EEG-based evaluation of chair massage points on comfortableness in a massage
Based on objective and subjective evaluation, comfortability of chair massage was assessed by measuring the change of electroencephalogram(EEG) and subjective feeling during a massage in 3 measuring points(neck, back, and waist), and the relationship among massage points, comfort of massage and EEG changes were analyzed. Experimental results showed that comfort of massage has the same trend with θ wave and substantially opposite to α wave, and different massage feeling was produced by the same massage mode on different massage points.
