Psychophysical Analysis of Vibrotactile Sensation in the Hand

The Pacinan corpuscle (PC) is a stretch receptor located in the skin that senses high-frequency vibrations. Our group is interested in understanding how PCs located within the hand sense vibratory stimuli. This project involves using a high-frequency buzzer to perform psychophysical experiments on human subjects to analyze our ability to distinguish between different frequencies and complex stimuli.
