A new way for people to receive tactile feedback in virtual reality uses the lips, mouth, and tongue. "It makes the experience much more immersive."

When designing neuroprosthetic devices for users to control with their thoughts, engineers must take into account the sensory information brains collect from the environment and how it gets processed.

It’s intriguing how some people experience ASMR while others don’t - our latest research suggests that many ASMR responders are highly sensitive “orchids”.

New research sheds light on how our brains combines external information and internal memory to build a sense of touch. An expert explains.

Environmental Science and Public Policy takes multidisciplinary approach to complex existential threat.

"This could allow you to actually feel textures, buttons, slides, and knobs on the screen.... you could feel the texture of fabrics and other products..."

Researchers are taking advantage of tiny hydra's transparency to learn how they sense touch.
