Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
About 10 healthy volunteers, aged 20\~65, will be recruited. The investigators will measure the needle and the skin tremor by video optical microscopy. The variation of skin tremor and needle vibration and their spectra will be analyzed digitally. The model correlating skin tremor, needle vibration and basic physiological parameters will be constructed.The fact that the skin tremor and the needle vibration come from the same origin is expected.
However; due to the leverage effects and different dynamical responses to the source vibrations at different frequencies, needle vibration might exhibit some difference from skin vibration in their power spectra. This study should be able to construct a clear model of the possible vibration sources such as heartbeat and breathing, the area dependence of vibrations, the correlation between the skin and the needle vibrations, and the correlation with other physiological parameters.
