“…This effect needs to be clearly distinguished from that of voluntary movements to investigate how voluntary movements affect the temporal perception of multisensory integration. In this context, Kitagawa et Kitagawa et al; that is, the resolution of temporal perception was improved under the passive finger movement condition but not under the active finger movement condition [18]. They further reported that haptic stimuli came before auditory stimuli under the passive finger movement condition, whereas the opposite result was obtained under the static and active finger conditions.…”

“…The fact that only animals have nervous systems shows that voluntary movements play a very important role in multisensory integration. Shi et al [18] investigated whether active human motor control shifts the subjective simultaneity of temporal perception. They therefore performed TOJ tasks in visual-haptic integration under two conditions: no movement and movement.…”

SUMMARYThe present study aims to investigate the effect of voluntary movements on human temporal perception in multisensory integration. We therefore performed temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks in audio-tactile integration under three conditions: no movement, involuntary movement, and voluntary movement. It is known that the point of subjective simultaneity (PSS) under the no movement condition, that is, normal TOJ tasks, appears when a tactile stimulus is presented before an auditory stimulus. Our experiment showed that involuntary and voluntary movements shift the PSS to a value that reduces the interval between the presentations of auditory and tactile stimuli. Here, the shift of the PSS under the voluntary movement condition was greater than that under the involuntary movement condition. Remarkably, the PSS under the voluntary movement condition appears when an auditory stimulus slightly precedes a tactile stimulus. In addition, a just noticeable difference (JND) under the voluntary movement condition was smaller than those under the other two conditions. These results reveal that voluntary movements alternate the temporal integration of audio-tactile stimuli. In particular, our results suggest that voluntary movements reverse the temporal perception order of auditory and tactile stimuli and improve the temporal resolution of temporal perception. We discuss the functional mechanism of shifting the PSS under the no movement condition with voluntary movements in audio-tactile integration.

“…The muscle senses and muscle-generated force patterns are automatically integrated into a complex actionperception process that, depending on the nature of the task, may encompass tactile information via a voluntary control mechanism. Vision and audition, for example, are complemented by haptic inputs (Frissen, Ziat, Campion, Hayward, & Guastavino, 2012). Additionally, haptic perception has evolved to include the detection of timeinvariant parameters that emerge from the spatiotemporal structure of ambient arrays (Cabe, 2011;Cabe & Hofman, 2012;Gibson, 1966).…”

Several studies have emphasized the contribution of haptic input that results from the use of rigid and non-rigid tools to the postural control system. Experimental protocols such as the light touch and the anchor system are based on individuals' haptic exploration of the environment through direct tactile-kinesthetic contact, or indirectly through rigid or flexible tools that are attached to the body. In this article, we introduce the main findings of humans' haptic use of non-rigid tools during postural control tasks. We illustrate the effects of an anchor system paradigm on the maintenance of stability via haptic information. Haptic anchoring includes the handling of flexible cables that are attached to loads that are in contact with a surface. We include results of studies about haptic information gathered during the holding of a walking dog's leash. Studies that used the anchor system demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing body sway in several groups, including young adults, children, older individuals, and intellectually disabled individuals. We discuss several experimental designs and intervention protocols in order to illustrate how haptic anchoring could prompt functional plasticity.

“…Whereas loudness thresholds are typically determined for entirely passively received acoustic stimuli, the stimuli in our experiment were created through an active involvement on the part of the participant. We already mentioned in the introduction that voluntary active movements can affect haptic perception [17] and auditory-haptic interactions [19], the nature of which are still far from understood [17]. We therefore have to consider the possibility that the previously observed facilitatory, or "boosting", effect of tactile stimuli on loudness perception can be modulated by the voluntary actions on the part of our participants.…”

Abstract.A great variety of interactions between senses, and between motor production and senses, have been reported in previous research. In the present study, we tested whether the mechanics of a plucked string affected how the sound it produced was perceived. To test this hypothesis, we simulated the feel of a plucked string using a high fidelity haptic force-feedback device and simultaneously simulated its acoustic emission. This way, we could independently manipulate the two sensory inputs -how it felt and how it sounded -together with physical correct haptic interaction and with accurate synchronization. This arrangement makes it very plausible that the two sensory inputs came from a common source. We used a two-interval forced-choice discrimination procedure to determine the point of subjective equality of the loudness between a stiff and a soft plucked string. When the stiffness of the string was low, the sound was perceived to be softer. Interestingly, this effect was found only when the first string was less stiff than the second string plucked during a comparison. The results are consistent with the inverse effectiveness principle of multisensory integration.
