Abstract

Lingual vibrotactile threshold adaptation and recovery effects were investigated. Three minutes of continuous vibrotactile stimulation preceded each of three experimental threshold trials. During recovery, three threshold trials followed rest periods of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 min. A control group performed the same tasks with no adaptor stimulus. The experimental subjects showed significant threshold decay from baselines, with subsequent recovery. The control subjects’ thresholds remained consistent with baselines. Implications for clinical oral sensory integrative testing are presented.
