Perceptual haptic representation of materials emerges from unsupervised learning as a consequence of efficient encoding of the physical signals at the input of tactile sensory system.

Mere exposure to scenes with statistical contingencies in the visual or haptic modality alone allows participants to decompose scenes into object-like multimodal representations.

Virtual reality experiments show that motorists slow down when driving in fog, but they speed up when visibility is reduced equally at all distances.

Perception in autism is sensitive to absolute rather than to relative metrics of the environment, encoding changes in the environment without calibrating the changes relative to reference stimulation.

Elucidating the contribution of augmented artificial skin-stretch stimulation to the fingertips to the immediate illusion of a higher stiffness and to an increased predictive grip force control.

A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.

Perception of vibrotactile frequency depends on the neural discharge pattern rather than the afferent type, thus requiring a reevaluation of the notion of Pacinian/non-Pacinian channels in tactile sensory system.

The motor-relevant properties of the myriad objects with which we interact on a daily basis are encoded in memory using categorical representations, or 'object families'.

Human subjects actively adjust the acquisition of sense data based on how their bodily cycles alter their senses, i.e., sensing tactile stimuli for longer periods when concurrent physiological signals are present vs. sensing for shorter periods when these are quiescent.

The visually deprived brain processes sensory letter information in tactile areas but perceptual letter information in sighted reading areas, revealing experience-dependent brain plasticity.
