To accurately represent object position in real time, the human visual system predictively encodes the location of moving objects, compensating for the time required for transmission and processing of information.

Single cells are believed to be incapable of complex forms of learning, but reconsideration of historical studies and more recent developments suggest that this orthodoxy must now be reconsidered.

Perception of vibrotactile frequency depends on the neural discharge pattern rather than the afferent type, thus requiring a reevaluation of the notion of Pacinian/non-Pacinian channels in tactile sensory system.

Late cataract-treated individuals learn to recalibrate vision for action in the months to years after sight restoration surgery, demonstrating that this ability can develop even in the absence of early pattern vision.

The brain continuously updates the learned temporal relationship between motor commands and their associated somatosensory feedback, which determines the perceived intensity and ticklishness of self-touch.

Opposite neurons in multisensory areas compute the cue disparity information essential for information segregation.

Human subjects actively adjust the acquisition of sense data based on how their bodily cycles alter their senses, i.e., sensing tactile stimuli for longer periods when concurrent physiological signals are present vs. sensing for shorter periods when these are quiescent.

Individual human first-order tactile neurons, those that innervate the mechanoreceptors in the skin, can signal information about edge orientation differences at the limit of what people can feel and across a broad range of speeds relevant for real-world hand use.
