Abstract(in English) | There have been many studies of shedding light on the function of human brain. Facchini et al., for example, reported the effect of short-term light deprivation on tactile spatial acuity; the participants who were kept 90 minutes in complete dark showed, immediately after deprivation, a reversible improvement of tactile spatial acuity. Many of these studies, the stimuli were presented on the first finger passively by the examiner. Our study then investigates the effort of the short-term light deprivation for healthy normal sighted participants, but the task is different from the previous studies; the stimuli are tactile graphic stimuli, not Braille stimuli, and the participants touch the tactile graphics by the natural way that is similar to the way the blind touch. |
