From a pinprick to a warm breeze, every sensation you perceive begins its journey along this ascending sensory pathway. For ...

With smart plugs, you can quickly turn off any device causing sensory issues. You can even set up an Alexa or Google routine to control groups of devices. A simple voice command can make a world ...

Building on the design of the PhET sim Ratio and Proportion, we created four sensory extension devices to investigate and broaden the ways to explore challenge ratios. Each sensory extension device ...

This one’s far from the first sensory substitution devices we’ve covered, though, as quite a few of them were mechanical in nature – the less moving parts, the better, we reckon!

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are no longer concepts for something possible in the future. We’re on the ...

Sensory systems include the parts of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information, including the visual system, auditory system, olfactory system, somatosensory system ...

When the sensory receptors in the nervous system malfunction, as they’re theorized to do in SPD, common stimuli like lights, noises, and textures may be perceived as too bright, too loud ...

Haptic devices, which enable communication through touch, have evolved significantly since their introduction in the 1960s. Initially, they relied on rigid, grounded mechanisms acting as user ...

Long the backbone of electronics, semiconductors are finding new uses in the development of electronic noses and tongues.

While early haptic devices focused on single-sensory cues like vibration-based notifications, modern advancements have paved the way for multisensory haptic devices that integrate various forms of ...
