Abstract :
Physiological and psychophysical functions underlying electrocutaneous stimulation are discussed, including a comparative review of stimulus parameters and coding formats. Procedures are recommended for implementing electrotactile displays and for generating reliable, painfree sensations with a useful communications bandwidth.
