Internally simulated movement sensations during motor imagery activate cortical motor areas and the cerebellum
E Naito, T Kochiyama, R Kitada… - Journal of …, 2002 - Soc Neuroscience
It has been proposed that motor imagery contains an element of sensory experiences (kinesthetic
sensations), which is a substitute for the sensory feedback that would normally arise …

Brain networks involved in haptic and visual identification of facial expressions of emotion: an fMRI study
Previous neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown that a cortical network
involving the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), inferior parietal lobe (IPL) and cortical areas in and …

Cross-cultural similarity in relationship-specific social touching
Many species use touching for reinforcing social structures, and particularly, non-human
primates use social grooming for managing their social networks. However, it is still unclear …

Multisensory activation of the intraparietal area when classifying grating orientation: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study
Humans can judge grating orientation by touch. Previous studies indicate that the extrastriate
cortex is involved in tactile orientation judgments, suggesting that this area is related to …

Haptic roughness perception of linear gratings via bare finger or rigid probe
The magnitude of perceived roughness was haptically estimated as subjects freely explored
linear gratings with either the bare finger or a rigid stylus-shaped probe. A considerably …

[HTML][HTML] Tactile perception of pleasantness in relation to perceived softness
A Pasqualotto, M Ng, ZY Tan, R Kitada - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
The sense of touch allows us to infer objects’ physical properties, while the same input also
produces affective sensations. These affective sensations are important for interpersonal …
