Evolution of object identity information in sensorimotor cortex throughout grasp

Yuke Yan, Anton R. Sobinov, James M. Goodman, Elizaveta V. Okorokova, Lee E Miller, Sliman J. Bensmaı̈a

The paper examines how object identity is represented in sensorimotor cortex during the transition from hand opening to grasping, finding that neural representation shifts from motor and proprioceptive areas before contact to cutaneous and integrative somatosensory areas after contact.
