Abstract
Human and monkey performance on discriminating tactile gratings revealed comparable cross-species Weber functions. Neural data obtained while monkeys performed discriminations revealed some matching of neural and psychometric functions. Nearly constant firing rate differences occurred at discrimination threshold for unequal groove widths. Firing rate differences of some cells decreased on trials preceding discrimination errors, and thus predicted performance.
