In the present review, we focus on how commonalities in the ontogenetic development of the
auditory and tactile sensory systems may inform the interplay between these signals in the …

Temporal frequency is a fundamental sensory dimension in audition and touch. In audition,
analysis of temporal frequency is necessary for speech and music perception [1]; in touch …

The oculomotor system keeps the eyes steady in expectation of visual events. Here,
recording microsaccades while people performed a tactile, frequency discrimination task …

Motor imagery (MI) has been largely studied as a way to enhance motor learning and to
restore motor functions. Although it is agreed that users should emphasize kinesthetic …

Although the somatosensory homunculus is a classically used description of the way
somatosensory inputs are processed in the brain, the actual contributions of primary (SI) and …

We investigated to which extent the discrimination of tactile patterns and vibrotactile
frequencies share common cortical areas. An adaptation paradigm has been used to identify …

Sensitivity to location and frequency of tactile stimuli is a characterizing feature of human
primary (S1), and secondary (S2) somatosensory cortices. Recent evidence suggests that …

Modulation on cerebral cortex and cerebral networks can induce reorganization of the brain,
which contributes to rehabilitation. Previous studies have proved that focal vibration (FV) on …

In the human mechanosensation system, rapidly adapting afferents project sensory signals
of flutter (5–50Hz) to the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and bilateral …

Neurophysiological data suggest that the integration of prior information and incoming
sensory evidence represents the neural basis of the decision-making process. Here, we …
