Towards explaining spatial touch perception: Weighted integration of multiple location codes

S Badde, T Heed - Cognitive neuropsychology, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
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 …
