: Cedar wooden-shingle boards used as the Japanese traditional roofing material are handmade by craftsmen, and there is a need for technology that stabilizes its product performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish a method for quantitatively selecting cedar wooden-shingle boards by non-destructive methods based on color of the board, as done by craftsmen. Hence, in this report, a relationship was analyzed to evaluate the boards’ strength from colorimetric values by using a “transverse direction 3-point bending test”. As a result of multiple regression analysis, CIE L*, a*, and b* were adopted as coefficients, and confirmed that the maximum bending stress of the test piece can be predicted with a high correlation based only on the color. Furthermore, data from different types of color measurement instruments were compared and similar findings were observed.

Sound symbolism is the non-arbitrary associations between pseudowords and meanings. It has been reported that these associations extend to the lexical stimulus (e.g., names and faces); however, it is not clear whether non-native English speakers feel the same way. Experimental results using the stimuli that have existing associations might be affected by language family. In this study, we created high-quality images of Caucasians with generative modeling and then conducted a questionnaire survey on Japanese native speakers. The results showed that names containing round-sounding phonemes could be associated with face images possessing feature amounts related to roundness. The same is true of sharpness. This tendency implies Japanese native speakers also feel the non-arbitrary associations between names and faces.

305-8577, Japan Abstract : We have been developing a cognitive assessment system based on an electroencephalography-based brain-machine interface (EEG-based BMI) that uses event-related potentials (ERPs) as a virtual “EEG switch.” ERP reflects a temporal change in attention and is also known as a potential biomarker for assessing cognitive functions for older people even with motor decline. We recorded EEG data from 26 healthy adult subjects (18-79 years old) who performed the target-selection task with the EEG switch and compared the result with that of a standard neuropsychological test, the “Trail Making Test” (TMT). We found a correlation between them, and the result showed that this system has the potential for early detection of cognitive decline in

606-8501, Japan Abstract : Prior studies suggest that an office environment is associated with communication-related psychological factors, including emotional state, impressions of personality, and psychological distance. We developed a hypothetical model where three psychological factors are assumed to mediate the relationship between the office environment design and expectations for effective communication. To examine this hypothesis, we surveyed white-collar men (N=400) via questionnaires. The experimental framework investigated the effects of visual design factors on expectations for communication, with the three psychological factors as mediating factors. Path analyses revealed that the impressions of “bright” and “warm” in the office environment influenced emotional state and impressions of the personality, while the impression of “natural” affected the psychological distance. Further, our analyses showed that these three psychological factors are linked to expectations for communication and for trusting other individuals. These results suggest that an office environment that gives bright, warm and natural impressions may be facilitative

: This study aims to produce more attractive front grills that matched the design to the customer’s kansei in each nation. In this paper, the visual impression observed in the front grills of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have been investigated by using 3D computer graphics and compared the effect of design types on the visual impression between Japanese and Thai consumers. Twenty-four front grills from four design types: vertical-lined type, horizontal-lined type, v-shaped type, and mesh type, were created, and four adjectives: ‘special’, ‘luxury’, ‘aggressive’, and ‘advanced’, were selected for this experiment. The visual impression for each front grill was evaluated by Rating Scale method ranging from 0 to 30. As a result, it was clear that the feeling of ‘aggressive’ is improved as the width of straight metallic parts becomes thicker, and mesh type is effective for the feeling of ‘special’ and ‘advanced’ of Thais, for instance. These results will be useful for manufacturers to propose more attractive products that match the preference of local consumers.

: With the spread of digital games, board games as analog games are also popular. There are several discussions focusing on educational methods using board games. However, although it is said that it will have improved communication skills and educational effects, there is not much specific analysis. It is considered impossible to conduct social experiments that only control the use of board games, and it is generally difficult to measure them. Therefore, in this study, based on the hypothesis that it is effective, we set the “Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons” by METI as educational effects for 24 types of board games and analyzed the relationship. This paper describes the results. In addition, we discuss whether board games can be generalized for playing and learning, and the “Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons” for educational effects.
随着数字游戏的普及,作为模拟游戏的桌面游戏也开始流行起来。有几个讨论集中在使用棋盘游戏的教育方法上。然而,虽然有人说它会提高沟通技巧和教育效果,但并没有太多具体的分析。人们认为不可能进行只控制桌面游戏使用的社会实验,而且通常很难对其进行测量。因此,在本研究中,我们在有效假设的基础上,将METI的“Working Persons Fundamental competency for Working Persons”作为24种桌面游戏的教育效果,并分析其关系。本文描述了研究结果。此外,我们还讨论了棋盘游戏是否可以推广到游戏和学习中,以及“工作人员的基本能力”的教育效果。

We investigated the multisensory emotion perception from humanoid-robot. In the experiment, participants were presented with video clips containing emotional colored eyes and voice (Task 1) or body gesture and voice (Task 2) of the robot, which were either congruent or incongruent in terms of emotional content (e.g., a happy body gesture paired with a sad voice on an incongruent trial). Participants were instructed to judge the emotion of the robot as either happiness or sadness. We examined the proportion of responses based on visual or auditory cues for the robot’s expression. Results showed that participants relied more on auditory cues than on the visual cues in Task 1. However, this vocal superiority was not observed in Task 2. These results suggest that the multisensory emotion perception from the robot is different whether the cues are natural or artificial. We proposed a model for multisensory emotion perception from a robot.
