Somatosensation: Touching the mind’s fingers
Whether mental operations can be reduced to the biological properties of the brain has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike for millennia. New microstimulation experiments on awake, behaving monkeys establish causality between activity of specialized cortical neurons and a controlled behavior.
متن کاملOn the Somatosensation of Vision
The interconnection between vision and somatosensation is already well-established and is further supplemented by the evolutionary link between eyes and photoreceptors, and the functional connection between photosensation and thermoreception. However, our analysis shows that the relation between vision and somatosensation is much deeper and suggests that somatosensation may possibly be the basi...
متن کاملThe vision of Hsiao on somatosensation.
The goal of this review is to start to consolidate and distill the substantial body of research that comprises the published work of the late Professor Steven S. Hsiao. The studies of Hsiao began by demonstrating the receptive field properties of somatosensory neurons, progressed to describing cortical feature selectivity, and then eventually elevated the field to hopes of tapping into natural ...
متن کاملSomatosensation: Putting Touch On the Map
A new study takes a significant step towards uncovering the mechanisms that put tactile events on the brain's spatial map by establishing a causal link between attention-related parietal alpha oscillatory activity and the external spatial coding of touch.
متن کاملTouching the Physical World
I would like to propose going beyond the tactile experience and extend the tangibility to other senses. Imagine a way to interact with an information environment and explore multiple layers of time and space. Spatial exploration is immersive and multidimensional. So, instead of using only a finger as input, the full body acts as pivot point to produce augmented realities, blending the cyberspac...
