Description	Inhibitory interactions between two tactile signals take place predominantly within mechanoreceptive submodality channels. This finding was utilized in the present study to determine the mechanoreceptive channels contributing to tactile sensations elicited by brief airpuff stimuli applied to the hairy and glabrous skin of the human hand. A reaction time paradigm was used to estimate the sensitivity of four subjects to airpuffs without and during continuous vibration (masker) of low (30 Hz) or high (240 Hz) frequency. The sensitivity to airpuffs (test stimuli) was decreased by a low-frequency masker in the hairy skin and by low- and especially by high-frequency maskers in the glabrous skin.
