Computational modeling indicates that surface pressure can be reliably conveyed to tactile receptors even amidst changes in skin mechanics

“Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed, but Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced”: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies in schizophrenia-can white matter changes be reliably detected with VBM?

Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is a hypothesis-free, whole-brain, voxel-by-voxel analytic method that attempts to compare imaging data between populations. Schizophrenia studies have utilized this method to localize differences in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) derived fractional anisotropy (FA), a measure of white matter integrity, between patients and healthy controls. The number of publicatio...

Stimulating Skin Receptors for Tactile Display

recognized the need for more realistic tactile display in addition to touch and non-touch display and force display. Researchers have proposed various mechanisms of pin or vibrator arrays to present the sensations of 3D local shapes, fine textures, and slippage of grasped objects. Watanabe demonstrated an interesting method of controlling surface roughness using ultrasonic vibration. In all the...
