Support for the slip hypothesis from whisker-related tactile perception of rats in a noisy environment

Support for the slip hypothesis from whisker-related tactile perception of rats in a noisy environment

Rodents use active whisker movements to explore their environment. The ‘slip hypothesis’ of whisker-related tactile perception entails that short-lived kinematic events (abrupt whisker movements, called ‘slips’, due to bioelastic whisker properties that occur during active touch of textures) carry t...
