Subtracting the expected sensation from the actual one -- that is, paying attention to what *wasn't* unexpected -- is a great strategy for a lot of reasons, chief among them being that the brain doesn't have to waste as much energy paying attention when things are *going right*.

What is less well known is that this is affected by whether or not those pins touch simultaneously, or one after another. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ana.24179 … It's also affected by whether or not the pins cause pain. It's even affected by whether you have chronic pain.

What is probably most bullshit is that tactile resolution is improved by whether or not you're *looking toward* the general direction of the touch. EVEN IF YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE YOUR ARM IS IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098220100327X …

(Aside: while your 2-point acuity is ~1 mm, you can feel down to *nanometers* -- if you're allowed to stroke the texture. This is *awesome insane*, not *bullshit insane*. Basically, your brain turns the texture into a symphony of vibrating frequencies. http://www.pnas.org/content/110/42/17107.full …)

Another way your brain tries to blend vision and feel together is the size-weight and material-weight illusions. Basically, if a larger object weighs the same as a smaller object, the larger (less dense) object also *feels lighter*. As long as you get to look at it first.

Remember, the two objects weigh the same. And you can lift them the same way - by a handle on a string, say - and the bigger looking one still FEELS lighter.

Other bullshit insane effects include: - Lighter color feels lighter - More metallic feels lighter - Colder feels heavierhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00221-014-3926-9 …

A lot of this is from how the brain weighs (heh) prior experience. A lot of work has been done in trying to figure out how experience is used - but the short story is that through extensive training you can be tricked into thinking the reverse too, that smaller feels heavier.
