Tactile Presentation Using Mechanical and Electrical Stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our study, we developed the FinGAR (Finger Glove for Augmented Reality), which is a tactile display that uses a combination of electrical and mechanical stimulation. The device can selectively stimulate four channels of tactile sensation, based on pressure, low-frequency vibration, high-frequency vibration, and shear stretching, to achieve high-fidelity tactile sensation. The FinGAR was designed to be lightweight, to have a simple mechanism, to be easy to wear, and to ensure that it does not affect natural finger movement. By combining FinGAR with a virtual reality system, users are able to touch and play with virtual objects.

Effects of Vestibular and Tactile Stimulation on Behavioral Disorders due to Sensory Processing Deficiency in 3-13 Years Old Iranian Autistic Children
Objectives: Among the most important problems of autistic children are the behavioral disorders due to sensory processing deficiency, which are typically reflected in behaviors such as impulsivity, attention and concentration disorders, undesirable emotional reactions, sensory seeking in the form of stereotype behaviors, self-injury and self-stimulating. The present study aimed at exploring the...
متن کاملPresentation of Softness Using Film-Type Electro-Tactile Display and Pressure Distribution Measurement
Electro-tactile display has simple mechanical structure and it can present tactile stimulus. However, electro-tactile display lacks of feedback corresponding to touching motion. In this research, we developed a device that combines an electro-tactile display and pressure distribution sensor. The device not only solves problem of unnatural electrical sensation, but also enables expression of hap...

We studied somatosensory evoked fields elicited by mechanical vs. electrical stimuli to index finger of healthy subjects. Mechanical stimulation was index pulp compression and decompression by using non-magnetic mechanical stimulator. Electrical stimulation was three times of sensory threshold and delivered to index pulp by using ball-shaped electrodes. Mechanical/electrical-stimuli evoked cont...

متن کاملOptimal delineation of single C-tactile and C-nociceptive afferents in humans by latency slowing
C-mechanoreceptors in humans comprise a population of unmyelinated afferents exhibiting a wide range of mechanical sensitivities. C-mechanoreceptors are putatively divided into those signaling gentle touch (C-tactile afferents, CTs) and nociception (C-mechanosensitive nociceptors, CMs), giving rise to positive and negative affect, respectively. We sought to distinguish, compare, and contrast th...
