Publisher's Note: This is the first book to provide a comprehensive description of an emerging view of the mammalian somatosensory system derived from a variety of new technological breakthroughs. It presents a neural-population based theory for somesthetic perception and demonstrates the relevance of distributed processing in the mammalian central nervous system. This is the first account of how large populations of cortical and subcortical neurons may interact, in a dynamic and distributed fashion, to encode information about the surrounding environment. In addition, the author shows the need to incorporate temporal interactions between neurons as a potential domain for information processing and encoding.
