Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, (1) for healthy adult participants, (2) selective stimulation of nerve fibers to extract brain responses corresponding to specific fiber-related tactile comforts. The purpose of this study is to clarify whether (3) compairing to non nerve-fiber-specific stimulation, (4) specific waveforms can be found at specific latency and specific scalp site.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Confirm whether the waveforms obtained by scalp electroencephalography appear as a specific latent time corresponding to the activity of specific tactile-related nerve fibers, and identify their scalp distribution.

Key secondary outcomes

(1) Confirm whether the waveforms obtained by scalp electroencephalography increases or decreases in response to a specific sensitivity evaluation.
(2) Confirm whether the activity of specific nerve fibers and the sensitivity evaluation increase or decrease depending on the person's prior state (personality tendencies).
(3) Comfirm correlation between the reaction intensity (amplitude) of nerve fibers and the number of heartbeats or facial muscles.
