EVALUATION OF CLOTHING'S TACTILE COMFORT

ABSTRACT
Electroencephalography method was used to evaluate clothing tactile comfort. Physical properties, such as compression, surface and heavy performance, were studied by objective and subjective evaluation. Electroencephalography data were analyzed by Curry 7 and EEGLAB. The results showed that P3 wave could be utilized to evaluate the surface roughness of clothing. When the subjects came into contact with smoother fabric, the latency of P3 wave was shorter and its amplitude was smaller.
