The Effects of Object Independent Vibration on Visual Identification Efficiency

Abstract:

Choosing reaction time as dependent variable, the paper discussed the effects of object independent vibration on visual identification efficiency, which was under different vibration frequency, amplitude, direction and the position of target gap. The major experiment results indicated that the reaction time increase exponentially with the increasing of vibration frequency and amplitude within a certain range. This will provide a scientific basis for design optimization and vibration control of human-machine system.
