Abstract:

This paper presents a study on the touch precision of an eye-free, body-based interface using on-body and near-body touch methods with and without skin contact. We evaluate user touch accuracy on four different button layouts. These layouts progressively increase the number of buttons between adjacent body joints, resulting in 12, 20, 28, and 36 touch buttons distributed across the body. Our study indicates that the on-body method achieved an accuracy beyond 95% for the 12- and 20-button layouts, whereas the near-body method only for the 12-button layout.

Abstract:

Recent evidence suggests that altered responses to affective touch—a pleasant interoceptive stimulus associated with activation of the C-Tactile (CT) system—may contribute to the aetiology and maintenance of mental conditions characterised by body image disturbances (e.g., Anorexia Nervosa). Here, we investigated whether tactile pleasantness and intensity differ across body sites, and if individual differences in dysmorphic appearance concerns and body and emotional awareness might be associated with touch perceptions across body sites. To this end, we measured perceived pleasantness and inten

Abstract:

Recent interactional studies of multimodal interaction have shown how touch can be used as a form of social control in adults' directives to children, or as a way of guiding children into embodied politeness. Using multimodal interactional analysis grounded in conversation analysis, this paper aims at exploring how touch is used as a semiotic resource to socialize young children between 4 and 5 years of age into appropriate ways of presenting the body in public. The focus will be on moments when the child's body becomes the subject of correction while some other action is going on. In those mo

When touch was delivered with head rotated but response was made with head centered touch shifted in the same direction as the head, consistent with gaze-centered coding.

The decrease in touch has been explored in recent literature in relation to child protection discourses and no touch policies and it has been suggested that Physical Education (PE) has been weakened by the lack of touch. Significantly, the issue of touch has remained largely unexplored in Latin societies, which are characterised by an amplified tactile approach to people and comparatively little personal space.

I had my first very close encounter with a dead body when I was working as a nursing assistant in a local hospital. As we readied the body for the family, I was struck by how this body defied all of my expectations of how dead bodies were supposed to behave. The skin was soft, warm, and supple. Blood continued to rush, and then eventually merely weep, from injection sites, the coagulation cascade still diligently at work. More than anything, I was fascinated by my surprise. In the context of Western medicine, death has been so pervasively medicalized that many, if not most, people will die in

Abstract:

Abstract The sense of touch is not restricted to the body but can also extend to external objects. When we use a handheld tool to contact an object, we feel the touch on the tool and not in the hand holding the tool. The ability to perceive touch on a tool actually extends along its entire surface, allowing the user to accurately localize where it is touched similarly as they would on their body. Although the neural mechanisms underlying the ability to localize touch on the body have been largely investigated, those allowing to localize touch on a tool are still unknown.

Abstract:

Slow, gentle stimulation of hairy skin is generally accompanied by hedonic sensations. This phenomenon, also known as (positive) affective touch, is likely to be the basis of affiliative interactions with conspecifics by promoting inter-individual bindings. Previous studies on healthy humans have demonstrated that affective touch can remarkably impact behavior. For instance, by administering the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) paradigm, the embodiment of a fake hand enhances after a slow, affective touch compared to a fast, neutral touch. However, results coming from this area are not univocal. In

The binary setting between the dreaming world and the waking world, through the perception of touch, is used not to disdain the cruel reality but to arouse inter-subjectivity. The representation of breath illuminates another tactility regarding spatiality and inter-subjectivity. I argue that O

Results suggest that speech+touch multimodal events are characterized by more exaggerated touch and speech cues. Further, our results suggest that maternal touches are aligned with speech and that mothers tend to touch their infants in locations that are congruent with names of bo

A piezoelectric Ciliary-like body beam of a tactile feedback device can realize a touchpoint of different tactile sensations under simple control when the finger movement changes to the opposite direction.

For investigating the system parameters’ effect on vibration accelerations, the dynamic model of forced vibration of the touch beam is established, and the steady-state response of the touch beam excited by piezoelectric sheets is deduced.

The chasm between body and spirit coupled with an undervaluation of the body is often attributed to the Biblical heritage. However, the kabbalistic tract The Holy Letter (13th century) argues that the Greeks are to blame for this tendency, notably Aristotle. The Letter defends the touch as the most important of all the senses, against Aristotle (the Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who follows Aristotle in this regard) who considers the touch the most animal-like sense. This is precisely the reason why, according to the author of the Holy Letter, touch is the eminent way to sanctify life, e.g. i

Abstract:

The use of touch in psychotherapy has been a topic of discussion since Freud stopped touching his patients. Psychology in general has moved away from utilizing touch as a therapeutic intervention. However, several body-oriented clinical approaches, such as Bioenergetic Analysis, Neo-Reichian therapy, Core Energetics, Hakomi, and Somatic Experiencing, include touch as approved interventions. This article explores how touch can be used ethically in clinical practice. Types of touch and ethical considerations are discussed as well as the need for training and more research.

Abstract:

Mirror-touch synaesthesia (MTS) refers to tactile sensations people have on their own body when they see another person being touched. This trait has been linked to individual differences in computing body awareness and ownership (e.g., on questionnaires, cognitive tests) as well as differences in the brain. Here it is assessed for the first time in a non-Western (Chinese) population. Study 1 shows that reports of mirror-touch are elevated in a Chinese sample (N = 298) relative to comparable Western samples shown identical stimuli. In other respects, they are qualitatively similar (e.g., showi

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a contagious infection caused by the dengue virus and is transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes which can trigger fever or hyperthermia. Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a global public health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, including Indonesia, one of the dengue endemic countries. The dengue mortality rate in Central Java has increased from 2018 to 2021. The data in 2021 reached 2.7 percent.

Abstract:

Abstract Erogenous zones of the body are sexually arousing when touched. Previous investigations of erogenous zones were restricted to the effects of touch on one’s own body. However, sexual interactions do not just involve being touched, but also involve touching a partner and mutually looking at each other’s bodies. We take a novel interpersonal approach to characterize the self-reported intensity and distribution of erogenous zones in two modalities: touch and vision. A large internet sample of 613 participants (407 women) completed a questionnaire, where they rated intensity of sexual arou

Abstract:

The growing prevalence of social robots in various fields necessitates a deeper understanding of touch in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI). This study investigates how human-initiated touch influences physiological responses during interactions with robots, considering factors such as anthropomorphic framing of robot body parts and attributed gender. Two types of anthropomorphic framings are applied: the use of anatomical body part names and assignment of male or female gender to the robot. Higher physiological arousal was observed when touching less accessible body parts than when touching more

Abstract In Sunni Muslim funerals in Turkey, the state, religious actors, and members of kin and family hold the obligations and rights to the deceased, such as washing, shrouding, burying, and praying for the dead body, which the author characterizes as care for the dead. The practices of care represent the deceased body in strictly gendered ways. For instance, the coffin design, the prayers at the mosque, the washing ritual prior to burial, and the rites of inhumation are different for women and men. This article examines the intimate economies of touch that take place while preparing the de

Abstract:

Light touch contact between the body and an environmental referent reduces fluctuations of center of pressure (CoP) in quiet standing although the contact forces are insufficient to provide significant forces to stabilize standing balance. Maintenance of upright standing posture (with light touch contact) may include both predictive and reactive components. Recently Dickstein et al. (2003) demonstrated that reaction to temporally unpredictable displacement of the support surface was affected by light touch raising the question whether light touch effects also occur with predictable disturbance

Abstract:

This paper presents the development of an integrated pressing machine designed for both touch panel adhesion and inspection. The machine automates the bonding process between the main body of smart devices and their touch panels while also inspecting the PCB substrate of the touch panel. Thus, the machine achieves high-reliability bonding between the plate body and touch panel by simultaneously applying heat, pressure, and force in a balanced manner. It meets the IPX7 certification standard, that is, the highest level of dust and waterproof protection, and combines both panel adhesion and PCB
