Research of a cutaneous sensation mechanism

Research of a cutaneous sensation mechanism

We investigated about the relation of the amount of psychology and the amount of dynamics for the purpose of clarifying the pain acceptance mechanism in the skin about a pain by the mechanical stimulus with a needle using the skin model. Concretely, we built the skin elastic body model and the 粘弾性 model and analyzed the relevance of the dynamic parameter of modification and 痛覚閾値 by mechanical stimulus by the simulation, and it found out that the differentiation of the height direction of a perpendicular distortion was related. Moreover, the principle of a pain sensor was shown based on this result (patent 1).
Furthermore, we introduced the minute electrode method which is the electric physiological technique which can measure primary neuron activity of man's cutaneous sensation so that it was not necessary to depend for the amount of feelings in the amount of psychology while we extended the candidate for research to the tactile sense and showed the mental physics target the effect of movement to a tactile sense. And we analyzed physiological / physical parameter of the texture consciousness by the skin.
