Weber's Tactile Circles

Today we’ll talk about G.T.’s experiment. Osgood, H. Reaser and P. Mills, conducted in 1957, as a result of which the so-called “Touch Weber circles” were discovered, which underlie the functional asymmetry of the human hemispheres of the brain. This finding was then modified by George Helsonan to demonstrate that the auditory and visual equivalents of touch are distributed differently in the brain. About a third of all muscle fibers are important to touch, so it is not surprising that the functional development of brain images associated with the action of the hand is not inferior to the development of images corresponding to muscle functions.
