“…Earlier studies assumed that behavioural changes due to altered visual feedback underlie the effects on our haptic perception [31]. In our experiment, however, we excluded this secondary effect by rigorously controlling the participants' motor behaviour, i.e.…”

How our central nervous system (CNS) learns and exploits relationships between force and motion is a fundamental issue in computational neuroscience. While several lines of evidence have suggested that the CNS predicts motion states and signals from motor commands for control and perception (forward dynamics), it remains controversial whether it also performs the 'inverse' computation, i.e. the estimation of force from motion (inverse dynamics). Here, we show that the resistive sensation we experience while moving a delayed cursor, perceived purely from the change in visual motion, provides evidence of the inverse computation. To clearly specify the computational process underlying the sensation, we systematically varied the visual feedback and examined its effect on the strength of the sensation. In contrast to the prevailing theory that sensory prediction errors modulate our perception, the sensation did not correlate with errors in cursor motion due to the delay. Instead, it correlated with the amount of exposure to the forward acceleration of the cursor. This indicates that the delayed cursor is interpreted as a mechanical load, and the sensation represents its visually implied reaction force. Namely, the CNS automatically computes inverse dynamics, using visually detected motions, to monitor the dynamic forces involved in our actions.

“…This incorrect interpretation of force feedback did not occur in the other conditions. This could be due to the association of focusing on forces and viewing the cantilever bending (in a nonlinear shape), which can be seen as a visual pseudo-haptic effect (Lécuyer, 2009).…”

This paper aims to evaluate the benefits of using virtual reality and force-feedback to help teaching nanoscale applications. We propose a teaching aid that combines graphic analogies and haptics intended to improve the grasp of non-intuitive nanoscale phenomena for people without prior knowledge of nanophysics. We look specifically at the most important nanophysical phenomenon, namely, the behavior of the probe of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) as it approaches a sample. The results from experiments carried out with 45 students indicate that a "magnet-spring" analogy helped beginners to establish the link between the behavior of a probe and its force-distance curve. The addition of haptic feedback increased focus about forces and improved the interpretation of the effect of cantilever stiffness. Haptic feedback and the analogical representation were very much appreciated by the subjects and had an impact on the construction of a mental model. Taken together, our results show a positive influence of using haptic feedback and graphic analogies, especially when students are first exposed to the notions that are in effect at the nanoscale.

“…This effect is a type of pseudo-haptics, a type of tactile illusion (Lecuyer et al 2004;Lecuyer 2009). The illusion in haptics has been studied for quite a long time, and the size-weight illusion is well known: if two objects have the same material look and the same weight, people tend to perceive the smaller one as heavier (Ross 1969).…”

We propose a framework to dissect a shikake to identify its fundamental aspect as a shikake. The framework consists of four elements: mechanics to cause the effect; action provoked, prompted, or inspired by the mechanics; effect observed as the result of the action; and principle, which explains how and why the mechanics lead to the effect through the action. By using these four elements, this paper presents the anatomies of three artifacts as shikakes: (1) a telescope-like cylinder in the zoo as a canonical example of a shikake; (2) a museum candle, which we have designed and studied as a probe to investigate the inspirational experience at a museum; and (3) an omni-viscosity string, which we have developed for communicating weight through visual interactivity by using pseudo-haptics. The anatomies demonstrate that a shikake's low-cost and simple but yet effective nature comes from the aspect that exploits human psychology, cognition, and perception, and that the principle element plays a key role to ascribe the way the action mediates the mechanics and the effect to human nature.
