Which of the following best describes a test you could do to test your primary somatosensory cortex?
Try wiggling each of your fingers one at a time. Now try wiggling each of your toes.
Ask a friend to close their eyes. Using a random number of fingers (one to four), press down on the skin of your friend’s. Ask your friend to report how many fingers you are using. Repeat the same procedure on the palm or back of your friend’s hand.
Try wiggling each of your fingers and toes at the same time.
Press down hard on the skin of your friend forehead, let go and record how long it take for the skin to return to its natural colour.
