Аннотация:We have previously shown that short pulses of focused ultrasound may be used to stimulate locally receptor
neural structures and thereby induce all of the sensations that humans can perceive through the skin (for example
tactile, warmth and cold, tickling, pain, etc.). Furthermore, ultrasound modulated by sound signals (tone, speech,
music, etc.) can induce sound sensations corresponding to the nature of the modulation in people with normal
hearing. It was shown that the radiation force associated with ultrasound was the mechanism underlying these
effects that have been used for diagnosis in clinical practice. We also showed recently that the phenomenon of
the radiation force could be used possibly in robotic systems, sensors, and automated control systems, based on
the use of tactile sensations in the human-machine interface, as well as in devices that may allow blind and
visually impaired persons to perceive textual information presented on a tactile display.
