Abstract:Skin location of touch is said to be recoded, by default, into a 3D-spatial location. Here, human participants received tactile stimulus pairs on a common or on two different limbs and judged either whether stimuli had occurred on the same limb, or on a common side of space. Misaligning skin and 3D-spatial codes through limb crossing had a stronger effect on spatial than on limb judgments, contradicting the notion that the 3D location of touch is readily available. Additionally, crossing effects were significa… Show more
