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 …

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

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 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 …

Touch is bound to the skin–that is, to the boundaries of the body. Yet, the activity of neurons
in primary somatosensory cortex just mirrors the spatial distribution of the sensors across the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
