Abstract

Understanding the somatosensory system and its abnormalities requires the development of devices that can accurately stimulate the human skin. New methods for assessing the somatosensory system can enhance the diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis for individuals with somatosensory impairments. Therefore, the design of NeuroSense, a tactile stimulator that evokes three types of daily life sensations (touch, air and vibration) is described in this work. The prototype aims to evoke quantitative assessments to evaluate the functionality of the somatosensory system and its abnormal conditions that affect the quality of life. In addition, the device has proven to have varying intensities and onset latencies that produces somatosensory evoked potentials and energy desynchronization on somatosensory cortex.

NeuroSense：具有 OPENVIBE 通信功能的非侵入式可配置体感刺激器

要了解躯体感觉系统及其异常情况，就必须开发能够准确刺激人体皮肤的设备。评估体感系统的新方法可以提高体感障碍患者的诊断、治疗和预后。因此，本作品介绍了 NeuroSense 的设计，这是一种能唤起三种日常生活感觉（触摸、空气和振动）的触觉刺激器。该原型旨在唤起量化评估，以评价体感系统的功能及其影响生活质量的异常情况。此外，该设备已被证明具有不同的强度和起始潜伏期，可在躯体感觉皮层上产生躯体感觉诱发电位和能量不同步。

期刊介绍： HardwareX is an open access journal established to promote free and open source designing, building and customizing of scientific infrastructure (hardware). HardwareX aims to recognize researchers for the time and effort in developing scientific infrastructure while providing end-users with sufficient information to replicate and validate the advances presented. HardwareX is open to input from all scientific, technological and medical disciplines. Scientific infrastructure will be interpreted in the broadest sense. Including hardware modifications to existing infrastructure, sensors and tools that perform measurements and other functions outside of the traditional lab setting (such as wearables, air/water quality sensors, and low cost alternatives to existing tools), and the creation of wholly new tools for either standard or novel laboratory tasks. Authors are encouraged to submit hardware developments that address all aspects of science, not only the final measurement, for example, enhancements in sample preparation and handling, user safety, and quality control. The use of distributed digital manufacturing strategies (e.g. 3-D printing) is encouraged. All designs must be submitted under an open hardware license.
