Abstract
Spectral transfer characteristics were determined for Slowly Adapting (SA, Merkel Cell), Rapidly Adapting (RA, Meissner) and Pacinian Corpuscle (PC) mechanoreceptors found in the glabrous skin of monkeys. Transfer function estimates were averaged and compared to the more traditional threshold and entrainment tuning curves for these receptors.
