b.Using the graph plotted in Figure 1, what is the absolute threshold of detection for the fingertip and palm? Explain your reasoning and state which area is the more sensitive

c.Using your knowledge of the somatosensory system, explain why the threshold differs across these two areas of the hand

d.The researcher then repeated their experiment but changed the stimulus to a probe vibrating at 250 Hz, instead of constant pressure. When they did this, they noticed the difference in absolute thresholds of detection between the fingertip and palm decreased, compared to using a constant pressure. Using your knowledge from SD329 explain why the researcher might have observed this change
