New #preprint on modeling fingertip mechanoreceptor responses to #touch of varying speed, force & texture using #microneurography where information is represented across mechanoreceptor classes, each contributing differently-weighted inputs with Victoria Lang, Helena Backlund Wasling, Johan Wessberg
Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

The sense of ownership and agency stem from proprioception, the sensory root of self-awareness. In a group of 46 right-brain-damaged patients, the disruption of a bilateral parietal network underlies proprioceptive deficits leading to ownership disorders and anosognosia for hemiplegia.
