Protocol
Creating Tactile Motion
Interactions with the world and between our own body parts often result in motion across the skin, and sensory processing of this motion is of interest to both basic and applied researchers. We describe motion...

Protocol
Somatosensory Illusions
Illusions arouse interest in the layperson and researcher alike. The layperson learns that perception is fallible, and the researcher wants to better understand mechanisms of perception and implement illusions...

Lateral Skin Stretch Influences Direction Judgments of Motion Across the Skin
Background: Sliding of surfaces across the skin changes the position of edges and texture elements relative to the receptive fields of somatosensory neurons. This ‘successive positions’ cue is ...

Adaptation to Motion Presented with a Tactile Array
We investigated the effects of adaptation to 2 min of tactile apparent motion along the proximo-distal axis of the finger pad, produced with a vibrotactile array (Optacon), and developed a novel method to reve...

Conflict with vision diminishes proprioceptive adaptation to muscle vibration
Muscle vibration excites muscle spindles and creates illusory movement of a body part in a blindfolded individual. It is followed by an aftereffect, an illusion of return movement when vibration stops. The aft...

Article
A visual distracter task during adaptation reduces the proprioceptive movement aftereffect
Visual processing of basic perceptual attributes depends on attention. This has been well documented since the surprising initial report on attentional modulation of the visual motion aftereffect (Chaudhuri 1990)...

Article
Perception of movement extent depends on the extent of previous movements
We report an aftereffect in perception of the extent (or degree or range) of joint movement, showing for the first time that a prolonged exposure to a passive back-and-forth movement of a certain extent result...

Adaptation of a bimodal integration stage: visual input needed during neck muscle vibration to elicit a motion aftereffect
Vibratory stimulation of the neck muscles can elicit illusory drift of a visual target; after vibration stops, motion in the opposite direction is perceived. This motion aftereffect (MAE) could be due to adapt...

Article
Eye movements cannot explain vibration-induced visual motion and motion aftereffect
Eye movements are thought to account for a number of visual motion illusions involving stationary objects presented against a featureless background or apparent motion of the whole visual field. We tested two ...

Size perception by vision and kinesthesia
When two sizes, one perceived by vision and the other by kinesthesia, are apparently equal, the physical relationship between them varies: The sizes may be equal, or the visual size may be larger than the kine...
