Our device produces highly efficient tactile sensations in human participants. By targeting different types of touch-sensitive receptor, each transducer unit can deliver dynamic and static stimuli ...

Weng and his team reveal that out of hundreds of animal species, amphibians, specifically frogs, have the highest number of bitter taste receptors, known as TAS2Rs. While humans have 25 TAS2Rs ...

They also created a complete perception system by designing additional organic materials and integrating their engineered neurons with artificial touch receptors and synapses, enabling real-time ...

Artificial neuron has 50 times broader frequency range than past models Using engineered tactile receptors and synapses, scientists demonstrate first complete artificial sensing system Organic ...

which integrates artificial tactile receptors and artificial synapses," said Facchetti. "It demonstrates the ability to encode tactile stimuli into spiking neuronal signals in real time and ...

The team also built a complete perception system by designing other organic materials and integrating their engineered neurons with artificial touch receptors and synapses, which enabled real-time ...

Flexible tactile sensors have the advantages of large deformation detection, high fault tolerance, and excellent conformability, which enable conformal integration onto the complex surface of human ...

In vision, the foveal representation is magnified cortically, as are the fingertips in touch. What principles drive this allocation, and how should receptor density, for example, the high innervation ...

Background: Tactile and somatic hallucinations are distressing phenomena that have hardly been researched. The few studies that have been published focus on their occurrence in neurodegenerative ...
