  • Title: Sensory neuroscience: from skin to object in the somatosensory cortex.
    Author: Haggard P.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2006 Oct 24; 16(20):R884-6. PubMed ID: 17055972.
    Abstract:
    Humans can perceive the shape of objects by touch alone, by extracting geometric features such as edges. Recently recorded responses of single neurons in the secondary somatosensory cortex of monkeys suggest how the brain integrates tactile shape information across different regions of skin and builds up a representation of tactile objects.
