A research team at the University of Seoul has developed a textile-based electrical stimulation suit capable of delivering both full-body tactile stimulation and therapeutic functions in collaboration with Hanyang University researchers.
The findings were published in April in the international scientific journal Nature Communications under the title, “A lightweight durable full-body electrical stimulation suit for haptic feedback and therapeutic applications.”
The University of Seoul said the study has been highly recognized as a next-generation neural interface technology that integrates electrophysiological stimulation-based tactile interfaces with therapeutic functions.
The university’s team was led by Kim Sun-hong, professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Park Dong-wook, professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Hanyang University team was led by Jung Yei-hwan, professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering.
