A "homunculus" us a "little" man. A sensory homunculus is a diagram that depicts the "relative" amount of sensory information sent to the brain by various body parts. So, the fingers and lips are shown as very large because they send a lot of information to the brain; the knees are drawn smaller because they send less information to the brain.
