abstract = "![CDATA[We investigated the perceived frequency elicited by two vibrating probes on the skin. Participants (n = 11) compared two probes vibrating in counter-phase (25 Hz), with comparison stimuli of in-phase vibration (18–54 Hz). They indicated which had the higher perceived frequency. Skin sites on the palm (glabrous) and arm (hairy) were tested with a range of probe separations (1–16 cm) and amplitudes (10–120 μm). Perceived frequency increased with decreasing separation of the probes (F1,10 = 182.8, p < 0.001). The two skin sites did not significantly differ (F1,10 = 3.6, p = 0.087). Perceived frequency was only minimally affected by amplitude changes between 40 and 120 μm (F2,20 = 6.4, p = 0.007, g2 G {\^A}¼ 0:06). Both phase and spatial separation strongly influence vibrotactile interaction between two skin locations in a manner largely independent of changes in amplitude, and of skin type.]]",
