Abstract

The present pilot investigation was designed to study the effects of pulse number on lingual vibrotactile thresholds when two different contactor sizes were employed. The results suggested that a temporal summation effect occurs with an increase in pulse repetition rate and contactor size. These findings are indicative of a need for future work involving summation measures as a basis for investigating the neurological integrity of the lingual sensory system.
