Recently, in order to measure human sensibility, diversified researches including facial expression, questionnaire and analysis of bio-signal have been progressed. The objective of this study is to classify human sensibility quantitatively and objectively by using 3 types of bio-signal of PPG, GSR and RESP. First, bio-signal was analyzed by sorting out photos based on 6 types of basic sensibili...

The corneal sensibility was examined with the aesthesiometer of Draeger in 41 patients after refractive corneal surgery, 31 patients after radial keratotomy, 5 after epikeratophakia, 5 after excimer laser ablation. It could be shown that after radial corneal incisions the sensibility remains normal. After epikeratophakia the corneal sensibility is asensible even 3 years after operation. The len...

It is worth recalling how Richard Feynman once publicized his opinion on scientific truth. In his book entitled The Meaning of It All, he wrote, 'No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated.' This celebrated theoretical physicist's comment pointed out that, for the sake of human intellectual...

To understand the feasibility of a novel functional sensibility test for determining precision pinch performance in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, this study investigates the validity, sensitivity and specificity of functional sensibility derived from a pinch-holding-up activity (PHUA) test. Participants include 70 clinically defined carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients with 119 involve...

OBJECTIVES To compare stump sensibility in children with upper limb reduction deficiency with sensibility of the unaffected arm and hand. In addition, to evaluate the associations between stump sensibility, stump length and activity level. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Children and young adults aged 6-25 years with upper limb reduction deficiency. METHODS Threshold of touch was m...

Introduction The accelerated development of innovative forms, unusual material applications, new technical means and processes, and globalization in the second half of the 20 century have heavily influenced manufactured products. Since the 1960s, it has been observed that corporations and designers have focused on creating user-friendly products leading to, among other things, softer organic fo...
