Abstract
An experiment to obtain an equal sensation contour for whole-body vibration using a new, but demonstrably valid and reliable, paradigm was reported. Instead of requiring subjects [Ss] to equate variable vibration stimuli of different frequencies with a fixed standard stimulus, the paradigm employed a series of matching tasks with the standard stimulus being produced by the S in the previous matching task. The individual sensation contours produced provided strong indications of important significant differences between Ss with respect to response to vibration. Implications of these differences for the study of human response to vibration were discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
