Earlier studies have shown hypnotizability-related postural effects of visual suppression and of leg and neck proprioceptive alteration. This study completes this investigation by demonstrating the postural effects of asymmetric tactile foot stimulation in standing participants with different hypnotizability scores. During this stimulation, body sway changed in medium-to-high more than in low-to-medium hypnotizable participants. Findings support the view that high hypnotizability is associated with higher vulnerability of posture to sensory alteration; together with earlier results, they suggest a role of the cerebellum in the observed hypnotizability-related differences and prompt investigation of cerebral structures and factors potentially responsible for both the cognitive and physiological aspects of hypnotizability.

Skin-like sensors capable of detecting multiple stimuli simultaneously have great potential in cutting-edge human-machine interaction. However, realizing multimodal tactile recognition beyond human tactile perception still faces significant challenges. Here, an extreme environments-adaptive multimodal triboelectric sensor was developed, capable of detecting pressure/temperatures beyond the range of human perception.

Predicting the consequences of the agent's actions on its environment is a pivotal challenge in robotic learning, which plays a key role in developing higher cognitive skills for intelligent robots. While current methods have predominantly relied on vision and motion data to generate the predicted videos, more comprehensive sensory perception is required for complex physical interactions such as contact-rich manipulation or highly dynamic tasks. In this work, we investigate the interdependence between vision and tactile sensation in the scenario of dynamic robotic interaction.

Tactile sensors with capability of multiaxial force perception play a vital role in robotics and human-machine interfaces. Flexible optical waveguide sensors have been an emerging paradigm in tactile sensing due to their high sensitivity, fast response, and antielectromagnetic interference. Herein, a flexible multiaxial force sensor enabled by U-shaped optical micro/nanofibers (MNFs) is reported.

Free Crushed Cartilage Filler Graft to Optimize Tip Aesthetics in Asian Rhinoplasty.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

September 2024

Department of Otolaryngology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 388-1 Pungnap-2dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 138-736, South Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Tip rhinoplasty in Asian patients is complicated due to thick skin and weak cartilage, often requiring open surgery and grafting for better results.
  • This study presents a technique using free crushed cartilage filler grafts to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the nasal tip, aimed at allowing real-time feedback during the procedure.
  • Results from 66 patients after an average follow-up of 16.3 months show significant improvements in nasal length and height, with some reporting minor aesthetic issues but no major dissatisfaction or need for revision surgery.

Adaptation of reactive saccades (RS), made toward the sudden appearance of stimuli in our environment, is a plastic mechanism thought to occur at the motor level of saccade generation. As saccadic oculomotor commands integrate multisensory information in the parietal cortex and superior colliculus, adaptation of RS should occur not only toward visual but also tactile targets. In addition, saccadic adaptation in one modality (vision or touch) should transfer cross-modally.
