TuW-4 Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Measurement Technique of Brain Activity and Its Application to Human-Machine Interfaces

This paper provides an interaction science and noninvasive brain function measurement using NIRS to examine brain activity during vibration. In the paper, the comfort level is evaluated using the sensory evaluation as the subjective evaluation of vibration, and the brain activities are evaluated using NIRS for objective evaluation. Based on the analysis of brain-activity during the sensation of vibration, the relationship between vibrations, comfortableness of a ride and brain activity will be considered.
