<p>DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL TESTING APPARATUS AND METHOD A differential thermal testing system comprising a first thermal conductive sensing plate, a second thermal conductive sensing plate, temperature altering means for altering the temperature of the second thermal conductive sensing plate, temperature maintaining means for maintaining the first thermal conductive means at a constant first temperature, and temperature detecting means fox detecting the temperature differential between the first thermal conductive sensing plate and the second thermal conductive sensing plate. A method for determining the temperature sensitivity of an area of a subject comprising the steps of (a) contacting the area with a first thermal conductive sensing plate having a first temperature, (b) contacting the area with a second thermal conductive sensing plate having a second temperature, and (c) varying the temperature differential between the first thermal conductive sensing plate and the second thermal conductive sensing plate in order to determine the ability of the subject to discriminate between the first temperature and the second temperature.</p> |
