Activation in SI and SII; the influence of vibrotactile amplitude during passive and task-relevant stimulation
Abstract
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), responses in human somatosensory cortex were quantified in response to changes in the amplitude of peripheral stimulation during (1) passive vibration and (2) an attention-demanding tactile tracking task whereby changes in vibration amplitude were used to guide motor behaviour. Functional MRI was conducted using a scanner operating at 1.5 T, and vibration was delivered to the volar surface of …
