  • 1. Bogazici Univ, Inst Biomed Engn, TR-34684 Istanbul, Turkey

Description

Background: Rat skin is innervated by mechanoreceptive fibers similar to those in other mammals. Tactile experiments with behaving rats mostly focus on the vibrissal system which does not exist in humans. The aim of this study was to design and implement a novel vibrotactile system to stimulate the glabrous skin of behaving rats during operant conditioning.
