"When we touch something, the traditional view has been that
nerve cells (neurons) in our skin send information to the brain, which then processes that information.
But Swedish researchers have found that neurons in our skin do “advanced calculations” to process “geometric data” about objects we touch before the brain does.
These “first-order tactile neurons” then relay that information to the brain. Their calculations are “the same type” as those performed by brain neurons.
Truly, we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14)." CMI
