Measurement of Vibration Detection Threshold and Tactile Spatial Acuity in Human Subjects.
Tests that allow the precise determination of psychophysical thresholds for vibration and grating orientation provide valuable information about mechanosensory function that are relevant for clinical diagnosis as well as for basic research. Here, we describe two psychophysical tests designed to determine the vibration detection threshold (automated system) and tactile spatial acuity (handheld d...
متن کاملTactile Acuity Charts: A Reliable Measure of Spatial Acuity
For assessing tactile spatial resolution it has recently been recommended to use tactile acuity charts which follow the design principles of the Snellen letter charts for visual acuity and involve active touch. However, it is currently unknown whether acuity thresholds obtained with this newly developed psychophysical procedure are in accordance with established measures of tactile acuity that ...
متن کاملTactile Spatial Acuity from Childhood into Adulthood
Measurement of human tactile spatial acuity – the ability to perceive the fine spatial structure of surfaces contacting our fingertips – provides a valuable tool for probing both the peripheral and central nervous system. However, measures of tactile spatial acuity have long been plagued by a prodigious amount of variability present between individuals in their sense of touch. Previously propos...
متن کاملWhat Drives Tactile Spatial Acuity Enhancement in the Blind? What Drives Tactile Spatial Acuity Enhancement in the Blind: Visual Deprivation or Tactile Experience?
An important unresolved question in sensory neuroscience is whether, and if so with what time course, tactile perception isenhanced by visual deprivation. In three experiments involving 158 normally sighted human participants, we assessedwhether tactile spatial acuity improves with short-term visual deprivation over periods ranging from under 10 to over110 minutes. We used an au...
