Tactile Perception in Upper Limb Prostheses: Mechanical Characterization, Human Experiments, and Computational Findings.

Tactile feedback is essential for upper-limb prostheses functionality and embodiment, yet its practical implementation presents challenges. Users must adapt to non-physiological signals, increasing cognitive load. However, some prosthetic devices transmit tactile information through socket vibrations, even to untrained individuals. Our experiments validated this observation, demonstrating a user's surprising ability to identify contacted fingers with a purely passive, cosmetic hand. Further experiments with advanced soft articulated hands revealed decreased performance in tactile information r

Widespread, perception-related information in the human brain scales with levels of consciousness.

How does the human brain generate coherent, subjective perceptions-transforming yellow and oblong visual sensory information into the perception of an edible banana? This is a hard problem. According to the standard viewpoint, processing in groups of dedicated regions-identified as active "blobs" when using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-gives rise to perception. Here, we reveal a new organizational concept by discovering that stimulus-specific information distributed throughout the whole brain. Using fMRI, we found stimulus-specific information across the neocortex, even in voxe…
