Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul Richard | Neural signal for skin indentation depth. I. Changing indentations | Psychophysical tests on human subjects showed that judgments of skin indentation depth made when the fingertip was indented at rates from 0.2 to 16 mm/set were quite insensitive to changes in indentation velocity. Similar results were obtained on the forearm at indentation velocities of 0.4 to 16... | Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses | 1983 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul Richard | Neural signal for skin indentation depth. II. Steady indentations | The glabrous skin of the monkey's hand was stimulated with a waveform that indented the skin at a rate of 0.4 mm/set, held the skin steadily or nearly steadily indented for 12 set or longer, and then retracted back to the starting position. Recordings were made of activity in single afferent fibe... | Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses | 1983 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul Richard | Neural signal for the intensity of a tactile stimulus | The effect of indenting the skin at different rates on the perceived intensity of the stimulus was studied by indenting the skin of the fingertip with two triangular waveforms, given as a pair. The subjects were asked to judge which member of the pair was more intense. Perceived intensity was foun... | Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses | 1984 |
