The sense of touch is initiated by stimulation of peripheral mechanoreceptors, and then the
spatio-temporal pattern of the receptors' activation is interpreted by central cortical …

Accurate perception of sub-second tactile duration is critical for successful human-machine
interaction and human daily life. However, it remains debated where the cortical processing …

Spatial distortions in touch have been investigated since the 19th century. For example, two
touches applied to the hand dorsum feel farther apart when aligned with the mediolateral …

We report a series of three experiments designed to examine the effect of posture on tactile
temporal processing. Observers reported which of two tactile stimuli, presented to the left …

Shore et al.[DI Shore, E. Spry, C. Spence, Spatial modulation of tactile temporal order
judgments, Perception (submitted for publication)] recently demonstrated that people find it …

The ability to report the temporal order of 2 tactile stimuli (1 applied to each hand) has been
shown to decline when the arms are crossed over compared with when they are uncrossed …

Little is known about the neuronal mechanisms underlying the temporal ordering of tactile
signals. We examined the brain regions involved in judgments of the temporal order of …

Studies have shown that judgments about the temporal order of two successive tactile
stimuli delivered to left and right index fingers are less accurate with hands crossed. We …

The perception of tactile temporal order, the order of multiple touches to the skin in time, has
long been a topic of research in psychophysics but has drawn new attention since the …

Successive tactile stimuli, delivered one to each hand, are referred to spatial representation
before they are ordered in time (Yamamoto and Kitazawa in Nat Neurosci 4: 759–765 …
