Abstract

We found that force or tactile sensation occurred when temperature of thermal elements which were statically touched by subject’s skin changes rapidly. This study aims to clarify its mechanism and to investigate its nature. In this paper, we conducted an experiment to verify incidence rate and quality of this thermal-tactile illusion. As result of the experiment, some kind of vertical sensation occurred and interpretations of occurred sensation were various.
