- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>The laser is able to irradiate the exact amount of stimulation to an area by a non contact method, and has the advantage of being able to stimulate the local target area.<bold>Objective: </bold>This study examined an efficient method of laser tactile stimulation using laser parameter combinations.<bold>Methods: </bold>The laser parameters that could cause an increase in the cognitive response rate of human subjects were examined without increasing the amount of total laser energy.<bold>Results: </bold>As a result, the appropriate matching parameters such as duty ratio, pulse frequency, and exposure time of laser pulses showed a dominant influence in effectively increasing the tactile response rate of subjects with limited amount of total laser energy.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>This study can be applied to neurophysiology, cognitive research, and clinical laser application.
