  1. 1. A System for Affective Touch in Humanoid and Social Robotics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kognitionsvetenskap

    Author : Martin Gunnar Karlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Humanoid robotics; social robotics; cognitive robotics; affective touch; touch types; machine learning; emotional repsonse; colour expression; colour and emotion; HRI; human-robot-interaction; tactile interaction; social interaction; robotics; somatosensory system; artificial neural network; ANN; support vector machine; SVM; communication; cognition; somatosensation; Philosophy and Religion;

    Abstract : A system for affective touch has been constructed, in a study of humanoid and social robotics. The system detects, processes and analyses signals from touch, identifies touch types, and provides a corresponding emotional response and expression. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Sense of Touch : Physiology and Neural Correlates of Affective Touch and its Role in Subjective Wellbeing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Beatrice Svensson; [2019]
    Keywords : Somatosensory system; affective touch; discriminative touch; C-tactile afferents; subjective wellbeing; positive affect; social relations;

    Abstract : The somatosensory system concerns the sense of touch. It is sectioned into various kinds of touch, such as the proprioceptive sense, providing information of sense of self and position of limbs, and the cutaneous sense, informing of the modalities of touching or being touched.

  5. 4. Time-frequency analysis for responses evoked by nociceptive and non-nociceptive stimuli based on EEG signals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Juan Pablo Lagos Benitez; [2015]
    Keywords : ICA; artifact; pain; nociceptive; EEG; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the pursuit of a system capable of measuring pain signals in humans we propose a method to differentiate those signals related to pain from those which are not. We performed a time-frequency analysis using the Gabor transform to have complete information about the spectrum and its behaviour through the time to study the main differences over the evoked potentials provoked by both nociceptive and somatosensory (non-nociceptive) stimulation.

  6. 5. Somatosensory system; touch : Physiology and Neuronal Correlates of Discriminative and Affective Touch

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Clara Dahlquist; [2014]
    Keywords : somatosensory system; discriminative touch; affective touch; C-tactile afferents; somatosensory cortices; orbitofrontal cortex;

    Abstract : This essay is about the somatosensory system, which is divided into different kinds of touch. Described briefly are the proprioceptive touch, which is transported to the brain via A-alfa fibers and transmits information about e. g. limb position and movement. READ MORE
