In experiments the effect of illusion of motion was excited by sequential electric stimulation of the portions of skin surface on the back of the operator's left hand by using eight active electrodes (1 cm2), positioned on a straight line and held in place by a rubber bracelet. The contact between the electrode and the tissue was achieved by using electrode paste. An indifferent electrode whose area was 30 cm2 was attached to the operator's forearm. The electrodes were energized by different time sequences of signals of controlled length at various frequencies. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of use of the illusion of motion for control purposes, one must first determine the parameters of the space-time method of formation of input signals of the sensor system, which satisfy the requirements of a comfortable sensation, continuity and clarity of the induced touching motion feeling. These are determined in the paper. Ultimately, one must also investigate such characteristics as the range of recognizable velocities of motion, the differential sensitivity with respect to the velocity of motion (the resolution capability of the sensor system), the ability of the operator to be trained to recognize a specified (reference) velocity of motion, and must estimate the accuracy of execution of the regulating actions by an operator who uses the effect of the illusion of motion for control purposes. This article is devoted to the solution of these problems.
