Localization of tactile stimuli depends on conscious detection.
Neurological reports of "tactile blindsight" suggest that the human somatosensory system can extract behaviorally useful information about the location of a tactile stimulus in the absence of conscious awareness that the stimulus occurred (Paillard et al., 1983; Rossetti et al., 1995). However, in a series of psychophysical experiments with neurologically intact subjects, we found no evidence f...
متن کاملDissociating detection from localization of tactile stimuli.
In what they described as "a tactile analog of blindsight," Paillard et al. (1983) reported the case of a woman with damage to the left parietal cortex who was profoundly impaired in detecting tactile stimuli but could nonetheless correctly identify their location (also Rossetti et al., 1995). This stands in direct contrast to reports of neurological patients who were unable to accurately locat...
متن کاملPerceived duration of Visual and Tactile Stimuli Depends on Perceived Speed
IT IS KNOWN THAT THE PERCEIVED DURATION OF VISUAL STIMULI IS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY SPEED: faster moving stimuli appear to last longer. To test whether this is a general property of sensory systems we asked participants to reproduce the duration of visual and tactile gratings, and visuo-tactile gratings moving at a variable speed (3.5-15 cm/s) for three different durations (400, 600, and 800 ms...
متن کاملColorful Tactile Stimuli. Association Between Colors and Tactile-Display Stimuli on Russell's Psychological Plane
Supplementing the presentation of colors with tactile displays has yet to be developed. This study used Russell’s affective plane to investigate the association between the rainbow colors and vibrotactile and variable-friction stimuli presented as tactile displays. A user study indicated that high-frequency and rhythmical tactile stimuli that were perceived as arousing were suitable for present...
متن کاملNociceptive Detection Probability Depends on the Temporal Properties of Electrocutaneous Stimuli
Electrical stimulation of the skin using a needle-electrode specifically activates nociceptive nerve fibres. The detection of such stimuli by subjects depends on the activation of subsequent nociceptive mechanisms. Activation of these mechanisms depends on the temporal stimulus properties, such as the pulse-width, number of pulses, and inter-pulse interval. This different activation of nocicept...
