Abstract

The performance of the tongue and forefinger in two isometric force tracking tasks was studied. Tracking a sine-wave force was done more effectively than tracking a square-wave force, using either finger or the tongue. Finger tracking performance proved to be consistently better than tongue tracking in either task.
