AbsractIt is known that human haptic perception is lateralised, for example, object shape is felt differently according to the hand used to explore objects. Here we show that it is not the hand but the hemispace in which the exploring hand is located that determines differences in perception. This finding implies that our lateralised somatosensory processing depends on hand localisation in space rather than on the hand itself.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
