The ability of subjects to discriminate between directions of a point contact moving across the fingerpad was examined. Subjects were required to report, using an adaptive two-interval, two-alternative forced-choice procedure, whether in two sequential stimuli, the apparent direction of motion changed in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The overall mean discrimination threshold across eight stimulus orientations was approximately 14°, with the lowest threshold for the point motion towards the wrist. The results indicate that the lower threshold in the distal-to-proximal direction was most likely due to increased skin tension at the tip of the nail, whereby the skin in front of a moving contact point is subjected to compression an...
