Distributed functions of detection and discrimination of vibrotactile stimuli in the hierarchical human somatosensory system

According to the hierarchical view of human somatosensory network, somatic sensory information is relayed from the thalamus to primary somatosensory cortex (S1), and then distributed to adjacent cortical regions to perform further perceptual and cognitive functions. Although a number of neuroimaging...
