Stimulating the fingertip rhythmically for a sustained period of time, markedly improves touch sensitivity of this finger. A research team analyzed the impact of this process in the brain. Using EEG, the scientists recorded neuronal activity of brain areas associated with tactile processing. They were able to observe changes in activity over time - possibly illustrating a learning process.
