Tactile perception encompasses several submodalities that are realized with distinct sensory subsystems. The processing of those submodalities and their interactions remains understudied. We developed a paradigm consisting of three types of touch tuned in terms of their force and velocity for different submodalities: discriminative touch (haptics), affective touch (C-tactile touch), and knismesis (alerting tickle).

Individuals with ASD are known to have a tendency to have tactile sensory processing issues that could be associated with their impairment as regards social communication. The alterations in tactile processing in autistic subjects are usually accompanied by hypersensitivity and other unpleasant emotions induced by tactile contact. In our study, we investigated the impact of the velocity and the force of a tactile stroke received impersonally by a custom-built robotic device.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexey Semirechenko"

  • - Alexey Semirechenko's research explores the nuanced dynamics of tactile perception, investigating how different types of tactile stimuli—specifically force and velocity—impact sensory processing across various submodalities, including discriminative and affective touch.
  • - His 2023 study on "Salivary Oxytocin and Antioxidative Response to Robotic Touch in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder" examines the relationship between robotic touch and sensory processing issues in individuals with ASD, highlighting the effects of tactile interactions on their emotional responses.
  • - Semirechenko's work contributes to a deeper understanding of tactile sensory processing, particularly among individuals with sensory sensitivities, and emphasizes the need for tailored approaches in therapeutic and technological applications.
