Description:
The subject was blindfolded and asked to identify some common objects. Before each trial, the subject placed the dominant hand on a table and one of the objects was placed in random order about 30 cm in front of the hand. On a go signal, the subject reached out, explored and identified the object. In addition, the subject was asked to explore the surface curvature, edges and textures of each object in order to prolong the exploration time, because a simple object identification task is trivial and takes a very short time.
