TOUCH PERCEPTIONS ACROSS SKIN SITES: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SENSITIVITY, DIRECTION DISCRIMINATION AND PLEASANTNESS

Touch perceptions across skin sites: differences between sensitivity, direction discrimination and pleasantness

Human skin is innervated with different tactile afferents over the body, which are found at varying densities.We investigate how the relationships between tactile pleasantness, sensitivity and discrimination differ across the skin.Tactile pleasantness was assessed by stroking a soft brush over the skin, using five velocities (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 cm s
