Auditory masking effects on lingual vibrotactile thresholds.
Auditory interaction effects on lingual vibrotactile thresholds were examined for 20 adult subjects. The thresholds from two different masking conditions were compared to the thresholds from a no-masking condition for three different frequencies. Results showed no auditory interference on obtained thresholds for any condition with any frequency. Future research endeavors are discussed with respect to gaining a more complete understanding of auditory interactions in lingual vibrotactile threshold measurement.
