Neuroscientific basis for haptic interaction: Actual results and publications (WP2)

Technion Haifa: Subliminal cues in haptics

A famous phenomenon in visual perception is known as subliminal perception. Subjects are not aware of seeing an object, yet behavior indicates that subjects have some knowledge of the object, although they testify of no perception. Technion investigated if there is a similar phenomenon in virtual haptic feedback. [read more...]
Max-Planck-Institut Tübingen: Tactile suppression - Reduced sensitivity during limb movement

MPS investigated the timeline of a phenomenon called “tactile suppression” where tactile sensitivity is decreased during an active limb-movement. [read more...]

Max-Planck-Institut Tübingen: Critical role of vision in adaptation to asynchronous multi-modal information

When combining real and virtual cues, imperfect synchronization will greatly diminish a user’s feeling of presence. Since perfect synchronization is not achievable, MPS planned to act on the human perceptual system in order to accustom it to these limitations. Given the correct conditions, perceived synchrony can be an adaptive process. [read more...]
