Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| •To test the functionality and the applicability of a developed thermal device for stimulating the human hand and tongue •To determine whether different simultaneously presented non-injurious cold and warm temperature combinations (18, 20, 22, 24, 36, 38, 40 and 42°C) usually known to induce a thermal grill illusion on the hand could also elicit this sensation on the tongue •To compare whether the sensation induced by various temperature combinations on the tongue is similar to the sensation induced when stimulating the hand under the same conditions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A secondary objective is to verify whether the sensation induced on the hand using the device build by ourselves would lead to the same results as those observed by Leung et al. (2005) in similar conditions. | — |
