The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Soft robot perception using embedded soft sensors and recurrent neural networks (2019, background): “Fabrication of the sensors Biological skin contains a dense, distributed network of a large variety of interspersed sensors (29).”
Hands Holding Clues for Object Recognition in Teachable Machines (2019, background): “We speculate that they were leveraging proprioception [51, 60], the perception of body and limb position, to coordinate their hand movements: one hand holding and adjusting the camera to the location of the other hand that was in proximity to the object of interest.”
Implicit and Explicit Body Representations (2015, background): “Several types of afferent signal from the periphery contribute to position sense, including receptors from joints signalling flexion or extension, from the skin signalling stretch, and from muscle spindles signalling contraction or lengthening (Proske & Gandevia, 2012).”
Multimodal contributions to body representation (2016, background): “In analogy to tactile distance perception, the absolute location of body parts in space also require the referral of a ‘body model’, as proprioceptive information is unable to signal the length of limb segments (Longo et al., 2010; Proske and Gandevia, 2012).”
