Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de distribution de stimulations tactiles chez un sujet humain et une méthode associée. Plusieurs stimulateurs tactiles sont fixés de manière amovible et provisoire sur la peau du sujet dans des emplacements appropriés du torse, du visage, des jambes et des bras, etc. Les stimulateurs tactiles sont des petits moteurs de vibrations. Un système de commande fait fonctionner manuellement ou automatiquement les différents stimulateurs pour provoquer les stimulations tactiles, et modifie le nombre et l'emplacement des stimulations en agissant sur chacun des stimulateurs tactiles. L'appareil a donc une configuration simple qui permet à un utilisateur, c'est-à-dire l'expérimentateur et/ou la personne examinée, d'utiliser facilement l'appareil sans recourir à un programme professionnel comme le logiciel E-prime pour vérifier si le nombre et l'emplacement (point) des stimulations générées sont reconnus. L'appareil de distribution de stimulations tactiles pour l'analyse de la reconnaissance des points de stimulation comprend : plusieurs stimulateurs tactiles qui sont fixés de manière amovible à la surface du corps du sujet et qui, alimentés en énergie, génèrent des stimulations tactiles ; un système de commande des stimulations tactiles qui est relié aux différents stimulateurs tactiles et qui en contrôle l'activation de telle sorte que chacun des stimulateurs tactiles génère de manière sélective des stimulations tactiles ; et un commutateur d'initialisation et de démarrage des stimulations qui commande l'activation des stimulateurs tactiles, qui sont censés être activés après que des signaux de commande sont émis par le système de commande des stimulations et transmis aux stimulateurs tactiles.
