The effects of skin temperature on the detection and discrimination of tactile stimulation

Detection thresholds and intensity-difference thresholds were measured on four subjects ranging in age from 19 to 22 years. The stimuli were 250-Hz bursts of vibration applied through a 3.0 cm2 contactor to the thenar eminence of the right hand. Detection thresholds were substantially higher at 20 C...
