Since Chapter 5 was on data presenting, I thought it would be interesting to share this image. This is a great and appealing visual display of their data. I don't think there could have been a better way to display it!
This is a link to how intrinsic our hand is. There are so many nerves in our hands, with different sizes of receptive fields and cortical representations. Here is an interpretation of the figure:
EX: motion sensitive neuron responds to stroking the skin in all directions
EX: direction sensitive neuron responds strongly to motions towards the ulnar side of the palm but fails to respond to motion along the same path in the opposite direction
EX: an orientation sensitive neuron responds better to motion across a finger (ulnar-radial) than to motion along the finger (distal-proximal) but doesn’t distinguish from radial nor proximal from distal directions
