Psychophysics data of soft pressure by textile for young adults to determine the perception thresholds of force, pressure and reduction

This dataset contains the raw data collected during psychophysical studies into the effect of surface area of pressure by a soft actuator on the lower and upper arm. The data was collected during two psychophysical studies in the lab where participants placed their arm in a motorized ribbon set-up which contracted to present participants with pressure stimuli of various forces and surface area. Participants wore noise-canceling headphones and a barrier prevented them from seeing their arm in the set-up. Participants indicated whether they felt the stimulus or not. The data of the firststudy was logged in.txt files using Processing and can be found in the Pilot_Left_Rigt.zip. The second study was logged by psychopy in a .txt file and a .nmpy file for each participant.
