Abstract
We have proposed a new effective and safe method for the arousal of car drivers using the alternating distributed static magnetic filed stimulation on their spine since 2010, the effectiveness of which has been evaluated for about fifty subjects with the defined arousal index (α+β)/(θ+δ) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements with driver's face monitoring after operation of the driving simulator. We found a remarkable arousal was evaluated at the back-head EEG. Thus we tried to clarify probable mechanisms of the arousal effect of the magnetic stimulation detecting the back magneto-cardiogram using the pico-Tesla resolution amorphous wire magneto-impedance sensor. We obtained a possibility of the arousal based on the probable promotion of the blood flow with the activated blood circulation system.
