How does the somatosensory system process tactile information?

Methods of projecting the tactile information into space are still being developed.

Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications.

They also display the knowledge of objects when tested with tactile or verbal information.

There is no ability of one sense to supply information to the other - in this case visual and tactile information.

My other information channels-auditory, tactile, olfactory and gustatory-are involved with much lower transfer rates.

Current robotic and prosthetic hands receive far less tactile information than the human hand.

Their antennae are sensitive to both smells and tactile information.

In some cases, tactile information is also remembered implicitly.

The leash, when worn, begins to provide him strange tactile information, such as points for each enemy he kills.
