Tactile localization entails the transformation of the initial skin-based location into an
external reference frame that accounts for body posture and subsequent flexible integration …

The processing of touch depends of multiple factors, such as the properties of the skin and
type of receptors stimulated, as well as features related to the actual configuration and …

Our skin is a two-dimensional sheet that can be folded into a multitude of configurations due
to the mobility of our body parts. Parts of the human tactile system might account for this …

Across many cultures people conceptualize time as extending along a horizontal Mental
Time Line (MTL). This spatial mapping of time has been shown to depend on experience …

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 …

Where we perceive a touch putatively depends on topographic maps that code the touch's
location on the skin [1] as well as its position in external space [2–5]. However, neither …

Localizing touch in space is essential for goal-directed action. Because body posture
changes, the brain must transform tactile coordinates from an initial skin-based …

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 …

This study demonstrates evidence for a foundational process underlying active vision in
older infants during object play. Using head-mounted eye-tracking and motion capture …

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 …
