A4.10
Fast-adapting and slow-adapting receptors
Cards in this group · 5
- A4.10.1Fast-adapting mechanoreceptors fire only at stimulus onset and offset, encoding change rather than sustained state
- A4.10.2Slow-adapting receptors fire continuously, encoding pressure magnitude and duration
- A4.10.3Fast adaptation is why clothing contact fades from awareness within seconds
- A4.10.4Vibrotactile feedback meant to be felt over a long duration should be designed as a varying pattern, not a constant output
- A4.10.5Adaptation speed sets the minimum usable repeat interval for tactile cues
