| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined 1) effect of white-noise auditory stimulation thorough bone conduction on senses of touch and pressure for skin, and 2) effect of that stimulation on balance ability during quiet standing. The results showed that white-noise auditory stimulation thorough bone conduction significantly improved senses of touch and pressure for skin. It suggests that white-noise auditory stimulation thorough bone conduction can improve touch sense and can contribute to develop wearable devices for touch sense improvements. However, that stimulation did not show significant effects to improve the balance ability. More detailed examination should be needed for improving the balance ability by using that stimulation.
