Phantom Tactile Sensations Modulated by Body Position
Bilateral activation of somatosensory areas after unilateral stimulation is assumed to be mediated by crosshemispheric connections. Despite evidence of bilateral activity in response to unilateral stimulation, neurologically intact humans do not experience bilateral percepts when stimulated on one side of the body. This may be due to active suppression of ipsilateral neural activity by inhibito...
متن کاملRelative Wnger position inXuences whether you can localize tactile stimuli
To investigate whether the relative positions of the Wngers inXuence tactile localization, participants were asked to localize tactile stimuli applied to their Wngertips. We measured the location and rate of errors for three Wnger conWgurations: Wngers stretched out and together so that they are touching each other, Wngers stretched out and spread apart maximally and Wngers stretched out with t...
متن کاملDynamic Tuning of Tactile Localization to Body Posture
Localizing touch in space is essential for goal-directed action. Because body posture changes, the brain must transform tactile coordinates from an initial skin-based representation to external space by integrating information about current posture. This process, referred to as tactile remapping, generally results in accurate localization, but accuracy drops when skin-based and external spatial...
متن کاملUsage Position and Virtual Keyboard Design Affect Upper-Body Kinematics, Discomfort, and Usability during Prolonged Tablet Typing.
PURPOSE The increase in tablet usage allows people to perform computer work in non-traditional office environments. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of changes in tablet keyboard design on postures of the upper extremities and neck, discomfort, and usability under different usage positions during prolonged touch-typing. METHODS Eighteen healthy participants familiar with touch-...
متن کاملRigid Body Localization Using Sensor Networks: Position and Orientation Estimation
In this paper, we propose a novel framework called rigid body localization for joint position and orientation estimation of a rigid body. We consider a setup in which a few sensors are mounted on a rigid body. The absolute position of the sensors on the rigid body, or the absolute position of the rigid body itself is not known. However, we know how the sensors are mounted on the rigid body, i.e...
