The mechanism to know exactly where we touch is known as proprioreception.This is similar to the thoughts phenomenon. The skin has various receptors like pacinian corpuscles, end bulbs of krouse, tendons. The parietal cortex is responsible for understanding the movement of hand, position and objects we touch. Even the sense of direction and orientation of space are found by parietal cortex.
