Shown are the log means of perceived intensity ratings given in response to the 28° and 36° stimuli on cold- and heat-sensitive sites under conditions of sliding (open bars) and normal (hatched bars) contact. Vertical bars indicate standard errors of the means. Letters on the right y-axis of each graph represent descriptors on the psychophysical scale of perceived intensity (gLMS) that was used: NS = no sensation; BD = barely detectable; W = weak; M = moderate; S = Strong. The dashed lines highlight the finding that during normal contact, nociceptive sensations were on average rated below ‘barely detectable’.
