“…The tendency to use focal palpation was hardly affected by the participants' physiological thresholds. Focal palpation was recently reported to frequently occur when blindfolded sighted human subjects explore objects (2D and 3D) using an active sensory substitution device 61 . Interestingly, such focal palpation was typically not observed with blind subjects exploring the same objects with the same devicetheir palpation covered the explored objects more uniformly.…”

“…The experimental procedures were approved by the Helsinki committee of the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Sample size: Sample size in this experiment is similar to the sample size used in previous works which aimed to characterize trajectories of hand motion 31,61,[75][76][77] . Importantly, our sample (eleven subjects recorded for four or five sessions, total of 1196 trials) was sufficient for characterizing hand movement strategies and for studying their dependencies on the sensed shapes and on the measured physiological thresholds.…”

Hand movements are essential for tactile perception of objects. However, the specific functions served by active touch strategies, and their dependence on physiological parameters, is unclear and understudied. Focusing on planar shape perception, we tracked at high resolution the hands of eleven participants during shape recognition task. Two dominant hand movements strategies were identified: Contour-following movements, either tangential to the contour or oscillating perpendicular to it, and exploration by scanning movements, crossing between distant parts of the shapes’ contour. Both strategies exhibited non-uniform coverage of the shapes’ contours. Idiosyncratic movement patterns were specific to the sensed object and could be explained in part by spatial and temporal tactile thresholds of the participant. Using simulations, we show how some strategy choices may affect receptors activation. These results suggest that motion strategies of active touch adapt to both the sensed object and to the perceiver’s physiological parameters.

“…However, different designs of e‐learning platforms have different functions for students to interact that promote in them different psychological outcomes, by shaping their learning behaviours and enhancing their motivation and engagement (Bitrian et al, 2021). When shaping learning behaviour, interacting with the two dimensions of vision and touch regulates a common sensory strategy whereby interaction patterns determine learning activations (Zilbershtain‐Kra et al, 2021). Moreover, simple human activities can be characterized by using a small set of sensors embedded in wearable devices, for example, the gyroscope.…”

Background: Many gamification applications (apps) have been designed to motivate students to learn particular content. Based on the brain activation approach, the present study adapted an app, named Shaking-On, which requires students to shake their mobile devices to send their answers to multiple-choice questions to the teacher. Students then learn from their performance.Objectives: To understand how this approach can stimulate participants' emotions when achieving their learning goals, the present study compared Shaking-On to Kahoot! by checking participants' gameplay anxiety, learning interest, perceived learning value, and learning achievement while learning the Taiwanese language.Methods: The students were divided into two groups to play with one of the two apps, Shaking-On or Kahoot!, as part of a quasi-experimental study in which they used the assigned app six times in 6 weeks. Moreover, a questionnaire was distributed to participants and 151 useful responses from the Shaking-On group, and 148 from the Kahoot! group were returned.Results and Conclusions: After statistical analysis, the results of this study revealed that besides no difference in gameplay anxiety when comparing the two groups of students, there were significant differences in game interest, flow experience, perceived learning value, and learning achievement, further indicating that Shaking-On with hands-on shaking outperformed Kahoot!.
