Fundamental Study of Recognition in Fine Particles through Tactile Sensing with Fingers

- Influence of Hysteresis in Tactile Sensation on KANSEI Evaluation -

Abstract

This study analyzes the recognition process of examining the texture of fine particles through tactile sensing using human fingers and aims at establishing the structure of texture recognition. Our previous study confirmed the occurrence of hysteresis in tactile sensation in the mid-teens. The research study describes the influence of hysteresis in tactile sensation on KANSEI evaluation of fine particles.
