“…Stimulation to the tongue was delivered via a small electrode array placed on the anterior portion of the tongue and held in place by pressure of the tongue to the roof of the mouth (Kaczmarek, 2011;Tyler et al, 2003). The sensation…”

Electrical Tongue Stimulation Normalizes Activity Within the Motion-Sensitive Brain Network in Balance-Impaired Subjects as Revealed by Group Independent Component Analysis

Multivariate analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data allows investigations into network behavior beyond simple activations of individual regions. We apply group independent component analysis to fMRI data collected in a previous study looking at the sustained neuromodulatory effects of electrical tongue stimulation in balance-impaired individuals. Twelve subjects with balance disorders viewed optic flow in an fMRI scanner before and after 5 days of electrical tongue stimulation. Nine healthy controls also viewed the visual stimuli but did not receive any stimulation. Multiple regression of the 47 estimated components found two that were modulated by the visual stimuli. Component 7, comprised primarily of the primary visual cortex (V1), responded to all visual stimuli and showed no difference in task-related activity between the healthy controls and the balance-impaired subjects before or after stimulation. Component 11 responded only to motion in the visual field and contained multiple cortical and subcortical regions involved in processing information pertinent to balance. Two-sample t-tests of the calculated signal change revealed that the task-related activity of this network is greater in balance-impaired subjects compared with controls before stimulation ( p = 0.02), but that this network hypersensitivity decreases after electrical tongue stimulation ( p = 0.001).

“…As people walk in museums, they want to learn more about art objects. Several papers demonstrate the effectiveness of multi-sensory stimulation during learning experience for better understanding (Kaczmarek, 2010;3DPhotoWorks, 2015;Ucar, 2015;Logsdon, 2017). In recent years, daily life involves constant multisensory stimulation and many multi-sensory solutions are used everywhere with latest technologies such as electronic musical instruments (Takeuchi, 1996), interactive art which is a type of art involving audiences into the artwork (Yasuaki Kakehi Laboratory, 2009;TASKO.inc, 2015;TATE, 2017) and technologies for marketing (Taste and Aroma Strategic Research Institute, 2012;Kubota, 2016).…”

Museums' main functions are to preserve pieces of art, transmit and share knowledge. They are proposing more and more solutions to address the access to information. In this paper, our main purpose is to improve visitors' learning experience and knowledge transfer in museums. First, we did theoretical background review about museum experience and multi-sensory experience. Then, we propose a new method based on "Multi-sensory transformation matrix". Finally, we design the initial concept of a brand new multi-sensory solution that we plan to experiment with visitors in real museum environments.
