Title :
A Feedback Controlled Stimulator That Delivers Controlled Displacements or Forces to Cutaneous Mechanoreceptors
Abstract :
Based on a design by the root locus method and utilizing both displacement and force feedback an instrument is described which can be used to deliver either controlled displacement or controlled force stimuli to the skin. Examples of the stimulator operated in each of its two modes are given.
