Abstract

An apparatus for measuring the level of a sensation, perception or integrated skill of a person, the apparatus being provided with stimulating means for inducing a physical stimulus to the person and means for registering a sensation level value in response to an indication signal from the person that the induced stimulus corresponds to the sensation to be measured. The apparatus is devised to provide a pulsating stimulus having means for varying the increase rate of the physical stimulus in order to ensure reliability in the measurement. In a further development of the invention, the apparatus is devised to selectively deliver a first physical stimulus that is comparable with an affective component of a sensation or a second physical stimulus that is comparable with a sensory component of a sensation.
