Our ability to sense, discriminate and interpret touch stimuli underpins some of the most crucial functions of the human hand that relate to object exploration and manipulation. The fundamental mechanism of how nerve impulses generated by tactile receptors are interpreted by the nervous system is not understood. Only by discovering the underlying neural encoding mechanisms can we appreciate the functional impairments in patients and learn to identify them before they become widespread and irreversible.

我们感知、辨别和解释触摸刺激的能力支撑着人类手部与物体探索和操纵相关的一些最重要的功能。触觉感受器产生的神经冲动如何被神经系统解释的基本机制尚不清楚。只有通过发现潜在的神经编码机制，我们才能理解患者的功能障碍，并学会在它们变得广泛和不可逆转之前识别它们。
