  1. 11. Measuring the tactile sense: Cortical mechanisms and clinical applications of tactile direction discrimination

    Författare :Linda Lundblad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :AIC; diabetic neuropathy; DLPFC; fMRI; hairy skin; psychophysics; QST testing; somatosensory cortex; tactile direction discrimination;

    Sammanfattning : Most of the studies aiming to investigate the human tactile sense are done on the glabrous skin. Still, there is a need for a quantitative method for evaluating nervous function of the hairy skin. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Tactile Sensory Control of Dexterous Manipulation in Humans

    Författare :Ingvars Birznieks; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; cutaneous sensibility; tactile afferents; fingertip force; grasp stability; human hand; manipulation; object shape; precision grip; sensorimotor control; coding; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : During dexterous manipulation with the fingertips, forces are applied to objects' surfaces. To achieve grasp stability, these forces must be appropriate given the properties of the objects and the skin of the fingertips, and the nature of the task. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Effects of hearing loss on traffic safety and mobility

    Författare :Birgitta Thorslund; Björn Lyxell; Björn Peters; Björn Lidestam; Håkan Alm; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing; Driver; Driving veh ; Behaviour; Cognition; Mental load; Eye movement; Tactile; Warning; Signal; Driver assistance system; Navigation route ; Simulator driving ; Test; Safety; 841 Road: Road user behaviour; 841 Road: Road user behaviour;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this PhD thesis was to investigate traffic safety and mobility for individuals with hearing loss (HL). Three studies were conducted: 1. a questionnaire survey aimed to evaluate differences in choice of transportation that might be related to HL, 2. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Neocortical interpretation of haptic and visual events across brain states: Electrophysiological investigations in sensory information processing

    Författare :Sofie Skårup Kristensen; Hjärnans sensorimotoriska funktioner; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haptics; Visual; Multisensory; Cortical; Rodent; Neurophysiology; Tactile; Electrophysiology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis delves into the complex architecture of dynamic sensory information processing in the neocortex. Specifically, it asks how primary sensory cortical regions are influenced by local and widespread cortical state changes. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Towards intuitive interfaces

    Författare :Otto Carlander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radio Communication; Fighter Jet; Tactile; Combat Vehicle; Multimodal; Command Operators; 3D audio;

    Sammanfattning : Operators like fighter pilots, combat vehicle drivers and fire and rescue command operators handle considerable amount of information during mission critical activities. The increasing complexity of the information landscape calls for alternative information presentation. LÄS MER
