A Tactile Automated Passive-Finger Stimulator (TAPS)
Although tactile spatial acuity tests are used in both neuroscience research and clinical assessment, few automated devices exist for delivering controlled spatially structured stimuli to the skin. Consequently, investigators often apply tactile stimuli manually. Manual stimulus application is time consuming, requires great care and concentration on the part of the investigator, and leaves many...
متن کاملThe Tactile Array Stimulator
A I3-element tactile array stimulator has been developed for research into the spatial-response properties of cortical neurons in the finger areas of the somatosensory cortex, the region of the cerebrum that receives and processes the somatic senses (touch, temperature, and pain). The tactile array consists of precision limited-motion, linear-displacement motors that are individually controlled...

متن کاملMEG-compatible pneumatic stimulator to elicit passive finger and toe movements
Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals recorded from the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex are coherent with kinematics of both active and passive finger movements. The coherence mainly reflects movement-related proprioceptive afference to the cortex. Here we describe a novel MEG-compatible stimulator to generate computer-controlled passive finger and toe movements that can be used as stimuli in...
متن کاملTactile Teacher: Toward Sensing Taps When Playing Piano
In a piano lesson, a student often imitates how her teacher is playing in terms of speed, dynamics, and fingering. We seek to convey the touch sensations in piano lessons between a teacher and a student by sensing the teacher's keystrokes and then tapping the student's fingers appropriately. Here, we propose an implementation to sense finger taps on hard surfaces by using an instrumented glove....
