The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

Abstract Stroking touch has been shown to be most pleasant at intermediate velocities of 1-10 cm.s −1 , which relates well to the activity of C-low threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs), also called C-tactile afferents in humans, that have been implicated in encoding positive affe...

Skin feel in the brain: Oscillatory dynamics of active touch are modulated by commercial soap products.

Previous research has demonstrated changes in neural oscillations associated with varying levels of roughness during active-touch exploration of surfaces. In the present study, we aimed to investigate changes in neural oscillatory activity and softness perception during touch exp...
