When you pick up a balloon, the pressure to keep hold of it is different from what you would exert to grasp a jar. And now engineers at MIT and elsewhere have a way to precisely measure and map such ...

Bilateral stimulation involves using visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli in a rhythmic side-to-side pattern, and is ...

In embryonic stages, tactile stimuli simultaneously activate tactile and visual neural pathways. Shortly after birth, both pathways reorganize to allow separate processing of touch and vision. Waves ...

The understanding of the ways in which cows with different personalities perceive human contact is essential for improving the quality of the human-animal relationship and therefore the welfare of ...

Schematics of the tactile systems. (A) Schematics of the human and artificial tactile systems. (B) Examples of the functions of tactile systems. (Image: KIMM) The research team developed a real-time ...

A new tactile glove could help regain motor function after stroke and enhance virtual gaming experiences. When you pick up a balloon, the pressure to keep hold of it is different from what you would ...
