The human finger is crucial for tactile perception, yet the biophysical properties—such as mechanical characteristics, contact properties, and surface texture—that contribute to this sensory process are not fully understood. This study explores how age, gender, and different touch gestures impact tactile perception by analyzing finger vibrations. Using an innovative algorithm (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, MFCCs), researchers […]

This study explores how age, gender, and different touch gestures affect tactile perception by examining the biophysical properties of forty human fingers. Findings show that finger size, contact area, and mechanoreceptor density are crucial in understanding how people perceive touch differently. By assessing both static and dynamic gestures in two directions, this research highlights the
