The touch of fabric is a very complex subject. In this study, the human being was considered as a touch sensor. The tactile afferent messages elicited by the mechanoreceptors of the skin in response to textile stimuli were studied. These messages were recorded on non-sleeping human subjects, by a method named microneurography. In a previous paper, it was shown that a unitary activity of fast adapting or slowly adapting cutaneous receptors can make the difference between the same fabric with different hairiness i.e. before and after emerizing process with different intensities.

Key Words: textile • touch • mechanics • acoustics • microneurography • hairiness • tribology
