SOMATOSENSORY STIMULUS ACTUATOR AND HAPTIC DEVIE FOR USE IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

somatosensory stimulation device and haptic devices operating within a magnetic resonance apparatus is disclosed. Somatosensory stimulation device in response to a magnetic field in the magnetic resonance apparatus by flowing current Lorentz (Lorentz) magnetic field response portion including a coil portion for generating a rotational force according to the law and the magnetic field response part and is wired to the somatosensory stimulus to a subject is configured to include a transmission that provide stimulation. Further, the haptic device by a haptic feedback to a haptic portion and the flowing current is configured to provide a reaction force transfer catalyst corresponding to the input receiving the input sensor and the subject of the input in response to the magnetic field in the magnetic resonance apparatus according to the Lorentz law (Lorentz) includes a coil for generating a rotational force, and is connected to the wire part and the haptic feedback is configured to include a reaction field for driving the wire. Therefore, since the somatosensory stimulation device and the haptic device according to the invention is operated using a magnetic field in the magnetic resonance apparatus can not generate the high voltage required for the operation does not affect magnetic resonance images, the restrictions on the movement of the subject but can not provide a high degree of freedom act (DOF). ;
