TLDR
This demo presents an on-going work on the development of a novel haptic device designed to be used by elders to stimuli and quantify the nervous system responsiveness through a serious game.Abstract:
Human senses are one of main functions of the human body, as they provide feedback from the environment that help on performing everyday activities. However, with age the sensing ability tends to decrease, as well as, the capacity to process in real-time the perceived information. This demo presents an on-going work on the development of a novel haptic device designed to be used by elders to stimuli and quantify the nervous system responsiveness through a serious game. The game uses a temperature controlled element, where elders place one hand, and a basic task used to perceived information. As a function of the felt temperature, the elder has to make a decision, by classifying an objet according with his own temperature perception, as hot, or cold. Thus this game provides a simple way elders' can use to generate a temperature stimulus to their brains and training as well, the motion control to place the object in the right place.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a non-invasive temperature sensation method is proposed to train amputees to sense temperature with psychophysical sensory substitution, where an adjustable temperature mug and a Peltier were used to change the temperature of the water/phantom digits to induce temperature to participants.

Conditional modification of behavior in Drosophila by targeted expression of a temperature-sensitive shibire allele in defined neurons.
TL;DR: These observations show that the GAL4/UAS system can be used to express shi(ts1) in a specific subset of neurons to cause temperature-dependent changes in behavior, and this method will be useful to study the functional significance of particular neuronal subsets in the behavior of intact animals.

TRP ion channels in the nervous system.
TL;DR: In the central nervous system, TRPs participate in neurite outgrowth, receptor signalling and excitotoxic cell death resulting from anoxia, and are emerging as essential cellular switches that allow animals to respond to their environments.
