Abstract
Absolute thresholds for vibration were determined as a function of pulse number and contactor area on human glabrous skin. The results indicate that if a sufficiently large contactor is used, the skin summates the energy over pulse number and over the contactor area. The results also support the hypothesis that cutaneous tissue may contain more than one type of mechanoreceptor.
