Imagery of sensations and attention to them are mental operations that have similarities but differ in function. Imagery generates internal sensory representations while attention prioritizes external or internal signals. This distinction is less clear in certain sensory systems such as the somatosensory system. Our study aimed to explore neural activity changes induced by tactile imagery (TI) and tactile attention (TA). Given the established facilitatory effect of TI on somatosensory processing, our study also aimed to investigate the effects of TA on somatosensory processing.Ten participants
