F. Crenna, V. Belotti, G. B. Rossi

Abstract

A new experimental set up for the measurement of the perceived intensity of vibrations transmitted to a finger is presented. The related measurement procedure includes two independent tests for a jury of subjects, whose results are jointly processed to attain the corresponding scale. The requirements and the features of experimental set up realized for producing and controlling the vibration stimuli are discussed in detail. The user interfaces implemented for gather the perception responses of the subjects are also discussed and illustrated.
