Phasic pain stimuli are inhibited when they applied concomitantly with a conditioning tonic stimulus at another body location (heterotopic noxious stimulation, HNCS). While the effects of HNCS thought to rely on spino-bulbo-spinal mechanism in animals (termed diffuse inhibitory controls, DNIC), underlying neurophysiology humans may involve other pathways. In this study, we investigated role concomitant supraspinal mechanisms during by presenting auditory painful (the cold pressor test, CPT)....
Tactile stimulation can be used to convey information a user in different scenarios while avoiding overloading other senses. messages transmitted as spatial patterns, potentially allowing for high throughput. The aim of the present study was design and test encoding schemes determine best approach conveying patterns.Encoding with simultaneous (SIM) sequential pad activation (SEQ) were evaluated, including four SEQ variants designed facilitate recognition. In SEQ-col SEQ-row, column row...
Electrotactile stimulation is a technology that reproducibly elicits tactile sensations and can be used as an alternative channel to communicate information the user. The presented work part of effort develop this into unobtrusive communication tool for first responders. In study, aim was compare success rate (SR) between discriminating at six spatial locations (static encoding) recognizing spatio-temporal patterns where pads are activated sequentially in predetermined order (dynamic...
Electrotactile systems are compact interfaces that can be used to convey information through the skin by producing a range of haptic sensations. In many applications, however, user needs perceive and interpret stimulation while being engaged in parallel activities. Developing methods ensure reliable recognition electrotactile messages despite additional cognitive load is, therefore, an important step for practical application displays.
Innate defensive behaviors such as reflexes are found across all species, constituting preprogrammed responses to external threats that not anticipated. Previous studies indicated the excitability of reflex arcs like spinal nociceptive withdrawal (NWR) pathways in humans modulated by several cognitive factors. This study assesses how predictability a threat affects biomechanical pattern response, showing distal and proximal muscles differentially descending control.
Several models have been developed to analyse cortical activity in response salient events constituted by multiple sensory modalities. In particular, additive compare event-related potentials (ERPs) stimuli from two or more concomitant modalities with the ERPs evoked unimodal stimuli, order study interactions. this approach, components that are not specific a modality commonly disregarded, although they likely carry information about stimulus expectation and evaluation, attentional...
