Integration of vibrotactile frequency information beyond the mechanoreceptor channel and somatotopy
Abstract A wide variety of tactile sensations arise from the activation of several types of mechanoreceptor-afferent channels scattered all over the body, and their projections create a somatotopic map in the somatosensory cortex. Recent findings challenge the traditional view that tactile signals f...
