The presentation of a moving tactile stimulus to a person's forearm evokes apleasant sensation. The speed, intensity, and contact area of the strokesshould be systematically changed to evaluate the relationship betweenpleasantness and tactile stimuli in more detail. Studies have examined therelationship between stroking stimulation and pleasant sensations usingairborne ultrasound tactile displays. The ultrasound-based method has theadvantage of reproducible control of the speed, intensity, and contact area ofthe stimulus. In this study, we prepared new stimuli focusing on the modulationmethods and the contact area and aimed to clarify their relationship withpleasantness in more detail. Evaluating subjective sensations, such aspleasantness, numerically and consistently is challenging, warrantingevaluation based on comparison. We propose a stimulus evaluation method thatcombines rough evaluation using Likert scales, detailed evaluation usingpairwise comparisons, and quantification of comparison data using theBradley--Terry model. As a result, we confirmed that the stimulus using lateralmodulation and that with a large contact area used in this study were morepleasant than the conventional stimulus for six out of ten participants.
