TI  - Perception of visual and tactile flow activates common cortical areas in the human brain
AV  - none
N2  - 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
