Experimental setup, task and protocol design. (a) Placement of the piezoelectric actuators used to apply vibratory stimuli (fingertips, hand and forearms; palmar view). (b) Placement of the IMUs used to record the ongoing tremor (dorsal view). (c) Apparatus used to perform the postural task: patients rested the distal part of their arms on a horizontal elastic band in the arm support. (d) Schematic of the experimental protocol. In the top row, each rectangle is one of the five stimulation strategies; the expanded panel shows how each trial was divided in four 60-s epochs.
