Information Transfer to a Hand-Held Container Using Virtual Vibrotactile Motion

IEEE Access
The present study proposes a novel method to provide information via a hand-held container, such as a cup, to a user’s hand, using virtual vibrotactile motion. Although container information can be conveyed visually or auditorily, these modalities

Auditory clicks elicit equivalent temporal frequency perception to tactile pulses: A cross-modal psychophysical study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Both hearing and touch are sensitive to the frequency of mechanical oscillations—sound waves and tactile vibrations, respectively. The mounting evidence of parallels in temporal frequency processing between the two sensory systems led us to directly ...
