Tommerdahl M, Dennis R, Francisco E, Holden J, Nguyen R, Favorov O
Mil Med
. 2016 May;
181(5 Suppl):45-50.
PMID: 27168552
The purpose of this research was to determine if cortical metrics-a unique set of sensory-based assessment tools-could be used to characterize and differentiate concussed individuals from nonconcussed individuals. Cortical metrics...

PMID: 26052273
There have been numerous studies conducted on time perception. However, very few of these have involved tactile stimuli to assess a subject's capacity for duration discrimination. Previous optical imaging studies...

Nguyen R, Forshey T, Holden J, Francisco E, Kirsch B, Favorov O, et al.
Exp Brain Res
. 2014 Aug;
232(11):3601-12.
PMID: 25080130
A number of perceptual and neurophysiological studies have investigated the effects of delivering unilateral versus bilateral tactile sensory stimulation. While a number of studies indicate that perceptual discrimination degrades with...

J Undergrad Neurosci Educ
. 2013 Jun;
11(2):A169-73.
PMID: 23805057
Sensory inhibition was first described by von Békésy as a process in which excitation of a field of sensory neurons leads to the reduction of activity of surrounding neurons and...

J Undergrad Neurosci Educ
. 2013 Mar;
9(2):A71-4.
PMID: 23493843
Weber's Law describes the relationship between actual and perceived differences in stimulus intensity. To observe the relationship described in this law, we developed an exercise for undergraduate students, as experiential...

Brain Res
. 2012 Nov;
1492:53-62.
PMID: 23178333
Alcohol consumption can have an impact on a variety of centrally-mediated functions of the nervous system, and some aspects of sensory perception can be altered as a result of long-term...

Front Aging Neurosci
. 2011 Dec;
3:18.
PMID: 22163221
While it is well known that skin physiology - and consequently sensitivity to peripheral stimuli - degrades with age, what is less appreciated is that centrally mediated mechanisms allow for...

J Neurosci Methods
. 2011 Dec;
204(2):215-20.
PMID: 22155443
Current methods for applying multi-site vibratory stimuli to the skin typically involve the use of multiple, individual vibrotactile stimulators. Limitations of such an arrangement include difficulty with both positioning the...

Clin J Pain
. 2011 May;
27(9):755-63.
PMID: 21593667
Objective: To investigate the clinical correlates of central nervous system alterations among women with vulvodynia. Altered central sensitization has been linked to dysfunction in central nervous system-inhibitory pathways (e.g., γ-aminobutyric...

Brain Res
. 2009 Sep;
1302:97-105.
PMID: 19765551
A significant number of studies that evaluated tactile-pain interactions employed heat to evoke nociceptive responses. However, relatively few studies have examined the effects of non-noxious thermal stimulation on tactile discriminative...
