Time-Based Analysis of Haptic Feedback and Collaboration in Human Dyads Using the KINARM

Abstract

This project investigates human-human physical cooperation using the KINARM robotic manipulandum to analyze haptic interactions in dyadic motor tasks. Specifically, I aim to determine whether the 0-400ms or 400-800 ms time window better captures key indicators of cooperation by examining how individuals adapt to disruptions such as target uncertainty and task effort. Data will be analyzed using autoregression, frequency analysis, and Granger Causality to gain insights into movement coordination and role specialization in collaborative tasks.
