3118 Embodied Interface Available in the MRI Environment : Development of the Respiration Representation Device Focused on Feeling of Connection
Details
Recently, there's been a research on supporting for emergence of feeling of connection with remote person through embodied interaction using haptic interface. In this research, we aim to verify the effectiveness of such a haptic interface through the viewpoint of brain science. So, at the beginning of this research, we developed the respiration representation device available in the MRI environment. This respiration representation device presents the remote partner's respiration as compressive stimulation in order to support the emergence of feeling of connection with him. And we confirmed that this respiration representation device had no influence on MRI imaging, and functioned well in the MRI environment.
