Tactile and Sensory Interactions

Tactile and Sensory Interactions is a research topic within Cognitive Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 43k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores tactile perception, cross-modal plasticity, and the neural mechanisms underlying sensory substitution. It covers topics such as haptic interfaces, sensory substitution devices, neural reorganization following sensory loss, pleasant touch perception, and the activation of visual cortex in blind individuals. The research also delves into the use of Braille reading, vibrotactile displays, and auditory localization in the context of tactile perception.
