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 …

To perceive the location of a tactile stimulus in external space (external tactile localisation),
information about the location of the stimulus on the skin surface (tactile localisation on the …

Tactile localization entails the transformation of the initial skin-based location into an
external reference frame that accounts for body posture and subsequent flexible integration …

Tactile stimulus location is automatically transformed from somatotopic into external spatial
coordinates, rendering information about the location of touch in three-dimensional space …

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 …

Spatial target information for movement planning appears to be coded in a gaze-centered
reference frame. In touch, however, location is initially coded with reference to the skin …

Localizing touch in space is essential for goal-directed action. Because body posture
changes, the brain must transform tactile coordinates from an initial skin-based …

The localisation of tactile stimuli requires the integration of visual and somatosensory inputs
within an internal representation of the body surface and is prone to consistent bias. Joints …

Reacting to a touch on the skin often requires the remapping of the initial somatotopicaly‐
based representation of the stimulus into an external frame of reference that incorporates …

Localizing tactile stimulation is an important capability for everyday function and may be
impaired in people with persistent pain. This study sought to provide a detailed description …
