Various psychophysical methods have been used to study human haptic perception,
although the selection of a particular method is often based on convention, rather than an …

This work assesses the ability of transradial amputees to discriminate multi-site tactile stimuli
in sensory discrimination tasks. It compares different sensory feedback modalities using an …

The parameters of vibrators used for sexual stimulation in laboratory settings and
therapeutic contexts are usually unknown. The unidentified range of vibrator characteristics …

Little is known about the linkage between the physical properties of fluids and how they are
perceived. Therefore, 15 fluids with diverse rheologies were characterized physically by …

Stable grasp is the result of sensorimotor regulation of forces, ensuring sufficient grip force
and the integrity of the held object. Grasping with a prosthesis introduces the challenge of …

Two vibrations with slightly different frequencies induce the beats phenomenon. In tactile
perception, when two pins of different frequencies stimulate the fingertips, an individual …

For the wide range of vibration frequencies, the human capacity for vibrotactile frequency
discrimination has been reported constant. However, vibrotactile detection depend on two …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in excitability properties of
human median and superficial radial sensory axons (eg, axons innervating the glabrous and …

This paper presents the initial prototype design of a vibrotactile threshold evaluator for the
workplace (VTEW), which is portable and configurable in terms of the probe diameter (2–10 …

The human hairy skin is innervated by a very ancient system of slow-conducting low-
threshold mechanoreceptors termed C-tactile fibres (CTs). Intriguingly, even the existence of …
