Development of a One-Dimensional Lateral Tactile Display for the Sensation of Texture Using a Speaker Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the development of a tactile display made from audio speakers and aluminum plates and having high spatial and temporal resolution. Aluminum plates with thickness of 0.5 mm are attached to audio speakers and aligned at intervals of 1 mm, and skin is deformed perpendicular to the plate direction. The device presents skin deformation with a wide frequency range (10–320 Hz) when a finger is placed on the plates.

A Cutaneous Feeling Display Using Suction Pressure
In this paper, we propose a novel tactile display by controlling suction pressure. The method is based on our discovery of an illusion that pulling a skin through a hole creates a sensation as if a stick is pushing the skin. Based on this property of perception and multi-primitive stimulation method, we confirmed that we can produce tactile sensation from concentrated pressure to smooth surface...
متن کاملThe effect of Tecar therapy on pain and tactile sensation of the foot in patients with type II diabetes
Objective: Because of the significant prevalence of diabetes, disability of patients due to the complication of diabetic neuropathy (DN) has been increased. Physiotherapy is one of the treatment methods for DN which can help control the symptoms through modalities such as infrared radiation, electrical stimulation and electromagnetic fields. Tecar therapy is a form of electromagnetic fields. It...
متن کاملTactile Display Device Using Distributed Lateral Skin Stretch
In the past, tactile displays were of one of two kinds: they were either shape displays, or relied on distributed vibrotactile stimulation. A tactile display device is described in this paper which is distinguished by the fact that it relies exclusively on lateral skin stretch stimulation. It is constructed from an array of 64 closely packed piezoelectric actuators connected to a membrane. The ...
متن کاملNeuronal basis of tactile sense in the rat whisker system
Using their whiskers, rats have tactile capacities rivaling those of the human with our fingertips. We have carried out experiments to explore how neurons encode touch signals to build up a central representation. Touch signals begin with the receptors in the follicle of each whisker and can be traced to a columnar module in somatosensory cortex that is connected with the same whisker: the well...
