Orientation processing is one of the most fundamental functions in both visual and
somatosensory perception. Converging findings suggest that orientation processing in both …

Visual input powerfully modulates the dynamics of tactile orientation perception. This study
investigated the transfer of the tilt aftereffect (TAE) from vision to somatosensation. In a visual …

Orientation information contributes substantially to our tactile perception, such as feeling an
object's shape on the skin. For vision, a perceptual adaptation aftereffect (tilt aftereffect; …

In a reaction time study of human tactile orientation detection the effects of spatial attention
and feature-based attention were investigated. Subjects had to give speeded responses to …

The spatial context in which we view a visual stimulus strongly determines how we perceive
the stimulus. In the visual tilt illusion, the perceived orientation of a visual grating is affected …

Following focal sensory adaptation, the perceived separation between visual stimuli that
straddle the adapted region is often exaggerated. For instance, in the tilt aftereffect illusion …

Interactions with objects involve simultaneous contact with multiple, not necessarily
adjacent, skin regions. Although advances have been made in understanding the capacity …

The stage at which processing of tactile distance occurs is still debated. We addressed this
issue by implementing an adaptation-aftereffect paradigm with passive touch. We …

The tilt aftereffect (TAE) is a visual illusion in which prolonged adaptation to an oriented
stimulus causes shifts in subsequent perceived orientations. Historically, neural models of …

It is well known that information on stimulus orientation plays an important role in sensory
processing. However, the neural mechanisms underlying somatosensory orientation …
