Abstract

We have previously proposed a novel method to present virtual food texture by using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to the masseter muscle, which is one of the muscles of mastication. Our system is "Electric Food Texture System" consisting of "bite detection part", "food texture database", and "electric stimulation part". We use a photoreflector to measure motion of user's lower jaw for "bite detection", electromyography sensors to measure food texture for "food texture database", and a medical electrical stimulator for "electric stimulation". In this paper, we present an application which presented virtual food texture of a gummy candy, a chocolate, a potato chip, and a rice cracker by using EMS and chewing sound. A user study showed that the reality of it was increased by using both EMS and chewing sound.

We propose Electric Food Texture System, which can present virtual food texture such as hardness and elasticity by electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to the masseter muscle. In our previous study, we investigated the feasibility to detect user's bite ...
Controlling Maximal Voluntary Contraction of the Upper Limb Muscles by Facial Electrical Stimulation
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper, we propose to use facial electrical stimulation to control maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the upper limbs. The method is based on a body mechanism in which the contraction of the masseter muscles enhances MVC of the limb muscles. ...
