Factors Influencing how Electrotactile Stimuli are Consciously Perceived
… interactions, by having participants detect electrotactile stimuli applied at their upper limb. Findings from this body of work indicate that factors such as the nerve stimulated, anatomical location of stimulation, sex, age, and and a subset of their interactions can impact tactile …

Wearable lip-based electrotactile display : feasibility study, modeling, and system design
… sense of touch, we proposed a wearable lip-based electrotactile display. The miniaturized display is most effective with lip interface due to the excellent sensory characteristics of lips. Since lips have never been utilized for tactile display applications, two human- subject experiments (6M/2F) …

FingerEye: An Electrotactile-mechanism Enabled Adaptive Sensory-substitution Aid for the Blind and Visually Impaired
… (BVI). The final goal is to develop a novel electrotactile-based Braille (E-Braille) technology that helps the BVI to read any printed text that is not only written in the Braille language. The principle of work is the underlying electrotactile technique where a specialized electrical signal …

Mechanisms for enabling closed-loop upper limb sensorimotor prosthetic control
… an epidermal electronic device that can provide electrotactile stimulation (Chapter 3), and a custom-built prosthetic hand that relays contact and pressure information from the fingertips (Chapter 4). In each of these chapters, motor control is simultaneously enabled through the use of …

Creating tactile feedback with intelligent electrical stimulation to compensate for sensory impairment.
… present work was to explore whether a wearable electrotactile feedback system (EFS) could improve life quality by supporting people with balance instability as a result of this condition. In this study a wearable EFS was designed to estimate the magnitude of pressure applied to the feet during …

Multifunctional wearable fingertip electronics
… Multifunctional systems of this type allow electrotactile stimulation with electrode arrays multiplexed using silicon nanomembrane diodes (Si NM), high-sensitivity strain monitoring with Si NM gauges, and tactile sensing with elastomeric capacitors. Experiments have been conducted for each …

An Oral Tactile Interface: Design and Development
… for such a tactile interface, a flexible electrotactile display with 7 x 7 dome-shaped tactors has been designed and fabricated with thin film technology and an electroplating process. An oral tactile interface prototype is then made by mounting the tactor array on top of a mouth …

Far touch: integrating visual and haptic perceptual processing on wearables
… between at least 6 different frequencies of an electrotactile stimulation. Also, we propose a novel sequence of experiments that suggests that a change from active touch to passive touch, or from a visual-haptic environment to a haptic environment, typically yields a reduction of the sensitivity …
