1. 11. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand

   Författare :Ronnie Lundström; Ludwik Liszka; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vibration; hand; skin; mechanical impedance; mechanoreceptors; tactile perception; high-frequency;

   Sammanfattning : An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neurological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibration syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. LÄS MER

3. 12. Auditory and Olfactory Abilities in Blind and Sighted Individuals : More Similarities than Differences

   Författare :Stina Cornell Kärnekull; Maria Larsson; Mats E Nilsson; Johan Willander; Fredrik U Jönsson; Johannes Frasnelli; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; absolute threshold; audition; autobiographical memory; blindness; discrimination; episodic recognition; identification; imagery; judgments of learning; memory; metacognition; olfaction; onset age of blindness; reminiscence bump; sensory compensation; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Blind individuals face various challenges in everyday life because of the lack of visual input. However, since they need to rely on the non-visual senses for everyday tasks, for instance, when navigating the environment, the question has been raised as to whether perceptual and cognitive abilities in these senses may be enhanced.

4. 13. The Perception and Evaluation of Pleasant Touch and the Development of "Satiety" for Hedonic Tactile Experiences

   Författare :Chantal Triscoli; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Pleasant touch; CT afferents; Top-down mechanisms; Satiety; Liking; Wanting;

   Sammanfattning : Pleasant touch is a hedonic experience and one of the most powerful means for social bonding and for communicating affection. Touch similar to a human caress is detected by the “C tactile (CT) afferents”, a class of mechanoreceptors which respond preferentially to stroking velocities between 1 and 10 cm/s. LÄS MER

5. 14. Enhancing geometric maps through environmental interactions

   Författare :Sergio Caccamo; Danica Kragic; Petter Ögren; Robin Murphy; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Gaussian Processes Robotics UGV Active perception geometric maps; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning : The deployment of rescue robots in real operations is becoming increasingly commonthanks to recent advances in AI technologies and high performance hardware. Rescue robots can now operate for extended period of time, cover wider areas andprocess larger amounts of sensory information making them considerably more usefulduring real life threatening situations, including both natural or man-made disasters.

7. 15. Body perception and brain plasticity in blind and sighted individuals

   Författare :Dominika Radziun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Lack of vision is associated with large-scale brain plasticity. Vision, touch, proprioception, interoception, and other sensory modalities are thought to play a vital role in developing and maintaining bodily awareness. LÄS MER
