tactile stimulation

Tactile stimulation refers to the activation of the skin's sensory receptors through touch, pressure, vibration, or texture. It involves gentle or intense contact that sends signals via nerves to the brain, helping us perceive sensations like warmth, cold, firmness, or softness. This process is essential for everyday interactions, such as holding objects, feeling textures, or experiencing pain. Tactile stimulation can influence emotional responses and physical development, playing a key role in sensory integration and overall well-being.
