A key concern in the design of a simulator is the level of realism necessary for proper training, and the underlying question about the level of fidelity required. A new experimental method for surgeon sensory interaction characterization has been defined and implemented. It aims to determine the relative importance of three components of surgical skill training: surgical experience and knowledge, visual cues and tactile information. The implementation is centered in studying tissue consistency perception.
