Ca2+ imaging data for: A rigidity transition of MEC-2/Stomatin condensates controls neuronal mechanotransduction during touch sensing
<p>Calcium imaging data from Sanfeliu et al, NCB, 2023.</p> <p>Project contains fluorescence data to characterize the activity of the touch receptor neurons (TRNs) - which are mechanically activated upon touch – in the model organism <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>. The set of data includes wild-type animals as a reference and two different mutants to understand their role during touch sensation: MEC-2(R385H) and UNC-89 knock-out.</p> <p> </p>
Data from: An investigation into the effectiveness of using acoustic touch to assist people who are blind
<p>In this work, we explored the potential of a technique known as "acoustic touch" to assist people who are blind in finding objects. This technique is an auditory sensory augmentation paradigm that uses smart glasses to sonify objects entering the device's field of view. We developed a wearable Foveated Audio Device (FAD) to study the efficacy and usability of using acoustic touch to search, memorise, and reach items. The study involved 14 participants, 7 blind/low vision and 7 sighted blindfolded participants. We compared the wearable device to two idealised conditions, a verbal clock face description and a sequential audio presentation through external speakers. We found that the wearable device can effectively aid the recognition and reaching of an object. We also observed that the device does not significantly increase the user's cognitive workload. These promising results suggest that acoustic touch can provide a wearable and effective method of sensory augmentation.</p>

Data from: Cross-cultural similarity in relationship-specific social touching
Many species use touching for reinforcing social structures, and particularly non-human primates use social grooming for managing their social networks. However, it is still unclear how social touch contributes to maintenance and reinforcement of human social networks. Human studies in Western cultures suggest that the body locations where touch is allowed are associated with the strength of the emotional bond between the person touched and the toucher. However, it is unknown to what extent this relationship is culturally universal and generalizes to non-Western cultures. Here, we compared relationship-specific, bodily touch allowance maps across one Western (N = 386, United Kingdom) and one East Asian (N = 255, Japan) country. In both cultures, strength of emotional bond was linearly associated with permissible touch area. However, Western participants experienced social touching as more pleasurable than Asian participants. These results indicate a similarity of emotional bonding via social touch between East Asian and Western cultures.
Video Figure: Intelligent Agents and Networked Buttons Improve Free-Improvised Ensemble Music-Making on Touch-Screens
<p>This video figure is an overview of our study comparing two designs for network communications between touch-screen musical instruments played in free-improvised ensemble performances.</p> <p>The video shows an overview of the touch-screen app (PhaseRings) used in the study and each of the interface conditions.</p> <p>The abstract of the paper relating to this figure is as follows:</p> <p>We present the results of two controlled studies of free-improvised ensemble music-making on touch-screens. In our system, updates to an interface of harmonically-selected pitches are broadcast to every touch-screen in response to either a performer pressing a GUI button, or to interventions from an intelligent agent. In our first study, analysis of survey results and performance data indicated significant effects of the button on performer preference, but of the agent on performance length. In the second follow-up study, a mixed-initiative interface, where the presence of the button was interlaced with agent interventions, was developed to leverage both approaches. Comparison of this mixed-initiative interface with the always-on button-plus-agent condition of the first study demonstrated significant preferences for the former. The different approaches were found to shape the creative interactions that take place. Overall, this research offers evidence that an intelligent agent and a networked GUI both improve aspects of improvised ensemble music-making.</p>

Distribution. NW Madgascar, found discontinuously in the coast S of the Manambolo River, from where the distribution swings inland to the uplands before touching the coast again N and E of the Mahavavy River; reports of the Crowned Sifaka as far S as the Sakay River, as far E to Andanotongo, and SE beyond Tsiroanomandidy suggest that its distribution is more complicated than originally believed. Decken's (PF. deckeniz) and Crowned sifakas are often found in the same areas, although the Crowned Sifaka tends to be found further inland than the more coastal Decken's Sifaka. In general, the boundary between these two species is the Mahavavy River, while the Betsiboka River separates the Crowned Sifaka from Coquerel's Sifaka (PF. coquereli). in Indriidae
