| Abstract | Psychological and neurophysiological studies have investigated the peripheral neural mechanisms implicated in tactile roughness perception. However, the cortical mechanisms involved in roughness processing are not well understood. In the present study, we used behavioural data and event-related evoked potentials (ERPs) to investigate the extent to which two tactile stimuli varying in roughness (triangular gratings peak-to-peak spacing of 1.6 mm and 2.8 mm) and movement (the time available for tactile contact with the surface) modulate early stages of brain activation. Behavioral results showed that participants discriminate the two levels of roughness at the three velocities explored in the study but they were judged as equivalent in pleasantness. The ERP results showed a biphasic early-fast N1-P2 deflection. The N1 and P2 peaks to the smoother texture occur earlier than that of the rougher texture. Considering velocity, the N1 onset occurs later for the slowest velocity, followed by the intermediate velocity and earlier for the fastest velocity and the three velocities differ significantly. LORETA analysis showed that N1 and P2 components of surface roughness are both related to the activation produced in the somatosensory cortex and posterior cingulated respectively, suggesting that these areas might be involved in the sensory processing of roughness. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
