Title:
TACTILE STIMULATION DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS FOR TACTILE STIMULATION POINT RECOGNITION TEST AND METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/130036
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tactile stimulation distribution apparatus and a method therefor, in which a plurality of tactile stimulators are detachably and temporarily attached to proper locations of skins of a torso, a face, legs and arms, etc. of a human body, small vibration motors are used as the plurality of tactile stimulators, and tactile stimulations are caused using a tactile stimulation controller for manually or automatically operating the plurality of tactile stimulators while changing the number and the locations of stimulations by the plurality of tactile stimulators. Therefore, the apparatus has a simple configuration which allows a user, i.e. an experimenter and/or an examinee, to easily use the apparatus without using a professional program such as E-prime software in order to check whether the number and the locations (points) of the caused stimulations are recognized. The tactile stimulation distribution apparatus for a tactile stimulation point recognition test comprises: a plurality of tactile stimulators which are detachably attached to a surface of a human body and generate tactile stimulations when operating power is supplied thereto; a tactile stimulation controller which is connected to the plurality of tactile stimulators and controls operations of the plurality of tactile stimulators such that the plurality of tactile stimulators individually and selectively generate tactile stimulations; and a stimulation start and initialization switch for commanding tactile stimulators, which are determined to be operated after operation control signals are provided from the tactile stimulation controller to the tactile stimulators, to be operated.
