During haptic communication, the central nervous system compensates distinctly for delay and noise
Fig 6
Participant specific (and average) tracking performance for the experimental data and in the simulation to analyse the mechanism to compensate for temporal delays.
Experimental results are shown for the delay group (A), as well as for the noise group (B). All simulated results consider only delay compensation, where results are shown for: no compensation (C), compensation as noise (D) and compensation by delay prediction (E). In all subfigures, the grey lines indicate individual participant (real or simulated) performance while the thick solid black line and the dashed black lines denote the median performance and interquartile range of performance across all participants.
