vibrotactile

A vibrotactile aid is a device which converts sound into vibration that can be felt on the skin.

However, vibrotactile stimulation systems need to account for the rapid adaptation of the tactile sense.

Currently vibrotactile stimuli can be used to facilitate hearing in normal and hearing-impaired people.

These systems conveyed human emotions to visually impaired persons using vibrotactile stimuli.

Of these performance measures, only vibrotactile thresholds and texture perception failed to show substantial impairment.

Hence, new tools rely on auditory and/or vibrotactile stimuli.

It features small vibrotactile stimulators on each finger and the palm of the CyberGlove.

Incidence of accidents can be decreased by using visual or vibrotactile alarm systems in homes as well as in schools.

Vascular responses to vibrotactile stimulation.

Vibrotactile stimulators use pressure and the properties of the mechanoreceptors of the skin to initiate action potentials.

Vibrotactile systems use the properties of mechanoreceptors in the skin so they have fewer parameters that need to be monitored as compared to electrotactile stimulation.

In 2005, the feelSpace group conducted a study of sensory augmentation with a vibrotactile magnetic compass belt worn around the waist.

Patients may wear headphones and/or vibrotactile stimulators placed on the wrists, neck, leg, and/or other locations.

Verbal instructions and tones are presented via in-ear phones, and vibrotactile stimulators can be attached to different areas of the patient's body.

Costs range from $25 for the Signalman to $850 for a vibrotactile wristwatch/pager, a complicated device that makes use of bells and vibrations.

A similar experiment was reported again by Bach y Rita in 1986 where vibrotactile stimulation were delivered to the index fingertips of naive blindfolded subjects.

Accessible Pedestrian Signals provide sound cues and vibrotactile signals to convey the same traffic crossing information that is available to people who are sighted.

Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) react to vibrotactile stimuli by activating in synchronisation with each series of vibrations.

The robin uses auditory, visual, olfactory and possibly vibrotactile cues to find prey, but vision is the predominant mode of prey detection.

Sensory substitutions have also been successful with the emergence of wearable haptic actuators like vibrotactile motors, solenoids, peltier diodes, etc.

Did my awareness that frogs could sense my approach and jump into the water before I could catch them lead me to a career studying the vibrotactile sense?

Examples included quantitative studies of the sources of vibrotactile sensations in singers, and the qualitative differences of concept and terminology in vocal pedagogy and voice science.

The resulting signal is picked up and amplified by the T-switch found in many hearing aids, vibrotactile devices, cochlear implant systems, or by induction loop receivers with headphones.

Recent research has displayed that there are two different codes, at least, for roughness: a vibrotactile code used for fine surfaces, and a spatial code used for coarse to medium surfaces.

Extra-aural (unrelated to hearing) bioeffects on various internal organs and the central nervous system included auditory shifts, vibrotactile sensitivity change, muscle contraction, cardiovascular function change, central nervous system effects, vestibular (inner ear) effects, and chest wall/lung tissue effects.
