Members of the Nakatani Laboratory participated in EuroHaptics 2026<\/strong>, held in Siena and Rome, Italy, where we presented two research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first presentation was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poster Session (PS 22)<\/strong>
Sweetness in the Eye of the Beholder: Visual Color and Shape Influence Sweetness via Inferred Softness<\/strong><\/em>
Nao Kokaji, Masashi Nakatani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study investigated how visual cues, such as color and shape, influence perceived sweetness through inferred softness. The findings provide new insights into crossmodal perception and the mechanisms through which visual information shapes flavor expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second presentation was delivered in the Work-in-Progress Session<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work-in-Progress Session (PS 62)<\/strong>
Morphology of Ruffini Endings and the Design of Biomimetic Sensor<\/a><\/strong><\/em>
Masashi Nakatani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work introduced a biomimetic tactile sensor inspired by the morphology of Ruffini endings. By focusing on the elongated structure of this slowly adapting mechanoreceptor, we discussed a new design concept for artificial tactile sensors capable of detecting skin stretch and deformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our own presentations, we were delighted to reunite with Yang Gao<\/strong>, a research collaborator from Professor Charles Spence's laboratory at the University of Oxford. It was wonderful to catch up after our collaborative research in Oxford and to exchange ideas on future projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yang presented the following work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poster Session (PS 41)<\/strong>
Enhancing the Experience of Film with a Wearable Tactile\/Haptic Suit<\/a><\/strong><\/em>
Yang Gao, Guoqiang Liu, Charles Spence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His research explores how wearable tactile technology can enhance the cinematic experience by integrating tactile stimulation with audiovisual media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroHaptics once again provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers from around the world. The conference was followed by the EuroHaptics Summer School, where students and early-career researchers engaged in lively discussions with leading scientists in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sincerely thank everyone who visited our posters and shared valuable comments and suggestions. We look forward to further developing these projects and strengthening our international collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
