What Makes Touch Comfortable? An Examination of Touch Giving and Receiving in Two Cultures

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 49(9), С. 1392 - 1407

This study examined how touch role and culture shape affective experiences. Germans ( N = 130) Chinese were surveyed once as toucher touchee. For different actions, they (a) provided free-text descriptions of what prompts touch, (b) indicated with whom feels comfortable, (c) highlighted areas comfort on a body outline. Overall, was prompted by affectionate feelings, more comfortable closely bonded individuals, when directed at the upper arms, shoulders, back. Touch mattered for experiences prompting in that touchees felt less positive than touchers. Culture differentiated topographies. Compared Chinese, intimate to torso back public hands. Notably, however, examining revealed overlap divergence, ensuring mutual individuals physically connect.

Mobile Brain/Body Imaging: Challenges and opportunities for the implementation of research programs based on the 4E perspective to cognition

Adaptive Behavior, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 31(5), С. 423 - 448

Опубликована: Апрель 27, 2022

Cognitive dynamics are multimodal, and they need to integrate real-time feedback be adaptive appropriate. However, cognition research still relies on mostly unimodal paradigms using simple motor tasks in laboratory-based static situations. This paper addresses this limitation by presenting the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach based Embodied, Embedded, Extended, Enactive perspective, which complements traditional laboratory work while also facilitating ecologically valid applications. First, we briefly review technologies used obtain functional structural images of System during natural cognition. Specifically: mobile cognitive electrophysiology, neurovascular dynamics, behavioral measurements. Second, development Imaging/4E Chile. Finally, discuss challenges opportunities. We conclude that although new epistemic/methodological is promising, there a for greater portability, robust equipment, data-analysis tools can signals from brain/body-in-the-world system. Future experimental designs re-consider their underlying logic increase ecological validity by-perhaps-modifying physical spaces experiments conducted.

Gentle stroking elicits somatosensory ERP that differentiates between hairy and glabrous skin

Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 17(9), С. 864 - 875

Опубликована: Фев. 20, 2022

Here we asked whether, similar to visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs), somatosensory ERPs reflect affect. Participants were stroked on hairy or glabrous skin at five stroking velocities (0.5, 1, 3, 10 20 cm/s). For of skin, pleasantness ratings related velocity in an inverted u-shaped manner. showed a negativity 400 ms following touch onset over cortex contra-lateral the stimulation site. This negativity, referred as sN400, was larger for intermediate than faster slower positively predicted ratings. again relation with and, additionally, increased linearly stroking. The sN400 revealed no quadratic effect instead velocities. Its amplitude failed significantly predict pleasantness. In sum, reported other senses, touch's affective value modulates ERP. Notably, however, this ERP associated subjective dissociate between underscoring functional differences which typically receive reach out touch.

A context-dependent switch from sensing to feeling in the primate amygdala

Cell Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 42(2), С. 112056 - 112056

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2023

The skin transmits affective signals that integrate into our social vocabulary. As the socio-affective aspects of touch are likely processed in amygdala, we compare neural responses to grooming and gentle airflow recorded from amygdala primary somatosensory cortex non-human primates. Neurons respond both types tactile stimuli. In however, neurons do not individual sweeps even though elicits autonomic states indicative positive affect. Instead, many show changes baseline firing rates persist throughout bout. Such fluctuations attributed context because presence groomer alone can account for observed activity. It appears, therefore, during grooming, stops responding external inputs on a short timescale but remains responsive (or associated states) longer time scales.

Robotic Skin Mimicking Human Skin Layer and Pacinian Corpuscle for Social Interaction

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 29(4), С. 2709 - 2719

Опубликована: Авг. 1, 2024

Humans sense and interpret touches on their skin for social interaction. Similarly, robotic systems with human-like can intuitively interact humans. Therefore, many tactile sensors have been developed, but excessive sensing elements, narrow bandwidth, fragility limit applications as skin. This article proposes a structure that mimics the human layer Pacinian corpuscle using textured resilient fabric, uniquely structured airmesh, encapsulated microphones. Furthermore, functions such stimulus encoding, dispersion, elastomechanical properties, wide sensitivity bandwidth are mimicked. The developed identifies locations patterns small number of nodes algorithms sensations. These include passive acoustic tomography to localize touch, signal intensities map, spectrogram encode spatiotemporal characteristics convolutional neural network decode classify touch. As result, localized mean error 1.8 cm classified touch into nine classes an accuracy 93.3%. has no rigid material employs few nodes, thus easily accommodating large nonplanar surfaces. was implemented arm demonstrate physical human–robot interaction vertically cylindrical surface similar size robot scaling up larger lower node density.

This study aims to explore the effects of forest travel activities on university students’ stress affection. Forty volunteer students participated in this study. All participants were asked complete physiological (Heart Rate Variability) and psychological (Brief Profile Mood State State–Trait Anxiety Inventory) tests before after activities. The results reported that heart rates significantly lower than before. domains negative mood anxiety decreased from pre-test post-test. found could feel less stressed if they went
