Neural representations of haptic object size in the human brain revealed by multivoxel fMRI patternsPerini, F. (author), Powell, T. (author), Watt, S.J. (author), Downing, P.E. (author)The brain must interpret sensory input from diverse receptor systems to estimate object properties. Much has been learned about the brain mechanisms behind these processes in vision, but our understanding of haptic perception remains less clear. Here we examined haptic judgments of object size, which require integrating multiple cutaneous and...article 2020
