Psychophysics data for determining the effect of actuation speed on pressure, force and reduction thresholds.

This dataset contains the data collected during psychophysical studies into the effect of actuation speed of pressure by a soft actuator on the forearm. The was collected during psychophysical experiments in the lab where participants placed their arm in a motorized ribbon set-up which contracted to present participants with pressure stimuli of various forces and actuation speeds. Participants wore noise-canceling headphones ad a barrier prevented them from seeing their arm in the set-up. Participants indicated whether they felt the stimulus or not, this was repeated for 35 trials using the PSI method. The data was logged by psychopy in a .txt file and a .nmpy file for each participant.

本数据集收录了一项心理物理学研究的采集数据，该研究旨在探究软执行器（soft actuator）施加压力的驱动速度对前臂的影响。实验于实验室中开展，受试者将手臂置入电动带状实验装置内，该装置通过收缩动作向受试者施加不同力值与驱动速度的压力刺激。受试者全程佩戴降噪耳机，同时设有遮挡装置以阻止其看到装置内的手臂。受试者需报告自身是否感知到该压力刺激，此实验流程采用PSI方法重复进行了35次试次。每位受试者的数据均由PsychoPy软件记录为.txt文件与.nmpy文件。
