The somatosensory evoked response (SER) to Vibrotactile stimuli superimposed on a constant vibrotactile background of different intensities was studied in 5 subjects. It was found that vibrotactile background of low intensity enhanced the amplitude of the SER. Further increase of the intensity of the background caused a decrease in the SER amplitude. These resulted are compared to evoked response studies in visual and auditory systems.
