Document Summary

Conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and vibration, which arise from muscles, joints, and skin. For perceiving properties of objects and motor action. What we want to know alters how we interact with an object. You i(cid:374)tera(cid:272)t (cid:449)ith the (cid:449)orld, it(cid:859)s (cid:374)ot just se(cid:374)satio(cid:374), it(cid:859)s (cid:373)otor. How you move and interact changes based on what you want to know. Sense of relative position/motion of neighboring body parts and effort being employed: position sense: static body geometry, kinesthesia: sense of motion, sense of effort: sense of when we do things, something is hard, heavy, light. Testing via: two point discrimination: do you have normal perception of where the skin is contacted, position sense: move a finger up and down, do you know which way it moves, limb matching task: Have the robot move there arm to different positions with one arm, they have to match it with the other arm.
