Wideband electromechanical stimulator

Medical and biological engineering volume 14, pages 585–588 (1976)Cite this article

Abstract

An electromechanical stimulator with wideband characteristics is described. Nonlinear control techniques have been used to achieve a fast rise time, a speedy settling time, and a very small steady-state error. The device has been used in quantitative investigations on cutaneous receptor units.
