Abstract

This paper reports detection threshold of human hairy skin when a vibration is presented on a skin via the hair human has. This vibration is provided from a tip of an instrument which travels horizontally against the human skin also the tip holds the hair. And the stimulation point is the middle of hair on the back of human finger, then the instrument does not contact with the surface of the skin directly. Presented stimulations have any frequency and amplitude, we measured threshold this vibration is detected. After some tentative experiments with three persons, the detection thresholds of human hairy skin represent a curve similar to the threshold curve of Patinian. This result has a suggestion that the stimulation infects Patinian capsule.
