description: We report results of a pilot study using functional magnetic resonance  imaging aimed at determining the neural correlates of tactile flow. We  hypothesized that brain response to tactile flow would involve the same cortical  areas (V5/MT) that respond to optic flow. Our results showed that V5/MT cortex  indeed is activated by tactile flow perception. These findings are consistent  with a supramodal organization of brain regions involved in optic and tactile  flow processing
