Effectiveness of Vibration Massage in Automotive Seating

This research study will examine the effectiveness of a vibration massage system in automotive seating. The vibration parameters of the massage system will be tested by examining different vibration frequencies, types of vibration exposure, and location of the vibration while occupants are sitting in an automotive seat. The intern will measure biometric data of the participants, including electrocardiogram (ECG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and facial expression following different vibration massage patterns. Subjective surveys will be administered to the participants to determine what their vibration massage preferences are. The completion of this research project will further inform the partner organization regarding the bene
