Mechanoreceptive A primary afferents discriminate naturalistic social touch inputs at a functionally relevant time scale
Shan Xu, Steven C. Hauser, Saad S. Nagi +7
Interpersonal touch is an important channel of social emotional interaction. How these physical skin-to-skin touch expressions are processed in the peripheral nervous system is not…
Thin Films on the Skin, but not Frictional Agents, Attenuate the Percept of Pleasantness to Brushed Stimuli
Merat Rezaei, Saad S. Nagi, Chang Xu +3
Brushed stimuli are perceived as pleasant when stroked lightly on the skin surface of a touch receiver at certain velocities. While the relationship between brush velocity and plea…
3D Visual Tracking to Quantify Physical Contact Interactions in Human-to-Human Touch
Shan Xu, Chang Xu, Sarah McIntyre +2
Across a plethora of social situations, we touch others in natural and intuitive ways to share thoughts and emotions, such as tapping to get one's attention or caressing to soothe…
Subtle Contact Nuances in the Delivery of Human-to-Human Touch Distinguish Emotional Sentiment
Shan Xu, Chang Xu, Sarah McIntyre +2
We routinely communicate distinct social and emotional sentiments through nuanced touch. For example, we might gently hold another's arm to offer a sense of calm, yet intensively h…
Automatic finite element implementation of hyperelastic material with a double numerical differentiation algorithm
Yuxiang Wang, Gregory J. Gerling
In order to accelerate implementation of hyperelastic materials for finite element analysis, we developed an automatic numerical algorithm that only requires the strain energy func…
