摘要
We have developed a mechanical stimulator that can be used for studies of sensory physiology, psychophysics and tissue mechanics. The stimulator operates in either displacement or force-servo modes. It surpasses other available stimulators in respect to displacement range, measurement sensitivity and cost, and it can be easily assembled from parts that are commercially available.
