A Tactile Virtual Reality for the Study of Active Somatosensation

A Tactile Virtual Reality for the Study of Active Somatosensation

Natural exploration of textures involves active sensing, i.e., voluntary movements of tactile sensors (e.g., human fingertips or rodent whiskers) across a target surface. Somatosensory input during moving tactile sensors varies according to both the movement and the surface texture. Combining motor...
