Sensory testing in non-human primates can be used to detect subtle sensory toxicity of chemicals. Examples are given covering the determination of spatial contrast sensitivity in monkeys exposed to methyl mercury as an example of visual psychophysics, and the assessment of vibration sensitivity in monkeys exposed to acrylamide, as an example of somatosensory psychophysics.
在非人类灵长类动物中进行的感觉测试可用于检测化学物质的细微感觉毒性。文中给出了一些例子,包括以视觉心理物理学为例,测定暴露于甲基汞的猴子的空间对比敏感度;以及以躯体感觉心理物理学为例,评估暴露于丙烯酰胺的猴子的振动敏感度。
