Braid Groups and Somatotopic Maps: Coupling Math & Sensations

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this brief manuscript, we show how the sensitive ascending nervous fibers connecting peripheral receptors to cortical areas can be described in terms of braid groups. The group structure and generator operations of braids suggest a fresh approach to long-standing questions concerning human sensation and perception.
