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
Touch using the hands is essential for recognizing surface features and manipulating objects, where different aspects are encoded by four main types of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMs) in glabrou...

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.
Proprioception as a sensory root for body and motor awareness
Salvato et al. report that proprioceptive deficits predict both disturbed sensation of ownership and anosognosia for hemiplegia following right-hemisphere
