Abstract

This study investigates how friction is encoded by mechanoreceptors in the human finger pad and how the resulting neural code is interpreted by the brain. It is hoped that an understanding of mechanisms that underlie tactile coding may provide the benchmark needed to design robotics that can perform well in unstructured environments, inform the design of sensory feedback devices, and possibly guide the development of new methods to improve upon therapies for individuals with neurological disorders.
