Add to ORKGIn this chapter, we are concerned with what our touch receptors and the associated central nervous structures do. Our description begins with the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the touch receptors followed by a comprehensive psychophysical overview of touch sensation and perception. The conditions under which touch sensations and perception arise and the rules that govern them will also be described
