title = "Development of a tactile angle stimuli presentation device for tactile cognitive function discrimination",
abstract = "We have developed a novel automated device for assessing and training cognitive function on tactile senses. The device is capable of investigating tactile pattern discrimination. Tactile patterns are fixed to a conveyor belt and presented continuously to the subject. We used two gears to convert power from a stepping motor into a rotary movement of the belt. 16 different types of angle patterns can be presented in one diagnosis. Development of the device was intended to support our previous study about deficits in tactile discrimination because of aging and cognition disease, suggesting that the device provides a bright future for investigating cognitive function of touch discrimination. Expectantly, the device will be the medium to enable the future application for early diagnosis of dementia.",
