PHD COURSE NEUROMORPHIC TACTILE SENSING MARCH 25
... Abstract: Tactile sensory information is gained as our skin interacts with objects of the external world. The skin is endowed with an incredibly rich set of sensors, which transduce mechanical strains in the skin into patterns of neural spikes in the nerve fibers that convey the primary sensory info ...
