| Research Abstract |
Humans can perceive the length of a rod by simply grasping or wielding it, in the absence of visual information. This perceptual subsystem is called dynamic touch, and it functions through a combination of proprioceptive information and cutaneous tactile sensation. The previous studies described that humans should perceive the length by accepting rotational inertia of the rod. However, this study concluded that humans should estimate the length by perceiving the eigen frequency of the rod.
