Functional MRI assists in somatosensory cortex
Researchers from the U.K. and Germany have used ultrahigh-field functional MRI to produce a precise topographic map of the representation of touch in area 3b of the somatosensory cortex -- a region thought to only respond to mechanical stimulation.

Functional MRI sheds new light on sound and touch
Researchers in the U.S. and the Netherlands have observed auditory responses in the human somatosensory cortex, a region of the brain usually dedicated to processing touch. They measured functional MRI signal changes following a frequency discrimination task.
