Item Vibratory-interoceptive stimuli to enhance empathy(The Eurographics Association, 2024) Kitajima, Tatsuya; Okamoto, Shogo; Kosuge, Yuki; Tanabe, Takeshi; Yem, VibolVibration stimuli applied to the upper body, designed to stimulate interoception, can intensify emotional responses when watching videos or music. This study explores whether such stimuli can also enhance empathy. In the experiment, vibratory stimuli were delivered to individual participants while an experimenter exhibited emotional reactions. Nine participants observed a game scene, with vibratory stimulation triggered by the actor's emotional reactions in one condition and absent in another. Results showed that vibration increased empathy and excitement levels.
