SUMMARY
We report experimental validation of the existence of so‐called the sleeping rebound phenomenon against each sensory stimulus using a driving simulator and the electroencephalograph for about 105 subjects with evaluation of an arousal index (α + β)/(δ + θ) in the electroencephalogram measurements after each driving operation. We found that methods using the perfume presentation, the alert presentation, the vibration, and chewing gum were resulted in the sleeping rebound phenomenon, while a proposed magnetic stimulation showed an arousal retention effect without the sleeping rebound. Mechanisms of the arousal effect of the magnetic stimulation were discussed with measurements of electric conductivity versus water temperature characteristics of pure water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
