Description Usage Format Source References

A dataset containing the response recorded from a tactile discrimination task (nine participants). In a forced-choice experiment, participants were required to discriminate the motion speed of a moving surface by touching it. Simultaneously with the motion stimulus, a 32Hz masking vibration occurred in half of the trials.

1	data(vibro_exp3)

A data frame with 126 rows (14 observations x 9 participants) and 5 variables:

speed: numeric, speed of the moving surface (in cm/s, range c(1,16))
vibration: factor representing the vibration frequency of the masking stimulus. Two levels: 32 (vibration in the experimental condition, in Hz) or 0 (no vibration - control condition)
faster: proportion of trials in which the comparison stimulus was judged as faster than the reference
slower: proportion of trials in which the comparison stimulus was judged as slower than the reference
subject: participant's identification code
