We explore interactions enabled by 2D spatial manipulation and self-actuation of a tabletop
shape display. To explore these interactions, we developed shapeShift, a compact, high …

It is known that roughness-smoothness, hardness-softness, stickiness-slipperiness and
warm-cold are predominant perceptual dimensions in macro-, micro-and nano-texture …

Purpose As the prevalence of age-related visual impairment increases, a greater
understanding of the physiological and cognitive capacities that are recruited during braille …

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) often present with variable symptoms, making them difficult
to diagnose, treat, and monitor. When neurologic compromise is inadequately assessed …

Conscious experiences are characterized by mental qualities, such as those involved in
seeing red, feeling pain, or smelling cinnamon. The standard framework for modeling mental …

Surface I/O is a novel interface approach that functionalizes the exterior surface of devices to
provide haptic and touch sensing without dedicated mechanical components. Achieving this …

Oral tactile sensitivity is logically linked to food texture perception. However, there is
currently no widely accepted method to determine oral tactile sensitivity, particularly in …

Tactile, motor and cognitive capacities decline with age, but little is known about how this
relates to braille reading outcomes. This study investigated correlates of braille reading …

Intracortical mapping in monkeys revealed a full body map in all four cytoarchitectonic
subdivisions of the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1), as well as positive …

A wearable tactile display needs to be compact and lightweight, and ideally should be able
to present vibration, force, and temperature information to the hand. In many contexts …
