Tactile information is processed contralaterally, which means that the information from the left side of the body is processed in the right hemisphere of the brain and vice versa. This is because the sensory nerves cross over at the level of the spinal cord, meaning that the left side of the body is controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain and the right side of the body is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain.
