One third of the manuscript deals with the design of a set-up to deliver tactile stimulation to a human subject. Using microneurography, we recorded the neural response of the mecanoreceptors during a controlled stimulation. The set-up provides precise control over the position, the orientation, the speed and the loading force of a stimulus that we machined on a micro-mill. Thus we can study the transduction of the information, from initially contained in the surface geometry up to the neural coding. The second part shows the construction of Single Plane Illumination Microscope designed to record the neuronal activity of a zebrafish larva. We aim at recording the whole chain of transmission from the sensor to the brain. The fish are genetic...
