tactile information processing, sensory mapping, tactile exploratory behavior, neurophysiology of nociception and nociceptors in pain
research, clinical scaling methods for psychophysics of pain, and paincontrol, pathology, and therapeutics.
Audience
Researchers, academics, and clinicians interested in the study of tactile perception and pain: perceptual psychologists, psychophysicists, neuroscientists, and pain therapists.
