Tactile Sensory Control of Object Manipulation in Humans (2020, neutral): “…neural encoding of shape have concerned ‘fine form’ geometric features (e.g., Braille-like patterns and gratings), including markedly curved surfaces (radii < ~ 5 mm, i.e., curvatures > ~200 m-1), gently stimulating the fingertips in monkeys (Johnson, K.O. 2001; Goodwin, A.W. and Wheat, H.E. 2004).”
Soft magnetic skin for super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling (2021, background): “Human skin, which mainly consists of four types of mechanoreceptors (SA-I, SA-II, RA-I, and RA-II) (3, 4), is able to perceive tactile stimulus at a spatial resolution higher than the average spacing between mechanoreceptors in the finger (known as the tactile hyperacuity or super-resolution) (5) an”
UltraHaptics: multi-point mid-air haptic feedback for touch surfaces (2013, background): “The static pins and vibrators also has the advantage of sharp edges, which helps in the discrimination of two points as it activates mechanoreceptors in the skin that specializes in spatial acuity [21].”
