Abstract

Haptic technologies are widely used in multimedia entertainment to increase the immersiveness of the experience. Studies regarding the psychological effects of haptics during audiovisual (AV) entertainment support this notion. However, the neurophysiological mechanism by which haptics increase AV immersion remains unclarified. Using between groups exploratory comparisons of whole-brain source-localized electroencephalographic theta (5–7 Hz), alpha (8–12 Hz), and beta (15–29 Hz) band activity, the present study analyzed the effect of high fidelity vibrokinetic (HFVK) stimulation on cortical brain activity and self-perceived immersion during the viewing of cinematic AV stimuli. Our results revealed that HFVK increased immersiveness potentially via enhanced top-down processing within sensorimotor areas in the mirror neuron system.
