Hello #affectivetouch community! Planning a study on affective touch, using skin-to-skin touch between mothers and their 6-month-old infants. Does anyone have experience with specific methods for training and measuring touch pressure? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

How do you know if something is wet/dry? Humans have no dedicated sensor for humidity. Instead, we rely -mainly- on thermal cues.
Do the test: sit on a cold bench, your first reaction is: The bench is Wet!
