%T An MRI Compatibility Study of a Fabric Sensing Glove for Sensory-Motor Brain Activity Exploration
%U http://eprints.imtlucca.it/3160/
%X 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.
