Document Summary
Is many different types of senses, which interact with each other. We only focus on what happens on the skin, when thinking about touch. Proprioception one of the most important senses that we have. We need proper muscle sense (even more impairing than losing your vision) You move your hands around to explore something. You use to fingers to explore the environment. The entire time she was exploring the object, she didn"t feel anything but the pen (demo). You extracted important information from the subject, even though you aren"t directly holding it or coming in contact with it. This demonstrates that our brain is able to piece information together, even if it"s very indirect. We subtract information from the pen to look beyond the pen and focus on the subject (the blackboard eraser) 2 locations and you may have stimulation at one of these points, and they see which part of the somatosensory cortex lights up.
