}A taxtile is a smart fabric that integrates tactile sensors and actuators in the same flexible material, inspired by human skin. Tactile illusions such as the ‘shrinking waist’ and the ‘stretching nose’ demonstrate that bodily awareness is dynamic and is not constrained to the physical body. The design sketch for Fauxy the Fake Fur Coat with Feelings has vibrotactile buttons sewn on the inside to connect the fabric sensor to skin sensations. We propose that bodily awareness could flow into the…

Qualitative results suggested that the designed stimuli succeeded in activating desired mechanoreceptors’ axons, and two methods are suggested to use anodic current stimulation as well as cathodic current.

A modular electronic device to allow users to perceive and respond simultaneously to multiple spatial information sources using haptic stimulus, and among the numerous potential applications are electronic travel aids and visual prosthetics for the blind, augmentation of spatial awareness in hazardous working environments, as well as enhanced obstacle awareness for motorcycle or car drivers.

The results suggest that the perceived changes in the size and shape of body parts are mediated by hierarchically higher-order somatosensory areas in the parietal cortex, and suggest that relative size ofBody image is computed by the integration of more elementary somatic signals from different body segments.
