| Description | This cluster of papers explores tactile perception, cross-modal plasticity, and the neural mechanisms underlying sensory substitution. It covers topics such as haptic interfaces, sensory substitution devices, neural reorganization following sensory loss, pleasant touch perception, and the activation of visual cortex in blind individuals. The research also delves into the use of Braille reading, vibrotactile displays, and auditory localization in the context of tactile perception. |
