“Tap Stimulation”: An Alternative To Vibrations To Convey The Apparent Haptic Motion Illusion

Vibrotactile sensations can be used to elicit apparent haptic motion illusions, which consist in using discrete vibration patterns to convey an illusory continuous moving sensation across the skin. However, experiencing prolonged vibrations is also known to increase the cognitive load. This study investigates whether continuous mechanical stimulations, or taps, that are activated in sequence, can ...
