Importance of temporal cues for tactile spatial- frequency discrimination.
While scanning a textured surface with fingers, tactile information is encoded both spatially, by differential activation of adjacent receptors, and temporally, by changes in receptor activation during movements of the fingers across the surface. We used a tactile discrimination task to examine the dependence of human tactile perception on the availability of spatial and temporal cues. Subjects...
متن کاملAre spatial frequency cues used for whisker-based active discrimination?
Rats are highly skilled in discriminating objects and textures by palpatory movements of their whiskers. If they used spatial frequency cues, they would be able to optimize performance in a stimulus dependent way-by moving their whisker faster or slower across the texture surface, thereby shifting the frequency content of the neuronal signal toward an optimal working range for perception. We te...
متن کاملLearning of tactile frequency discrimination in humans.
Learning is based on the remodeling of neural connections in the brain. The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which training-induced improvements in tactile frequency discrimination in humans are correlated with an increase of cortical representations in the primary somatosensory cortex. Healthy male subjects (n = 16) were trained in a tactile frequency discrimination ta...
متن کاملTemporal cues contribute to tactile perception of roughness.
Optimal perception of surface roughness requires lateral movement between skin and surface, suggesting the importance of temporal cues. The roughness of periodic gratings is affected by changing either inter-element spacing (groove width, G) or element width (ridge width, R). Peripheral neural responses to gratings depend quantitatively on a spatial variable, G, and a temporal variable, grating...
متن کاملSpatial frequency discrimination in schizophrenia.
Pathways within the visual system can be distinguished on the basis of selectivity for low or high spatial frequencies. Spatial frequency discrimination was evaluated in 17 medicated male patients with schizophrenia and 19 male control subjects. Subjects were required to discriminate whether pairs of high contrast, sinusoidally modulated gratings were the same or different in spatial frequency....
