Whisker-Mediated Texture Discrimination
Figure 1
Setup for the Experiment of Wolfe and Colleagues
(A) An optic sensor was placed below the textured plate; the rat palpated the texture with its whiskers. (B) The position of each whisker (red square centered at peak of the whisker shadow) was measured at 4 kHz frame rate and ~5 micron spatial resolution. Adapted from [12].
