Feedback for active hand prosthesis
Trajlinek, Jan ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the solution for feedback of active prostheses to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the biological somatosensory system, and at the same time to prevent any limitations to the patient and provide the patient with as much useful information about the sensual touch as possible. With regard to these factors, the system for the detection of forces acting on the limb and the subsequent transmission of this signal to the user´s limb is proposed. This system is designed particularly for an already constructed prosthesis manufactured by Ing. Štěpán Brázdil within the diploma thesis from 2020. The thesis describes the biological response, on which all substitutive and artificial responses are based on. The thesis then further describes these substitutive and artificial responses and aims to find solution, how the biological response can be more or less replaced.

Landscaping and other limits. (The Prehension of the landscape in the Art and Art Education throught exploration of the fine art)
Zástěrová, Alena ; Velíšek, Martin (advisor) ; Daniel, Ladislav (referee)
/ a b s t r a c t This thesis deals with the environment of the landscape in connection to movements of the body and of the mind which result in an art gesture. It closely focuses on an individual experience of a landscape as a unique environment. It explains concepts and speculates about their meanings. Through interviews, the thesis presents different approaches to art from plethora of artists, who work in and with the landscape. It deals with a didactic project which aspires to inspire students to think more deeply about the environment that surrounds them and to communicate their understanding o fit through art. Personal artworks created in Finland in the Arctic Circle region capture motion in the landscape of the nature and that of the mind.

Cerebral projection of haptic contact via sLORETA imaging
Dubová, Dita ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Cerebral projection of haptic contact via sLORETA imaging Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate changes in intracerebral source activity via sLORETA imaging during haptic stimulation of hands, while this contact is modified by a mirror illusion in comparison to calm state with open eyes. The work seeks to specify localization of such activity. Methods: Ten healthy volunteers aged 23-42 participated in the experiment. The electrical brain activity was detected with scalp EEG. The experiment was divided in 5 phases. First we measured the brain activity during calm state with open and with closed eyes, each for 5 minutes. Afterwards the subjects were seated at a table with a mirror occluding their right hand and reflecting their left hand. The brain activity was than recorded during 4 modifications of the experiment in duration of 2 minutes each. The first modification contained symmetrical haptic contact on both hands, modification 2 involved stimulation on the left hand only, during modification 3 the stimulus was applied on the right hand only and modification 4 had no tactile stimulus on neither side. The order of modifications for each individual was randomized. The EEG data were converted into sLORETA program, which allows to localize the source of the recorded brain activity...

Haptic as a means of interspecific communication between dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and human
Jurásková, Karolína ; Santariová, Milena (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
Even though haptics is an integral constituent of the intraspecific communication between man and dog, it is studied in lesser extent to its sibling disciplines. This paper consolidates existing findings about means of tactile communication man and dog demonstrate when engaged in reciprocal sharing of information. The complexity of intraspecific communication between these two species is quite unique and mostly enabled by the evolutionary processes of domestication, which in effect made dogs more adapt to understanding human signalling more tightly than what is the case for other primates. Given how the dog and the man use haptics withing the bounds of intraspecific communication, the relationship evolved beyond it and towards the realm of relational interactions. Let us then, characterize the individual types of signals and their meanings. Tactile signals find their use in both the everyday life and during a training by a professional. Touch can be used as negative and positive reinforcement. It can be stressful to the dog if perceived negatively or calming if perceived positively. Relaxational effects of tactile contact is also used by a form of rehabilitation called animal assisted therapy. Given the variability of haptic stimuli, both acting species can manifest a plethora of...

A Touch Sensor on the Glass Plate with a Backlit Pictogram
Jánešová, Daniela ; Levek, Vladimír (referee) ; Šťáva, Martin (advisor)
This thesis describes the solution of controlling device by capacitive-touch sensor. The geometry of the sensor is solved on standard printed circuit board, which is placed on the glass-made panel. In general, the theme of touch sensors is solved in the world by several companies and it is based on capacitive principles. They are described at the beginning of the work. By far, the main part of the work is focused on specific solutions with chosen integrated circuit for evaluation of touch sensor.

Analysis of Infant Mass Effect according to IAIM methodology
PELEŠKOVÁ, Anna
This diploma thesis deals with infant massage and its associated effects. The work has been carried out through a qualitative method through a case study which monitors the close interaction between a child and their parent. The theoretical part contains information about the International Infant Massage Association, whose method of massage we have used to carry out this work. We also focus on the prenatal, perinatal and postnatal period in the research; both in terms of physiological development of the child under one year and in terms of the future mother. As for the mother, we are also concerned with their physical activity during pregnancy and after birth. We explain how important the actual touch is in a massage and discuss how the massage affects the baby and the technique used. The synthetic part contains individual case reports, evaluation. In conclusion, all participating mothers evaluate the IAIM methodology positively.

Dialogue with a landscape
Lojková, Ester ; Velíšek, Martin (advisor) ; Sedlák, Michal (referee)
In my thesis I deal with other views of the countryside. I try to outline the various aspects. I deal with aspects of historical, religious and artistic. It is about finding ones own place in the landscape. About finding herself through travel, journey. About the perception of the landscape. About the memory of the landscape. As it gradually reveals. It is hidden in its elements, such as rocks, water, trees and others.About he restoration of the basic things, perception, a phenomenon prior to creation itself, such as painting, body art or action art. Than I try to convert these elements into the work in he school - the proposed art lines.

Contacts
MORAVCOVÁ, Soňa
This diploma is devided into two major parts. Theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I consider the meaning of touch which is ambiguouse. Fist of all it should express, by the form of art, our desire and necessity to establish into relationship with another human-being, get in touch and get to know each other. By the time of working at this cycle my form is beginning to change. Touch doesn´t only express relationship but they´re also recording my touching, getting to know myself. The practical part of my thesis focus on production figures. It consists of a cycle of paintings, fiberboard of various sizes made by acrylic technique. These paintings capture directly human bodies in positions of touching, proximity, delay. They capture the joy in positions of direct touch againts deprivation when a person is deprived of contact with another person. The starting point of this thesis is personality and emocionality.
