Humans localize touch on hand-held tools by interpreting the unique vibratory patterns elicited by impact to different parts of the tool. This perceptual strategy differs markedly from localizing touch on the skin. A new study shows that, nonetheless, touch location is probably processed similarly for skin and tool already early in somatosensory cortex.
人类通过解释手持工具不同部位受到撞击时产生的独特振动模式来定位触摸。这种感知策略与皮肤触摸的定位明显不同。一项新的研究表明,尽管如此,触觉位置在躯体感觉皮层中可能已经在早期就以类似的方式处理皮肤和工具。
