High-resolution imaging of skin deformation shows that afferents from human fingertips signal slip onset

Human tactile afferents provide essential feedback for grasp stability during dexterous object manipulation. Interacting forces between an object and the fingers induce slip events that are thought to provide information about grasp stability. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we made a transpar...
