| Summary: | The tactile sensitivity has been used as a model to analyze the cortical organization’s principles in order to realize a conscious
perception. Somatosensory cortex is a perceptive macrosystem localized in the parietal cortex organized to represent the whole tactile system. Touch is a double complex sensory system because is localized in the hand, but also generalized as
the whole body presence and may be described in three tactile perceptions forms: the passive touch, the active touch and the dynamic one. In last years, tactile perception received particular attention from scientists linked to the possible application in
robotics, using the haptic perception, and for the therapeutic application in rehabilitation
