More than ten percent of the cerebral cortex is involved in processing information about our sense of touch—a larger area than previously thought. This is the result of a joint study by researchers ...

Meta made several major announcements for robotics and embodied AI systems this week. This includes releasing benchmarks and artifacts for better understanding and interacting with the physical world.

As we interact with the world, we feel it when we touch things. The information we get from touch sensations helps us carry out many daily activities, from typing on a keyboard to handling food.

Every hug, every handshake, every dexterous act engages and requires touch perception. Therefore, it is essential to understand the molecular basis of touch. "Until now, we had known that the ion ...

Imagine a world where robots can feel, just like you and me. It’s not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but the exciting reality that Meta, the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, is working tirelessly ...

Many diabetic blind persons experience difficulty in reading Braille. This contrasts with clinical experience that diabetic neuropathy does not affect the hands. Accordingly, touch-perception ...

Every hug, every handshake, every dexterous act engages and requires touch perception, and so understanding the molecular basis of touch is important. But to date, scientists had only known about one ...

Researchers find that scents are not only processed by the olfactory center, but also by the brain’s reward and aversion systems, explaining how scents take on meaning. The CRACK platform was used as ...

An encouraging pat on the back or a soft sweater on the skin - even things that we do not actively explore with the hands, we perceive with our body perception. Which brain areas are responsible for ...

The percept of time relates to the sense of touch. A new SISSA study "A sensory integration account for time perception" published in PLOS Computational Biology uncovers this connection. "The ...
