Tactile feedback is necessary for closing the sen-sorimotor loop in prosthetic and tele-operable control, which would allow for more precise manipulation and increased acceptance of use of such devices. Pressure stimuli are commonly presented to users in haptic devices through a sensory substitution to vibration. The precise nature of this substitution affects pressure sensitivity, as well as the ...
