Abstract
Monkeys trained to distinguish touch stimuli that 'flutter' with diffe
rent frequencies can similarly distinguish electrical stimulation of t
he somatosensory cortex according to its frequency; the implication is
that the electrically-evoked patterns of cortical activity cause flut
ter sensations similar to those induced by touch.
