title: Tactile shape processing.
abstract: Neuroimaging techniques may aid in the identification of areas of the human brain that are involved in tactile shape perception. Bodegård et al. (2001) relate differences in the properties of tactile stimuli to differences in areas of cortical activation to infer tactile processing in the somatosensory network.
