Linear Integration of Tactile and Non-tactile Inputs Mediates Estimation of Fingertip Relative Position

While skin, joints and muscles receptors alone provide lower level information about individual variables (e.g., exerted limb force and limb displacement), the distance between limb endpoints (i.e., relative position) has to be extracted from high level integration of somatosensory and motor signals...
