1. A light touch, such as a stroke on the cheek, generates a low frequency of action potentials. A firmer pressure, such as a slap, elicits action potentials that pass down the axon at a higher frequency. A second factor is the number of sensory neurons activated. A slap stimulates a larger number of pressure sensitive neurons than a stroke does.
