Jelinek HF, McIntyre R. Electric pulse frequency and magnitude of perceived sensation during electrocutaneous forearm stimulation.
N=20 young male players with a handicap of 0-10 took part in a pairwise comparison experiment (Böhm, Krämer and Senner, 2009) rating the perceived sensation of four different drivers (same club head but different in shaft weight and flexibility).
Those provide a new alternative to peripheral (low-frequency) stimulation due to their ability to achieve pain relief without causing any perceived sensation but its efficacy and potential side effects are unknown.
While the constant free fall of the station offered a perceived sensation of weightlessness, the onboard environment was not one of weightlessness or zero gravity.
This dimension is understood as a general trait-like bias towards appraisal of the perceived sensation and is a further modifier of the perceived sensations, a second key trait, relatively stable but potentially modifiable by targeted, therapeutic interventions.
Participants were also told, both during somatic and visceral stimulations, to specify any other perceived sensation in an open box in the correspondent questionnaire.
A time trend (change) in visual analogic scale (VAS) [ 19] was used to assess perceived sensation of dyspnoea, thoracic pain, and well being.
The participants were told that after each stimulus the investigator would have ask them to mark in the questionnaire any perceived sensation.
This probably makes our stimuli falling short of being able to produce perfectly normally perceived sensations.
The Mercalli scale, on the other hand, is not based on registers, but focuses on structural damage and people's perceived sensations.
The psychophysical relationship between the magnitude of pressure on thirteen test locations of twenty healthy subjects' feet with four probe areas at three indentation speeds and the corresponding perceived sensations were analyzed.
