{{Condition Template |Definition=The tactile modality is the stimulus modality pertaining to the sense of contact via the skin with other, external objects. |Definition Source=JT and AL |Parent Entity=Stimulus Modality |Example=A vibrating device held to the skin, whether or not it was intended to be painful, would have the tactile modality. It may have the subtype of a pain modality, depending on its strength. |Comments=The tactile modality covers a number of sub-terms (see related concepts). We acknowledge that there is some argument whether pain, pressure, and thermal modalities are sub-types of the tactile modality; but currently that seems to have little logical impact on this structure. If it is shown to lead to a logical error at some point we can change it. |Created Date=2010/10/29 |Curator=JT and AL |Curation Status=pending final vetting
