To perform an action toward a touch, the tactile spatial representation must be transformed
from a skin-based, anatomical reference frame into an external reference frame. Evidence …

To estimate the location of a tactile stimulus, the brain seems to integrate different types of
spatial information such as skin-based, anatomical coordinates and external, spatiotopic …

Spatial localization of touch is critically dependent upon coordinate transformation between
different reference frames, which must ultimately allow for alignment between somatotopic …

Different reference frames appear to be relevant for tactile spatial coding. When participants
give temporal order judgments (TOJ) of two tactile stimuli, one on each hand, performance …

Touch location can be specified in different anatomical and external reference frames.
Temporal order judgments (TOJs) in touch are known to be sensitive to conflict between …

To respond to a touch, it is often necessary to localize it in space, and not just on the skin.
The computation of this external spatial location involves the integration of somatosensation …

We examined the effect of spatial factors and hemispheric lateralization upon hand-
scanning strategies in 14 right-handed men tested in a tactual—tactual matching task. The …

The position of gaze (eye plus head position) relative to body is known to alter the perceived
locations of sensory targets. This effect suggests that perceptual space is at least partially …

Tactile perception and motor production share the use of internally-and externally-defined
coordinates. In order to examine how visual experience affects the internal/external coding …

To act upon a tactile stimulus its original skin-based, anatomical spatial code has to be
transformed into an external, posture-dependent reference frame, a process known as tactile …
