Popis: | The Pacinian Corpuscle (PC) is the most sensitive mechanoreceptor in the human body found in clusters of two or three. We extended our previous model of an isolated-PC to a cluster-PC focussing on relative spike delay and displacement threshold for understanding how the stimulus location is coded. In our model, two PCs with Gaussian overlapping receptive fields are arranged beneath the skin model. For a spatiotemporal stimulus (vibration), the model response is proposed to be a time-division multiplexing of responses from two PCs within the cluster. While the spike rate characteristics and pole-zero plot of cluster-PC model show similarities with the isolated-PC model, the frequency response shows ripples after 1 kHz as the distance ( |
