DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2019.04.017
Abstract: In this experiment, psychogenic (mental arithmetic), thermogenic (mean body temperature elevation of 0.6 °C) and combined thermo-psychogenic treatments were used to explore eccrine sweat-gland recruitment from glabrous (volar hand and forehead) and non-glabrous skin surfaces (chest).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2018.10.006
Abstract: This study examined cutaneous vasoconstriction to whole-body hypothermia, specifically contributions of neural and endothelial vasomotor responses in glabrous and non-glabrous skin. Eleven participants were semi-recumbent at an ambient temperature of 22 °C for 30 min, after which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myx086
Abstract: Dermatophytes are capable of infecting the skin and its appendages such as nails and hairs producing a variety of clinical conditions. Hair invasion by dermatophytes is a key feature of tinea capitis and tinea barbae… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/scan/nsac012
Abstract: Abstract 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 and 20 cm/s).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/toh.2019.2946136
Abstract: We report a new vibrotactile modulation method of midair ultrasound focus, namely, lateral modulation (LM), in which the focus quickly moves along a small cyclic trajectory and provides stronger and clearer vibrotactile stimuli than those… read more here.

DOI: 10.1115/1.4056110
Abstract: Human thermoregulation is governed by a complex, nonlinear feedback control system. The system consists of thermoreceptors, a controller, and effector mechanisms for heat exchange that coordinate to maintain a central core temperature. A principal route… read more here.
