive afferents.

The paper decodes edge orientation from tactile nerve fiber spiking activity and shows spatial coding can be fast and accurate for object manipulation.
