Texture perception refers to the ability to recognize and interpret the surface characteristics of objects through touch and vision. It involves the brain processing information from sensory receptors in the skin, which detect variations in surface patterns, roughness, and smoothness. This sensory information helps individuals identify materials, such as wood, fabric, or metal. In addition to touch, texture perception is influenced by visual cues. The brain combines tactile and visual information to create a comprehensive understanding of an object's texture. For example, seeing a fuzzy surface can enhance the perception of its softness, while a shiny surface may suggest smoothness.
