CT firing frequency showed significant effects from changing the temperature of the moving probe

Velocity (cm s⁻¹)	Significant differences in CT afferent firing frequency
Velocity (cm s⁻¹)	Main effect	Neutral versus cool	Neutral versus warm	Warm versus cool
0.3	F_(2,57.5) = 8.99	p = 0.002	p < 0.001	p = 0.452
0.3	p < 0.001	Neutral > cool	Neutral > warm
1	F_(2,56.4) = 9.57	p < 0.001	p = 0.013	p = 0.065
1	p < 0.001	Neutral > cool	Neutral > warm
3	F_(2,57.4) = 3.54	p = 0.010	p = 0.160	p = 0.209
3	p = 0.035	Neutral > cool
10	F_(2,58.1) = 4.20	p = 0.008	p = 0.030	p = 0.589
10	p = 0.020	Neutral > cool	Neutral > warm
30	F_(2,54.4) = 1.21	N/A	N/A	N/A
30	p = 0.306

At the velocities between 0.3 and 10 cm s⁻¹, CT firing frequencies at the neutral temperature were significantly higher than the cool temperature, and also for the warm temperatures at 0.3, 1, and 10 cm s⁻¹ stroking velocities. N/A indicates that between-level tests were not applicable as the main effect was not significant.
