Characterization of the Mechanosensitivity of Tactile Receptors using Multivariate Logistical Regression
Tactile sensation is a complex manifestation of mechanical stimuli applied to the skin. At the most fundamental level of the somatosensory system is the cutaneous mechanoreceptor, making it the logical starting point in the bottom-up approach to understanding the somatosensory system and sensation,...
