Electrotactile two-point discrimination as a function of frequency, body site, laterality, and stimulation codes

The feasibility of frequency modulated two-point discrimination as a design concept for electrocutaneous sensory substitution display has been studied. Three stimulation techniques were tested on human subjects: spatial stimulus, temporal stimulus, and frequency on frequency stimulus. The frequency on frequency technique yielded the lowest threshold when compared to the temporal and spatial techniques. In addition, some of the characteristic...
