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 …

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 …

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 …

Performance on tactile temporal order judgments (TOJs) is impaired when the hands are
crossed over the midline. The cause of this effect appears to be tied to the use of an external …

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 …

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 …

Several recent studies have provided support for the view that tactile stimuli/events are
remapped into an abstract spatial frame of reference beyond the initial somatotopic …

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 …

Introduction Our brain continuously maps our body in space. It has been suggested that at
least two main frames of reference are used to process somatosensory stimuli presented on …
