The somatosensory and visual systems adaptation times have a strong positive correlation.

CONNIE BURRIS, MARIA MARTINEZ, RAE MOORE, SARAH ZAMZOW, NATALIA OMELCHENKO-COMER, STEM and Business Division, WVNCC, Wheeling, WV, 26003. The somatosensory visual systems adaptation times have a strong positive correlation. 
 Multiple studies demonstrated that all sensory adapt their sensitivity levels to improve responsiveness changes in corresponding stimulation accelerate following CNS processing. study aimed determine if the time of observed for system correlates with system. data collection was performed on 2 male 7 female healthy volunteers (the average age those 22.2+/-4.60, 8 right-handed 1 left-handed) seated position. estimated by recording perception loss after placing penny coin onto dorsal hand surface. To evaluate subject asked stare at small pastel color abstract image. perceived component this image recorded. 22.0+/-16.15 seconds ranging from 4 42 seconds. 30.7+/-16.04 12 51 There statistically significant difference between these modalities sensations as determined paired T-test (t (8) = 3.1, p .01). However, correlation analysis values (r 0.86, .003). Our indicate are strongly correlated. finding can be used development improvement neurobehavioral evaluation tests.
