Spatiotemporal detection threshold of audio-tactile delays under conditions of active touch with and without a visual clue

Seuil de détection spatio-temporelle des retards audio-tactiles en conditions de toucher actif avec et sans indice visuel

Résumé

Active touch (AT) is defined as the action of touching, implying voluntary, self-generated movement. While much research has been conducted on multisensory interactions in passive touch, research on how AT influences how the senses interact remains scarce. Using a haptic surface (HS) based on ultrasonic vibrations, we investigated the perception of synchronization of audio-tactile stimuli in AT. Tactile stimuli were delivered upon sliding the finger over the tactile zone of the HS. Auditory stimuli (a white noise burst) followed the tactile stimuli with a delay ranging from 0 to 700 ms. Participants reported whether the two stimuli were perceived as coinciding in time or not. Two conditions were employed for the discrimination task: (i) either with a visual clue showing the location of the tactile zone on the screen; (ii) or with a black screen below the HS. Time delays (ms) between the tactile-auditory inputs were converted in displacement (mm), depending on the sliding velocity of the participant’s finger across the HS, to calculate spatial distances at which the two stimuli were perceived as coinciding or not with the same probability. The average distance was 5.87mm with visual cues and 5.63mm without a visual cue. No significant difference was found between the two visual conditions suggesting performance is not affected by the presence of a visual cue regarding the location of the tactile stimulus. Our results provide insights into the sensitivity of participants in perceiving spatiotemporal differences between tactileauditory stimuli generated during AT exploration.
