Tactor

“Tactor” Miniature Stimulators

The Tactor is a compact, lightweight vibrotactile stimulator designed to provide precise tactile feedback in neuroscience and psychology research. Built with advanced electromagnetic solenoid technology, it offers high performance and versatility.

Key Features:

• Compact Design: Measuring just 18mm in diameter and 12mm in height, and weighing 5.4 grams, it’s perfect for seamless integration.
• Wide Frequency Range: Operates effectively from static indentation (0 Hz) to 300 Hz, catering to diverse experimental needs.
• Optimized Efficiency: Engineered using finite element analysis for maximum performance.
• Localised Stimulation: Flat probe and fixed surround ensure targeted activation of RA 1 receptors.
• Compatibility: Works with standard audio amplifiers or Dancer Design Tactamp.
• Durable and Safe: Washable surfaces for disinfection and low electromagnetic emission for EEG compatibility.

Ideal for attachment to the skin with hypoallergenic adhesive rings or integration into objects and clothing, the Tactor delivers strong, precise vibrational stimuli to suit varied experimental setups.
