Vibrotactile Stimulation as an Instructor for Mimicry-Based Physical Exercise [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Human-Computer Interaction, 2015
The present aim was to investigate functionality of vibrotactile stimulation in mimicry-based behavioral regulation during physical exercise. Vibrotactile stimuli communicated instructions from an instructor to an exerciser to perform lower extremity ...

Testing the effects of gentle vibrotactile stimulation on symptom relief in fibromyalgia [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Sensory disturbances in fibromyalgia extend beyond nociception. It has been proposed that imbalance in the mutual competition between painful input and non-painful sensory activity may, to a significant extent, account for the augmented ...

Vibrotactile Stimulation of Nail of Hallux during Walking: Effect on Center-of-Mass Movement in Healthy Young Adults

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Previous studies have reported that vibrotactile stimulation of the nail of the hallux decreases the variability of the center-of-mass (CoM) movement in the lateral direction in subjects performing unsteady walking on the spot.

Vibrotactile stimulation at 40 Hz inhibits Aβ-induced changes in SH-SY5Y, BV2 cells, and pericytes

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) poses a major societal challenge, yet no definitive cure exists. Noninvasive brain stimulation methods, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation, have shown promise in alleviating ...

A new vibrotactile stimulator for functional MRI [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, 2000
Presenting various stimuli in an MRI scanner can be difficult due to the high magnetic field associated with the scanner. Mechanical vibration stimuli are difficult to deliver to subjects in the MRI environment because most vibration devices contain internal circuitry that can adversely interact with the high magnetic field.
