Velocity and ridge-to-ridge distance frequency modulate mechanoreceptive sfferent unit firing during passive stimulation
1 : University of Gothenburg
The firing activity of single unit mechanoreceptor afferents in the human hand is recorded while robotically stimulated by a sliding surface varying in the spatial period of surface ridges, normal force, and sliding velocity. We find that firing activity is not time-locked, but rather firing is significantly modulated at the fundamental frequency determined by the ratio of the sliding velocity and spatial period of the surface.
