SA-I Mechanoreceptor Position in Fingertip Skin May Impact Sensitivity to Edge Stimuli
Background: The skin plays a role in conditioning mechanical indentation into distributions of stress/strain that mechanoreceptors convert into neural signals. Solid mechanics methods have modelled the skin to predict the in vivo neural response from mechanoreceptors. Despite their promise, current...
