Sharing numerous characteristics with suppression in the other senses, tactile suppression
is a reliable phenomenon that accompanies movement. By investigating the simplest of …

Prediction allows humans and other animals to prepare for future interactions with their
environment. This is important in our dynamically changing world that requires fast and …

The ability to sample sensory information with our hands is crucial for smooth and efficient
interactions with the world. Despite this important role of touch, tactile sensations on a …

In recent years haptics has received considerable attention from the field of Human-
Computer Interactions (HCI) for its potential to provide more tangible and immersive …

In recent decades, research on somatosensory perception has led to two important
observations. First, self-generated touches that are predicted by voluntary movements …

Dominant motor control theories propose that the brain predicts and attenuates the
somatosensory consequences of actions, referred to as somatosensory attenuation. Support …

Peripersonal space is a multisensory representation relying on the processing of tactile and
visual stimuli presented on and close to different body parts. The most studied peripersonal …

The perception of tactile stimuli presented on a moving hand is systematically suppressed.
Such suppression has been attributed to the limited capacity of the brain to process task …

Somatosensory signals on a moving limb are typically suppressed. This results mainly from
a predictive mechanism that generates an efference copy, and attenuates the predicted …

Tactile suppression refers to the phenomenon that tactile signals are attenuated during
movement planning and execution when presented on a moving limb compared to rest. It is …
