ABSTRACT
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 with a photoreflector and that to construct database of food texture with electromyography sensors. In this paper, we investigated the feasibility to control virtual food texture by EMS. We conducted an experiment to reveal the relationship of the parameters of EMS and those of virtual food texture. The experimental results show that the higher strength of EMS is, the harder virtual food texture is, and the longer duration of EMS is, the more elastic virtual food texture is.

Virtual food texture by electrical muscle stimulation
ISWC '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersWe 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 ...
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 SystemsIn 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. ...
