The Sensory Hand : Neural Mechanisms of Somatic Sensation /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The hand is an organ of considerable capability. With it we feel, point, and reach, we determine the texture and shape of objects we palpate, we emit and receive signs of approval, compassion, condolence, and encouragement, and, on a different register, rejection, threat, dislike, antagonism, and at...
