Consonance of Vibrotactile Chords

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2014
This paper is concerned with the perception of complex vibrotactile stimuli in which a few sinusoidal vibrations with different frequencies are superimposed. We begin with an observation that such vibrotactile signals are analogous to musical chords in which multiple notes are played simultaneously. A set of so-called "vibrotactile chords" are designed

Recent research has confirmed that musical consonance is not only determined by the frequency ratios between tones, but also by the frequency spectra of the underlying tones (Marjieh et al., 2024). However, this prior research was limited to artificial tones, specifically tones built from a small number of pure tones, producing sounds that do not match
