Differential temporal coding of the vibratory sense in the hand and foot in man

Objective: We studied the difference in the temporal tuning function of the vibratory senses between the hand and foot in man by using steady-state somatosensory evoked potentials (S-SEPs) to vibratory stimulation. Methods: Vibratory stimuli were applied to the palm and sole, and the S-SEPs were the...
