Experimental setup and behavioral results. (A) The fabric caressing device (FCD) stimulated the right inner forearm during the experiment by rotational movements. In different blocks four different fabrics were mounted on the drum. Participants had no vision of either fabric or device as this was occluded. (B) The average pleasantness ratings (scale 1–9) for the different fabrics across participants (1–13) and the average across subjects on the very right (AVG). A high rating indicates a “pleasant” experience whereas a low rating indicates an unpleasant experience. Subjects consistently rated fabric 1 as the least liked and fabric 4 was on average the most liked fabric. Note the inter-individual variation in the ratings in particular for fabrics 2–4 which can be exploited for correlating pleasantness to the EEG measures.
