Vision Modulates Somatosensory Cortical Processing
Open accessAbstract
Over 150 years ago, E.H. Weber declared that experience showed that tactile acuity was not affected by viewing the stimulated body part. However, more recent investigations suggest that cross-modal links do exist between the senses. Viewing the stimulated body site improves performance on tactile discrimination and detection tasks and enhances tactile acuity. Here, we show that vision modulates somatosensory cortex activity, as measured by somatosensory event-related potentials (ERPs). This modulation is greatest when tactile stimulation is task relevant. Visual modulation is not present in the P50 component reflecting the primary afferent input to the cortex but appears in the subsequent N80 component, which has also been localized to SI, the primary somatosensory cortex. Furthermore, we replicate previous findings that noninformative vision improves spatial acuity. These results are consistent with a hypothesis that vision modulates cortical processing of tactile stimuli via back projections from multimodal cortical areas. Several neurophysiological studies suggest that primary and secondary somatosensory cortex (SI and SII, respectively) activity can be modulated by spatial and tactile attention and by visual cues. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of direct modulation of somatosensory cortex activity by a noninformative view of the stimulated body site with concomitant enhancement of tactile acuity in normal subjects.

Vision of a body part being touched pre-activates the corresponding somatotopic region in PoCG, thus influencing tactile sensation.
“the vision of a body part being touched is known to pre-activate the corresponding somatotopic region in PoCG, thus influencing tactile sensation (Taylor-Clarke et al. 2002; Blakemore et al. 2005; Longo et al. 2011; Schaefer et al. 2012).”

Some evidence suggests that PoCG may be involved in multisensory integration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
