(Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect antennae have long fascinated scientists with their remarkable ability to detect an array of environmental stimuli, from vibrations and surface textures to magnetic fields.

Depending on the sensory processing disorder (SPD), the best assistive devices for specific conditions can range from low-tech options to more advanced ones. Either way, the devices should engage the ...
