面部体感反馈对生命最初几天的母乳喂养至关重要。然而，它的发展从来没有在人类身上进行过研究。在这里，我们开发了一种新的接口来测量新生儿的面部体感。这种新颖的系统允许通过同步记录头皮脑电(EEG)和实验者施加的力来测量神经元对触摸受试者面部的反应。这是基于一个专用的力传感器，它可以戴在临床丁腈手套下的手指上，并连接到商业脑电采集系统。经过校准的设备测量了研究人员在同时轻拍皮肤时施加的压力，以及由此产生的大脑反应。利用这个系统，我们能够证明192mN(平均值)的敲击能够可靠地诱发7名早产儿的面部体感反应。这些反应的时间进程类似于肢体刺激，但更多的侧向地形图分布与主要躯体感觉区域的身体表征相一致。因此，介绍的方法可以用于可靠地测量易受伤害婴儿的面部体感反应。
Facial somatosensory feedback is critical for breastfeeding in the first days of life. However, its development has never been investigated in humans. Here we develop a new interface to measure facial somatosensation in newborn infants. The novel system allows to measure neuronal responses to touching the face of the subject by synchronously recording scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and the force applied by the experimenter. This is based on a dedicated force transducer that can be worn on the finger underneath a clinical nitrile glove and linked to a commercial EEG acquisition system. The calibrated device measures the pressure applied by the investigator when tapping the skin concurrently with the resulting brain response. With this system, we were able to demonstrate that taps of 192 mN (mean) reliably elicited facial somatosensory responses in 7 pre-term infants. These responses had a time course similar to those following limbs stimulation, but more lateral topographical distribution consistent with body representations in primary somatosensory areas. The method introduced can therefore be used to reliably measure facial somatosensory responses in vulnerable infants.
