Abstract

In order to understand the method of controlling the intensities and the areas of pressure sensations evoked by the electrical stimulation of a sensory nerve fiber, the quantitative relationship was studied between the stimulation signal (which is input intraneurally into a single slowly adapting mechanoreceptor unit (type I) using micro electrical stimulation method) and the subjective intensities and the areas of the evoked sensations. The subjective magnitude of the evoked sensation was found to intensify with an increase in the stimulus frequency.
