'Katarzyna Piwowar-Sulej'] The research described herein is based on the assumptions of the sensory processing sensitivity concept and the meta framework for the concept of environmental sensitivity. The adopted theoretical framework shows that individuals differ in their sensitivity to the environment, with some being…

'Antonio Lázaro'] Sensor arrays are arrangements of sensors that follow a certain pattern, usually in a row-column distribution. This study presents a systematic review on sensor arrays. For this purpose, several systematic searches of recent studies covering a period of 10 years were performed. As a result of these…

The classical way of physical and chemical sensing involves the measurement of the value of a physical quantity in the detector/sensor. FES was first proposed and developed for chemical and gas sensing that mimics the biological way of sensing in the analogy that the sensed agent changes the statistics of the neural…

Wide availability of highly palatable foods is often blamed for the rising incidence of obesity. As palatability is largely determined by the sensory properties of food, this study investigated how sensitivity to these properties affects how much we eat. Forty females were classified as either high or low in sensory…

This study introduces sensory responsivity (SR), which describes individual differences in sensory stimuli response strength and is hypothesised to affect stress responses in students and, in turn, their learning. To investigate this, a scale to assess SR was developed and linked to physiological responses. To this…

Since the previous special issue: State-of-the-Art Sensor Technology in Japan in 2008, which collected papers on sensing technology for monitoring of humans and the environment, we have experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami on 11 March 2011. This special issue, while aiming in the same direction, focuses…

Tactile Sensing Authors: ['Devin Murphy' 'Junyi Zhu' 'Paul Pu Liang' 'Wojciech Matusik' 'Yiyue Luo'] Tactile sensors present a powerful means of capturing, analyzing, and augmenting human-environment interactions. Accelerated by advancements in design and manufacturing, resistive matrix-based sensing has emerged as a…

Biomarkers detection have become essential in medical diagnostics and early detection of life-threatening diseases. Modern-day medicine relies heavily on painful and invasive tests, the extraction of large volumes of venous blood being the most common tool of biomarker detection. These tests are time-consuming…

Enzymatic reactions are used to detect analytes in a range of biochemical methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). To measure the presence of an analyte, they are conjugated to a recognition unit and convert a substrate into a (colored) product that is detectable by visible (VIS) light. Thus, the…

The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from harmful pathogens. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are small proteins that play a vital role in the immune system's defense mechanism. Among the five classes of immunoglobulins…

Cellular processes are carried out by many interacting genes and their study and optimization requires multiple levers by which they can be independently controlled. The most common method is via a genetically-encoded sensor that responds to a small molecule (an “inducible system”). However, these sensors are often…

'Peter Eames'] We report on the noise performance characteristics of magnetic sensors using both magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) elements. Each sensor studied has a notably different noise and detectivity. Of the sensors we measured, those based on GMR multilayers have the lowest noise…

Robotic systems increasingly demand tactile sensing that approaches the adaptability and resolution of human skin to enable dexterous manipulation and safe interaction. OptiTac is a biomimetic tactile sensor that emulates the mechanoreceptor-to-nerve architecture of human touch by pairing each mechanical pin on a soft…

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a common risk to human health in industrial and domestic settings. VOCs are often present at concentrations that cannot be detected through human odor perception. VOC sensors are, therefore, urgently needed for home and workplace environmental monitoring, including wearable sensors…

Optical sensors/probes are powerful tools to identify and image (biological) molecules. Because of their optoelectronic properties, nanomaterials are often used as building blocks. Such nanosensors are assembled from an optically sensitive nanomaterial, a (biological) recognition unit, and linker chemistry that…

Cells need to reliably sense external ligand concentrations to achieve various biological functions such as chemotaxis or signaling. The molecular recognition of ligands by surface receptors is degenerate in many systems leading to crosstalk between different receptors. Crosstalk is often thought of as a deviation from…

Sentience is the capacity of organisms to feel and experience through subjective states. During the last years, several investigations have indicated that response mechanisms to harmful stimuli can be highly conserved among the Metazoa. However, there is a research bias towards vertebrates in the available studies.…

Near infrared (NIR) signals are beneficial for biomedical applications due to reduced light absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence in this range, which promises higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) fluoresce in the NIR (800 nm – 1700 nm) and serve as building blocks for…

Understanding how controlled mechanical vibrations applied to the skin translate into tactile sensations is key in advancing our understanding of somatosensory perception and using this in haptic applications. Prior research has established psychophysical thresholds and discrimination levels for vibrotactile stimuli…

Haptic feedback is important to make robots more dexterous and effective in unstructured environments. High-resolution haptic sensors are still not widely available, and their application is often bound by the resolution-robustness dilemma. A route towards high-resolution and robust skin embeds a few sensor units…

In many gas sensing tasks, we simply wish to become aware of gas compositions that deviate from normal, "business-as-usual" conditions. We provide a methodology, illustrated by example, to computationally predict the performance of a gas sensor array design for detecting anomalous gas compositions. Specifically, we…
