TITLE: Spectral Peak Picking Improves Tactile Speech Perception
JOURNAL: Scientific Reports


This dataset contains a CSV file with the participant number, dominant hand (left or right), wrist circumference (mm), screening vibro-tactile detection threshold at 31.5 Hz (ms/2), screening vibro-tactile detection threshold at 125 Hz (ms/2), gender, age, and percentage correct for phoneme discrimination in each condition. The header name for each condition describes whether or not tSPP has been applied and how many peaks were picked. For example, for conditions without tSPP are labelled "No_tSPP" and conditions with 4 peak tSPP are labelled "4P_tSPP". Data is separated by consonants and vowels ("C" or "V") and whether speech is the male or female talker ("F" or "M").
