A Star‐Nose‐Inspired Bionic Soft Robot for Nonvisual Spatial Detection and Reconstruction by Qiwei Shan, Yunqi Cao, Haozhen Chi, Shuyu Fan, Ziying Zhu, Dibo Hou

“…The star‐nosed mole is recognized as a tactilely sensitive mammal due to its unique nose, which facilitates spatial detection in dark environments through touch using its appendages enveloped in numerous sensory receptors. This article introduces a bionic soft robot inspired by the star‐nosed mole, which combines a pneumatic soft platform with a polydimethylsiloxane–polyethylene terephthalate cylindrical tactile sensor array based on bilayer single‐electrode triboelectric nanogenerators, mimicking the muscle tissue of the mole's nose and the cylindrical appendages surrounded by Eimer's organs. …”

Dancing Hands: On Neurodivergent Embodied Knowledge by Anna Püschel

“…Neurodivergent individuals stim extensively due to frequently occurring sensory issues. I argue that parallel to movements of “queering” public spaces that result in increasing safety for all gender identities, “cripping” spaces through adjusting them to neurodivergent needs can be beneficial to everyone in a competitive capitalist environment such as the art world: from education to art spaces and academia that host an increasing number of artistic researchers. …”

Human Self-Experience in the Garden: Horticulotherapy from an Ontological-Axiological Perspective by Marlena Kilian, Michał Paluch

“…It has been established that passive and active horticultural therapy includes activities involving the physical (sensations), mental (cognition), emotional (affections) and spiritual (reflections) spheres, which have been distinguished as internal human activities, while active garden therapy additionally involves the functional sphere as its external activity. Exposure to sensory stimuli initiates changes in a person’s cognitive, emotional and spiritual sensitivity, leading to self-cognition. …”

“Gestures of Air and Stone”: Translating Ethan Frome into Dance in Cathy Marston’s Snowblind by Adeline Chevrier-Bosseau

“…After examining how American Delsartism and dance might have shaped Edith Wharton’s understanding of the physical expression of affect through non-verbal gestures of air and stone and influenced the composition of Ethan Frome, this article explores how Cathy Marston drew on the affective and sensory elements in the novella to propose her own somatic and choreographic reading, therefore offering readers and ballet audiences alike a reflection on what literature feels like.…”
