Abstract

We have developed a method of quantitative evaluation for vibration discrimination by ERP (Event Related Potential). We made a modulation matrix of high-pass component (40-200Hz) and low-pass component (2-20Hz), and gave modulated vibrations to a foretinger by a piezoelectric vibratos We examined ERP differences, which are amplitudes, areas and intervals, between a reference vibration of 2/40Hz and controlled vibrations.
