About

Alexey Semirechenko investigates the neural and physiological underpinnings of tactile perception, with a focus on how the brain processes distinct types of touch and how these mechanisms differ in clinical populations. His work bridges sensory neuroscience, psychophysics, and biomarker research. In a key 2023 study (11 citations), he developed a paradigm to probe oscillatory brain responses to tactile stimuli varying in force and velocity, revealing distinct neural signatures for different touch submodalities. A related 2023 paper (8 citations) characterized brain functional network configurations specific to these tactile types, advancing understanding of how sensory subsystems interact. Notably, Semirechenko’s research extends to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), where he demonstrated that robotic touch modulates salivary oxytocin and antioxidative responses in autistic adults (5 citations), linking tactile processing to social and stress-related biomarkers. This work offers promising avenues for non-pharmacological interventions. By integrating EEG, network analysis, and endocrinology, Semirechenko is shaping a multi-level view of touch—from neural oscillations to hormonal response—with implications for sensory health and neurodevelopmental conditions.
