How tactile afferents in the human fingerpad encode tangential torques associated with manipulation: are we better than monkeys?

2022-07-13

Abstract excerpt

Dexterous object manipulation depends critically on information about forces normal and tangential to the fingerpads, and also on torque associated with object orientation at grip surfaces. In this study we investigated how torque information is encoded by human tactile afferents, including slowly adapting type-II (SA-II) afferents, in the fingerpads. SA-II afferent properties seemed perfectly suited for torque en...
