DOI: 10.1002/adma.202108586
Abstract: Recent growing pursuit of skin-mountable devices has been impeded by complicated structures of most sensing systems, containing electrode grids, stacked multi-layers, and even external power sources. Here, we introduce a type of touch sensing, termed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23679
Abstract: Humans belong to a minority of mammalian species that exhibit monogamous pair‐bonds, thereby enabling biparental care of offspring. The high reward value of interpersonal closeness and touch in couples is a key proximate mechanism facilitating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-018-5404-2
Abstract: Interpersonal touch is known to influence human communication and emotion. An important system for interpersonal touch is the C-tactile (CT) system, which is activated by a soft stroke on hairy skin with a velocity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dcn.2018.05.006
Abstract: The past years have seen a renewed interest in measuring neural, physiological or cognitive, immediate and longer-term effects of human interaction through touch. The term “social touch” was rapidly adopted, implying the existence of (stimulus)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.07.007
Abstract: The human tactile system is known to discriminate different types of touches, one of these termed 'affective touch', is mainly mediated by slow conducting tactile afferents (CT fibres), which are preferentially activated by slow and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0000393
Abstract: Research has suggested that interpersonal touch promotes social processing and other-concern, and that women may respond to it more sensitively than men. In this study, we asked whether this phenomenon would extend to third-party observers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10736-6
Abstract: Pressure-sensitive touch panels can measure pressure and location (3D) information simultaneously and provide an intuitive and natural method for expressing one’s intention with a higher level of controllability and interactivity. However, they have been generally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12511-z
Abstract: Touch is a fundamental aspect of social, parental and sexual behavior. In contrast to our detailed knowledge about cortical processing of non-social touch, we still know little about how social touch impacts cortical circuits. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep40504
Abstract: Although the previous studies have shown that an emotional context may alter touch processing, it is not clear how visual contextual information modulates the sensory signals, and at what levels does this modulation take place.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d1sm01096d
Abstract: Flexible touch-sensing devices have attracted extensive attention in wearable electronics and human-machine interaction. The ionic touch-sensing hydrogels are ideal candidates for these scenarios, but the absorbed water evaporates easily from the hydrogel, reducing their working… read more here.
