Exploring Human Emotional Transition in Heterogeneous Space

Abstract

This pilot study was designed to demonstrate spaces as stimuli that evoke the continuity of personal experiences by exploring the emotional quality of different spaces via an individual’s psycho-physiological changes. That data was collected by fourteen participants through a biosensor and a body camera while walking and exploring in an indoor multi-functional public space in Manhattan. The finding verified the idea that each of us makes sense of the world differently. What underlies the reading of skin conductance responses told the granularity of our personal emotional experiences beyond verbal expression.
