TY - JOUR T1 - Signatures of vibration frequency tuning in human neocortex JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/2021.10.03.462923 SP - 2021.10.03.462923 AU - Lingyan Wang AU - Jeffrey M.

Using fMRI, we discovered that cortical responses are tuned for vibration frequency. Voxel tuning was biased in a manner that reflects perceptual sensitivity and the response profile of the Pacinian afferent system. These results imply the existence of tuned populations that may encode naturalistic vibrations according to their constituent spectra.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
