tactile perception

Mice can be tricked into thinking rubber tails belong to them, indicating they perceive body ownership similar to the way humans do.

Trained musicians appear to have superior multisensory processing skills, according to research presented at the Society for Neuroscience conference.

In a variation of the classic rubber-hand experiment, researchers have shown how the macaque brain can confuse visual and tactile stimuli.

Scientists probe our sense of touch for a feedback loop between sensation and motion.

A subject participates in an experiment devised by Weizmann Institute of Science researcher Ehud Ahissar to probe the neurological mechanics of tactile sensations.

Why is tactile perception so fundamental to life?
