doi:10.19398/j.att.202203070

Abstract

Abstract: People's health design requirements for the fit, functionality and comfort of wearable fabrics are gradually increasing, and the research on the perceptual mechanism of fabric tactile comfort is urgent. The event-related potentials (ERPs) technology with microsecond time resolution can quickly capture the changes of EEG signals related to fabric comfort, which is of great significance for exploring the dynamic perception mechanism of fabric comfort.
ERPs technology can effectively monitor the relevant brain regions under the fabric contact stimulation in real time, so as to obtain the potential components related to the tactile comfort of the fabric. By recording the amplitude, latency and distribution of evoked potential components, we can quickly, objectively and accurately understand the psychological and physiological changes in the process of stimulation, so as to characterize the comfort level of human body. Specifically, the evoked potential components P50, P100, P200, P300 and N450 are characterization indexes of brain physiological response to mild tactile stimulation and contact pressure stimulation. In the process of application of ERPs technology, it is mainly affected by physical, physiological and psychological aspects. Physical factors include stimulation probability, stimulation frequency, stimulation mode, stimulation task difficulty and stimulus characteristics; physiological factors include age, gender, health status, sensory selection and stimulation site; psychological factors include subjects' emotional state and attention.
At present, the evaluation of tactile comfort of fabrics based on ERPs technology has become a hot research topic. The amplitude and latency of its components can effectively evaluate the tactile comfort perception of fabrics, which provides great potential for in situ characterization of tactile stimuli of fabrics.
Based on the brain perceptual representation principle of ERPs technology, we summarize the research status of ERPs technology in the evaluation of the fabric′s slight tactile comfort and contact pressure comfort. It is concluded that the components P50, P100, P200, and P300 are related to the fabric's slight tactile comfort perception, and N450 is related to fabric deep contact pressure perception. Many factors such as physics, human physiology and psychology affect ERPs evoked potentials. In the process of fabric contact stimulation, it is very important to master the quantitative influence of interference factors on brain evoked potentials, and to control and eliminate interference factors. It is very important to explore the characterization of fabric comfort by using ERPs technology in the future. We should further explore the brain potential components induced by surface property stimulation such as cold and warm feeling, clinginess and itching feeling and cross-sensory stimulation, and quantitatively study the stimulus and potential components of fabrics.
