Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the effects a cushion has on electrophysiological signals and to identify the important design elements required for manufacturing better therapy cushions.

Design/methodology/approach

Four types of attachment cushions were manufactured by changing the shell fiber (cotton or microfiber) and the interlining (synthetic loose fiber or buckwheat). The products were evaluated by 20 healthy individuals (10 stable cushions and 10 unstable cushions). We examined the participants by electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG).

Findings

The authors found significant differences in both EEG and ECG between participants with unstable and stable attachment types.

Originality/value

A complex approach to emotional product evaluation was attempted by analyzing differences due to design variables of cushions through subjective evaluation as well as EEG and ECG.

坐垫作为附件的电生理评估

目的

本研究旨在调查坐垫对电生理信号的影响，并确定制造更好的治疗坐垫所需的重要设计元素。

设计/方法/方法

通过改变外壳纤维（棉或超细纤维）和衬布（合成松散纤维或荞麦）制造了四种类型的附着垫。产品由 20 个健康人（10 个稳定靠垫和 10 个不稳定靠垫）进行评估。我们通过脑电图 (EEG) 和心电图 (ECG) 检查了参与者。

发现

作者发现，依附类型不稳定和稳定的参与者之间的 EEG 和 ECG 存在显着差异。

原创性/价值

通过主观评估以及 EEG 和 ECG 分析因垫子设计变量引起的差异，尝试了一种复杂的情感产品评估方法。
