Short-Term Visual Deprivation, Tactile Acuity, and Haptic Solid Shape Discrimination
Previous psychophysical studies have reported conflicting results concerning the effects of short-term visual deprivation upon tactile acuity. Some studies have found that 45 to 90 minutes of total light deprivation produce significant improvements in participants' tactile acuity as measured with a grating orientation discrimination task. In contrast, a single 2011 study found no such improveme...
متن کاملShort-Term Visual Deprivation Does Not Enhance Passive Tactile Spatial Acuity
An important unresolved question in sensory neuroscience is whether, and if so with what time course, tactile perception is enhanced by visual deprivation. In three experiments involving 158 normally sighted human participants, we assessed whether tactile spatial acuity improves with short-term visual deprivation over periods ranging from under 10 to over 110 minutes. We used an automated, prec...
متن کاملTactile Flow and Haptic Discrimination of Softness
Haptic perception involves both cutaneous perception, through mechanoreceptors lying on the skin, and kinaesthetic perception mediated by the position of the fingers. Analogously, artificial devices should replicate both these perceptual channels, as well. While kinesthetic information is satisfactorily replicated by current technology, cutaneous information is still a challenging task to be pr...

متن کاملCrossmodal short-term memory of haptic and visual information.
Rhesus monkeys were trained on a within-subjects design to assess whether they could perform concurrently visual-to-haptic (V-H) and haptic-to-visual (H-V) crossmodal delayed matching-to-sample (DMS). A parametric analysis was conducted of the effect of delay between presentation and re-presentation of the test discriminanda (three-dimensional geometric objects). The results indicate that (a) m...
