Tactile object discrimination is one of the major manual skills of humans. While the exploring finger movements are not perceived explicitly, attention to the movement-evoked kinaesthetic information gates the tactile perception of object form. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging in seven healthy subjects we found one area in the right superior parietal cortex, which was specifically activated by kinaesthetic attention during tactile object discrimination. Another area with similar location in the left hemisphere was related to the maintenance of tactile information for subsequent object discrimination. We conclude that kinaesthetic information is processed in the anterior portion of the superior parietal cortex (aSPL) with a right hemispheric predominance for discrimination and a left hemispheric predominance for information maintenance.
