This study investigates how people might interact to extract information from the forces experienced while holding an object together.   More specifically, the dyads (i.e. pairs formed two persons) participating to the study had to identify the direction of a small force applied to a jointly held object by a haptic device. This study included a condition where each participant responded independently and another one where the two participants had to agree upon a single negotiated response.

The dataset (data.csv) contains the force produced by the haptic device and the average and standard deviation of the interaction force for all trials together with the responses of the participants. We also included the initial and final position of the haptic device and total distance traveled for each trial.

The data are in comma separated text format and its description in a PDF document (readme.pdf).
