Topognosis
Recognition of where a sensation is felt on the body. The ability to detect a light touch on any part of the skin is known as topesthesia. Topognosis comes from the Greek word "topos" meaning "place," and the Greek word "gnosis" meaning "recognition." Put the two words together and you have "recognition (of) place."
