How tactile afferents in the human fingerpad encode tangential torques associated with manipulation: are we better than monkeys?

Alastair J. Loutit, Heather E. Wheat, Heba Khamis, Richard Martin Vickery, Vaughan Gary Macefield, Ingvars Birznieks

This study compares how human and monkey tactile afferents encode tangential torques during fingerpad manipulation, finding human SA-I afferents less sensitive than monkey counterparts but potentially compensated by SA-II afferents.
