Vibrotactile threshold (VT) testing has been used for nearly a century to investigate
activation of human somatosensory pathways. This use of vibrotactile stimuli provides a …

Many children with autistic spectrum disorders have unusual reactions to certain sensory
stimuli. These reactions vary along a hyper-to hypo-responsivity continuum. For example …

In this study, we investigated the effect of input voltage waveform on our haptic perception of
electrovibration on touch screens. Through psychophysical experiments performed with …

Future touch screen applications will include multiple tactile stimuli displayed
simultaneously or consecutively to single finger or multiple fingers. These applications …

The perceived intensity of electrovibration can be altered by modulating the amplitude,
frequency, and waveform of the input voltage signal applied to the conductive layer of a …

Somatosensory processing can be probed empirically through vibrotactile psychophysical
experiments. Psychophysical approaches are valuable for investigating both normal and …

We investigated the gating effect of passive and active movement on the vibrotactile
detection thresholds of the Pacinian (P) psychophysical channel and forward masking …

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the psychophysical
vibrotactile thresholds of the Pacinian (P) channel and the mechanical properties of the skin …

Many obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) patients experience sensory phenomena, such
as bodily sensations and “just-right” perceptions accompanying compulsions. We studied …

Hearing and touch represent two distinct sensory systems that both rely on the
transformation of mechanical force into electrical signals. Here we used a battery of …
