Abstract
The vibrissal (whisker) array of the rodent has been an important model for the study of active touch and tactile perception for over a century (Richardson 1909; Vincent 1912). During exploratory behaviors many rodents brush and tap their whiskers against surfaces to tactually extract object features, similar in some ways to how humans use their fingers for tactual exploration.
