摘要
An apparatus has been developed that measures tactile sensitivity using short, intermittent air bursts of variable intensity as the stimulus. Subjects easily learn to find their own tactile threshold as measured by an impulse of just noticeable pressure. Cost of construction of the device is modest. Copyright © 1969, Wiley Blackwell.
