Proceedings of the 10th Annual International Workshop on Presence}, url = {http://eprints.imtlucca.it/3160/}, abstract = {In this work we investigated the compatibility with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies of a fabric sensing glove. The glove is able to monitor hand posture and gesture, and could be fruitfully used in fMRI studies to explore brain activity during specific tactile or motor tasks. A specific compatibility test was performed and results are discussed. Preliminary results of an fMRI experiment on a subject wearing the glove are also reported and reproducibility issues are suitably addressed.} }
