Tactile sensory channels over-ruled by frequency decoding system that utilizes spike pattern regardless of receptor type

Tactile sensory channels over-ruled by frequency decoding system that utilizes spike pattern regardless of receptor type

The established view is that vibrotactile stimuli evoke two qualitatively distinctive cutaneous sensations, flutter (frequencies < 60 Hz) and vibratory hum (frequencies > 60 Hz), subserved by two distinct receptor types (Meissner’s and Pacinian corpuscle, respectively), which may engag...
