Abstract
Two different forms of vibrotactile masking were explored:
• Backwards (BW)
• Common Onset (CO)
We used a two-channel setup, presenting stimuli to the middle and
ring finger of the participants’ right hand.
250-Hz sinusoidal stimuli were displayed in various combinations of
duration (30 & 300 ms) and stimulus onset asynchrony (0 & 30 ms).
Our results indicate the existence of a statistically significant
masking effect for both forms of haptic masking explored, with a
larger effect observed for common-onset.
An analysis of levels of confidence in response (rated at 70%) shows
no difference amongst two successful masking techniques
