An electro-tactile display is a tactile interface composed of skin surface electrodes. Such displays comprise many useful features such as durability and energy efficiency, but the...
—We present a novel physical rehabilitation device for forearm/wrist and grasp therapy of a neurologically injured human arm and hand. Emphasizing the importance of coordinated m...
Tactile and haptic interaction is becoming increasingly important and ergonomic standards can ensure that systems are designed with sufficient concerns for ergonomics and interoper...

This paper presents a measure for assessing the perceived hardness of a haptic surface based on associated physical variables. This metric, named extended rate-hardness (ERH), is e...
Abstract. We analyze the stability of previously proposed mobile robot teleoperation system [7]. Unlike to other approaches human-operator dynamics is included for the stability an...
We investigated the tactile perception of a liquid surface that can be clearly felt as a thin line by a hand moving in the liquid. Although this phenomenon was first reported by Me...
: In this study, we investigated the "heat phantom sensation" induced by thermal stimulation of two points. Phantom sensations are tactile illusions induced at a point be...

Abstract. The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is routinely used in clinical environments to evaluate a patient's fine hand control. A physician measures the total time required to i...
Abstract. A new approach to teaching the skills used by health professionals during hands-on (palpation-based) examinations and procedures is reported, where students practice indi...
Phantom sensation (PhS) is a pseudo-tactile sensation that occurs when two or more mechanical or electrical stimuli are presented simultaneously to the skin. PhS has two well-known...
