At a glance

How does the length of a vibration sequence change the amount of information a person can recognize?

Quantifying how much information people can distinguish when one, two, or three vibrations are delivered in sequence across the body.

The approach

Absolute-identification experiments compare sequences of one to three vibrations. Information-transfer estimates characterize a large stimulus set while accounting for the practical limits of experimental sampling.

Key takeaways

  1. Sequence length as a design variable

    The study measures how distinguishable information changes with the number of sequential vibrations.

  2. Estimating a large stimulus space

    Combined estimation methods make it possible to study many patterns with a limited number of observations.

  3. Guidance for full-body messages

    Information capacity and commonly confused patterns help designers choose effective sequences. Frequency and intensity variation remain outside this study's scope.
