This research program aims to construct a comprehensive sensory performance map across a broad range of biocompatible tribological compounds. By estimating posterior distributions across a variety of performance parameters, we will be able to generate a multidimensional representation of perceived performance which will be refined through successive studies to isolate robust latent psychological variables of sensation. This iterative process allows for the characterization of perceptual tradeoffs and, ultimately, the probabilistic prediction of sensory performance parameters based on formulation composition.
