Demonstration of three-dimensional contact point determination and contour reconstruction during active whisking behavior of an awake rat.
The rodent vibrissal (whisker) system has been studied for decades as a model of active touch sensing. There are no sensors along the length of a whisker; all sensing occurs at the whisker base. Therefore, a large open question in many neuroscience studies is how an animal could estimate the three-d...
