Purposeful Goal-Directed Movements Give Rise to Higher Tactile Discrimination Performance

Tactile perception is inhibited during goal-directed reaching movements (sensory suppression). Here, participants performed simple reaching or exploratory movements (where contact with the table surface was maintained). We measured tactile discrimination thresholds for vibratory stimuli delivered to...
