Good point! That neuroscience paper is fascinating: they study pulses on human skin using mechanical pins (expensive) and electrical stim (far denser and less expensive),

This is amazing. And that's a lot of actuators for a pretty lo-fi replication of touch. I find myself wondering how the cost-effectiveness boundary will shake out between wearable sensory input tech and neural stimulation: https://t.co/phMgpWpECm

Sophisticated coding of temporal information in the somatosensory system, that shows that perceived vibration frequency is not encoded in peripheral afferents as was expected by either their firing rate or the underlying periodicity of the stimulus. https:
