The measured items were near-infrared spectroscopy, electrocardiogram, finger skin blood flow and sensory test. As a result, the clothing pressure on the abdomen activated the following brain activity areas: “the prefrontal area”, “the lateral sulcus side area traversing the premotor area, motor area and somatosensory area” and “the parietal area across the motor area and somatosensory area”. In the somatotopic map of the postcentral gyrus by Penfield and Rasmussen, trunk sensations are located near the parietal region and intra-abdominal sensations are located near the lateral sulcus. It is presumed that the results of this experiment correspond to the somatotopic map. These results are useful to evaluate the influence that clothing pressure imparts to brain activity., Article, 日本感性工学会論文誌.14(3):361-367(2015)}, pages = {361--367}, title = {近赤外分光法を用いたウエストベルトによる被服圧下における脳活動計測}, volume = {14}, year = {2015} }
