Amplifying shear deformation of finger pad increases tracing distances
Human sensory inputs and motor outputs mutually affect one another. We pursue the idea that a tactile interface can influence human motor outputs by intervening in sensory-motor relationships. This study focuses on the shear deformation of a finger pad while a person traces a line or circle. During these tracing movements, the finger pads were deformed using a tactile interface. The tracing dis...
متن کاملEstimation of Finger Pad Deformation Based on Skin Deformation Transferred to the Radial Side
Techniques to measure the deformation of finger pad when rubbing material surfaces are important for the analysis of textural sensations and development of tactile texture displays. However, such measurements are difficult because when the finger pad is in contact with the material surfaces, it is not exposed for measurement. We developed a technique to estimate finger pad shear deformation by ...
متن کاملDisplay of Friction in Virtual Environments Based on Human Finger Pad Characteristics
A friction display system is proposed for virtual environments. Since a user’s fingertip is often placed inside a ring or thimble of a haptic interface , the finger pad cannot move relative to the finger structure as freely as it would move in the real world. Thus, it is necessary to imitate the real world movement of the human finger pad in the virtual environment. This paper quantifies the fr...
متن کاملTactile Display which Presensts Shear Deformation on Human Finger
This paper proposes a new tactile display to present shear deformation to the skin of human finger. For presenting the shear deformation of the finger, we fabricated a three-dimensional moving stage driven by the hydraulic actuators. For presenting different deformation under the condition of the same normal pressure, we used an air suction pad that can suck air. Using this air pad and the hydr...
متن کاملWearable finger pad deformation sensor for tactile textures in frequency domain by using accelerometer on finger side
In this study, we set out to develop a method for estimating the fine and fast shear deformation of a finger pad, that is, the palm side of a fingertip, as it scans the surface of a material. Using a miniature accelerometer, we measured the acceleration at the radial skin, the deformation of which is accompanied by the shear deformation of the finger pad. Using a transfer function, as specified...
متن کاملResponses of areas 3b and 1 in anesthetized squirrel monkeys to single- and dual-site stimulation of the digits.
Stimulation of the skin evokes topographically organized activation in somatosensory cortex. This representation is context dependent, however, since a different cortical topography is observed in area 3b when stimulated with complex tactile stimuli that evoke the von Békésy funneling illusion. Here we report on the population responses, as observed with intrinsic optical imaging, of area 1 and...
