“…Concordant activation peaked in BA 2 of the left SI, which is associated with the processing of tactile and proprioceptive input (Hyvärinen & Poranen, 1978 ; Padberg et al., 2019 ; Pons et al., 1985 ). Furthermore, the tactile stimulation of the fingers is consistently associated with activation of BA 2 (Hlushchuk & Hari, 2006 ; Holmes et al., 2019 ; Janko et al., 2022 ; Puckett et al., 2020 ), suggesting concordant activation in the SI corresponds to the finger area. Active touch engages sensorimotor circuits in the PPC, including the SMG located in the IPL, and activation in these regions has been associated with sensorimotor integration (Arikan et al., 2021 ; Batista et al., 1999 ; Battaglia‐Mayer et al., 2000 ; Buneo et al., 2002 ; Buneo & Andersen, 2006 ; Ferraina et al., 1997 ; Hyvärinen, 1982 ; Lamp et al., 2019 ; Mountcastle et al., 1975 ; Naito et al., 2005 ; Snyder et al., 1997 ).…”
