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.
