    <abstract>Data collected from young (&lt;23 years ) and older (&gt;64 years) adults while they used pressing or sliding contact with the index finger to explore grating surfaces. All of the data are stored in Matlab format. The data are stored in a zip file &apos;Aging_Exploratory_touch.zip&apos;. When uncompressed the file contains the data structured as follows:

Force data from the exploration is stored in folders with the suffix &apos;_Force&apos;.

Force data from controlled sliding trials used to calculate coefficients of friction is stored in folders with the suffix &apos;_Friction&apos;.

Demographic, grating orientation threshold and dexterity data are stored in a Matlab file labelled &apos;AncillaryData.mat&apos;.

Further information about file structures can be found in the file labelled &apos;Readme.txt&apos;</abstract>
