Passive and Active Touch – Preliminary Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TOUCH-HapSys collaborative project investigates the psychophysical basis of human tactual perception in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of haptic displays. The present deliverable reports on the progress made in investigations on the basic tactual modes of active and passive touch. In psychophysical experiments MPI-T started to examine the principles of cue integration for active touch in higher-level perceptual tasks. UNIPI investigates basic aspects of active and passive touch by a combination of psychophysical and fMRI studies. For this purpose specific fMRI procedures are required, that have been developed and tested. Moreover, research has been done contributing to the development of specific fMRI-compatible actuator and stimulation technology. Finally, LSC concentrates on the design of multilevel collocated cutaneous and kinaesthetic haptic display. This research exploits and requires knowledge on active vs. passive touch and allows for improved investigation of this topic. TOUCH-HapSys Passive and Active Touch – Preliminary Report 2

The relative timing of active and passive touch.
Tactile stimulation usually occurs as a combination of an active movement (reaching out to touch a surface) and a sensation (actually feeling the surface against the skin). The brain has information about the active component (the motor command) before it occurs because of efference copy, while the passive component must be transduced before it can be processed. Since the active and passive tac...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Visuotactile Interaction
Over the last few years, a growing number of IT devices have started to incorporate touch-screen technology in order to create more effective multimodal user interfaces. The use of such technology has opened up the possibility of presenting different kinds of tactile feedback (i.e., active vs. passive) to users. Here, we report 2 experiments designed to investigate the spatiotemporal constraint...
متن کاملAn fMRI study on cortical responses during active self-touch and passive touch from others
Active, self-touch and the passive touch from an external source engage comparable afferent mechanoreceptors on the touched skin site. However, touch directed to glabrous skin compared to hairy skin will activate different types of afferent mechanoreceptors. Despite perceptual similarities between touch to different body sites, it is likely that the touch information is processed differently. I...
متن کاملComparing the Role of Lateral Force During Active and Passive Touch: Lateral Force and its Correlates are Inherently Ambiguous Cues for Shape Perception under Passive Touch Conditions
Lateral forces are important cues for shape perception through active touch [1,2]. They can elicit illusory haptic shapes, or perceptually transform the shape of physical objects [1]. Here, it is shown that lateral force, and correlates such as acceleration and velocity, are inherently ambiguous as shape cues under passive touch conditions. The lateral forces arising when passively touching obj...
متن کاملVoluntary self-touch increases body ownership
Experimental manipulations of body ownership have indicated that multisensory integration is central to forming bodily self-representation. Voluntary self-touch is a unique multisensory situation involving corresponding motor, tactile and proprioceptive signals. Yet, even though self-touch is frequent in everyday life, its contribution to the formation of body ownership is not well understood. ...
