Title
Comparison Of Reaction Times In Response To Electrical And Visual Stimulation Using A High-Speed Camera
Abstract
Recently, information about reaction times in response to perceptive stimulation has been used to develop several applications focused on movement instruction. However, knowledge is still lacking about reaction time related to haptics, especially electrical stimulation. Therefore, in this study we measured and analyzed reaction time in response to electrical and visual stimulation in human participants using a 250 fps highspeed camera. In our experimental process, participants were placed in a separate room and they wore soundproof headphones to shield them from external noise. Subsequently, they conducted reaching tasks involving visual and electrical stimuli. Using a high-speed camera, we recorded participants' hand motions from a top view (thereby focusing on the backs of their hands) and calculated their reaction time via image processing. The results show that reaction time in response to electrical stimulation is approximately 200 ms, which is more than 35% faster than reaction time in response to visual stimulation. Consequently, our results could augment basic knowledge about electrical stimulation in real-time feedback systems. The data obtained may help in electrical application in high-speed use.
