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 …

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 …

Little is known about the neuronal mechanisms underlying the temporal ordering of tactile
signals. We examined the brain regions involved in judgments of the temporal order of …

Both space and time are grossly distorted during saccades. Here we show that the two
distortions are strongly linked, and that both could be a consequence of the transient …

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 …

Saccades cause compression of visual space around the saccadic target, and also a
compression of time, both phenomena thought to be related to the problem of maintaining …

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

Temporal processing is fundamental for an accurate synchronization between motor
behaviour and sensory processing. Here, we investigate how motor timing during rhythmic …

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 …

When humans indicate on which hand a tactile stimulus occurred, they often err when their
hands are crossed. This finding seemingly supports the view that the automatically …
