Haptic object perception: spatial dimensionality and relation to vision.
Enabled by the remarkable dexterity of the human hand, specialized haptic exploration is a hallmark of object perception by touch. Haptic exploration normally takes place in a spatial world that is three-dimensional; nevertheless, stimuli of reduced spatial dimensionality are also used to display spatial information. This paper examines the consequences of full (three-dimensional) versus reduce...
متن کاملNoninformative Vision Improves Haptic Spatial Perception
Previous studies have attempted to map somatosensory space via haptic matching tasks and have shown that individuals make large and systematic matching errors, the magnitude and angular direction of which vary systematically through the workspace. Based upon such demonstrations, it has been suggested that haptic space is non-Euclidian. This conclusion assumes that spatial perception is modality...
متن کاملHaptic perception of spatial relations.
There are some indications that haptic space like visual space is not Euclidean (e.g. Blumenfeld, 1937 Acta Psychologica 2 125-174). In a series of experiments, we investigated the haptic perception of spatial relations in a systematic way. We restricted ourselves to a horizontal plane at waist height. Blindfolded subjects were asked to perform three tasks with their right hand: (i) a reference...
متن کاملSpatial imagery in haptic shape perception.
We have proposed that haptic activation of the shape-selective lateral occipital complex (LOC) reflects a model of multisensory object representation in which the role of visual imagery is modulated by object familiarity. Supporting this, a previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study from our laboratory used inter-task correlations of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sig...
متن کاملAuditory Spatial Perception without Vision
Valuable insights into the role played by visual experience in shaping spatial representations can be gained by studying the effects of visual deprivation on the remaining sensory modalities. For instance, it has long been debated how spatial hearing evolves in the absence of visual input. While several anecdotal accounts tend to associate complete blindness with exceptional hearing abilities, ...
