- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reported perceived stimulus locations: Subjects report the perceived location of each stimulus on the tablet monitor after each trial.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Sensation thresholds (minimum stimulus current which elicits a sensation): The stimulus current which is required to elicit a sensation using electrocutaneous stimulation differs between subjects and stimulus sites. Therefore at the start of each experiment, the sensation thresholds will be determined for each of the stimulus sites;<br /><br>2. Perceived stimulus intensity and quality: Electrocutaneous stimulation can lead do different sensations depending on the innervation of the stimulus site. Large differences in quality (dull, sharp) or intensity provide unwanted clues to subjects for distinguishing the sites. Therefore. at the start of each experments, subjects will rate the quality and intensity on a continuous scale of 0-10. Electrodes of which the scores deviate from the others will be excluded from analysis.
