1 Introduction Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent estimates indicate that cardiovascular diseases account for approximately 19 million deaths annually, nearly one-third of all global deaths, with ischemic heart disease being the single largest contributor (Tsao et al., 2023; Martin et al., 2024).

Abstract Orientation perception is one of the most fundamental aspects of somatosensory perception, similar to its visual counterpart. In the current study, we examined several features of tactile orientation perception and their interactions, aiming to better understand the underlying mechanisms. We found that active exploration exhibits better orientation acuity compared to passive exploration.
