Based on what you learned, what should be the biggest body part on your homunculus? What should be the smallest? Is this the case?
Is the data you gathered in lab reliable? Why or why not? What errors could you have made?
Which receptors allow you to feel fine detail? Where would you expect to find several of these receptors? Why?

5. Homunucleus Analysis
The hands and fingers are more useful for gathering information and need more sensory receptors and area to integrate the info
Able to feel fine details with fingers
