Fingertip viscoelasticity enables human tactile neurons to encode loading history alongside current force

Human skin and its underlying tissues constitute a viscoelastic medium, implying that any deformation depends not only on the currently applied force, but also on the recent loading history. The extent to which this physical memory influences the signaling of first-order tactile neurons during natur...
