Human skin wetness perception: psychophysical and neurophysiological bases
The ability to perceive thermal changes in the surrounding environment is critical for survival. However, sensing temperature is not the only factor among the cutaneous sensations to contribute to thermoregulatory responses in humans. Sensing skin wetness (i.e. hygrosensation) is also critical both for behavioral and autonomic adaptations. Although much has been done to define the biophysical r...
متن کاملWhy Wet Feels Wet? An Investigation Into the Neurophysiology of Human Skin Wetness Perception
Page ii ABSTRACT The ability to sense humidity and wetness is an important sensory attribute for many species across the animal kingdom, including humans. Although this sensory ability plays an important role in many human physiological and behavioural functions, as humans’ largest sensory organ i.e. the skin seems not to be provided with specific receptors for the sensation of wetness (i.e. hy...
متن کاملThe role of decreasing contact temperatures and skin cooling in the perception of skin wetness.
Cold sensations are suggested as the primary inducer of the perception of skin wetness. However, limited data are available on the effects of skin cooling. Hence, we investigated the role of peripheral cold afferents in the perception of wetness. Six cold-dry stimuli (producing skin cooling rates in a range of 0.02-0.41°C/s) were applied on the forearm of 9 female participants. Skin temperature...

متن کاملContour integration : Psychophysical , neurophysiological and computational perspectives
One of the important roles of our visual system is to detect and segregate objects. Neurons in the early visual system extract local image features from the visual scene. To combine these features into separate, global objects, the visual system must perform some kind of grouping operation. One such operation is contour integration. Contours form the outlines of objects, and are the first step ...
