We replicated these results in Experiment 2 and demonstrated that if the movements did not generate expectations of self-touch, no gradual attenuation of somatosensory perception was present. This indicates that sensorimotor context is crucial in the temporal modulation of somatosensory perception.

In Experiment 1, we show the temporal tuning of somatosensory perception during the movements to self-touch. The forces felt progressively weaker during the movement, reached their minimum perceived intensity at the time of self-touch, and recovered after the movement ended.

The brain can predict and attenuate self-touch, but how do these predictions impact somatosensation before or after self-touch? We addressed this in behavioural tasks where participants discriminated forces applied to their left hand during the right hand’s reaching movement toward the left hand.
