Abstract
This paper describes the relationship between tactile stimulation and human body sway. We previously proposed a body sway mitigation system based on tactile stimulation and revealed that simultaneous stimulation behind both auricles were significantly improve human balance function, however, the mechanism of it were not fully discussed. In this paper, some stimulation patterns were applied to participants and COP distribution before/after stimulation was extracted. The results showed that COP values after stimulation could be inclined to the opposite of the stimulation site. It indicates that tactile stimuli can control human balance function.
