: 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.

: Laterality is a bias in which humans prefer one side over the other. Previous research has shown laterality in facial direction and facial aspects; right-facing faces are preferred over left-facing faces, indicating a rightward dominance. Right hemisphere is specialized for face recognition, and facial parts of a right-facing face are located on the left side; hence right-facing face is expected to have higher perceptual fluency. This study investigated the relationship between the object’s face-likeness and the preference laterality and the difference in perceptual fluency depending on the object’s orientation, using psychophysical experiment and EEG measurement. As a result, right-facing preference was revealed only for face-like objects. In addition, it was shown that the perceptual fluency of right-facing objects was higher than left-facing objects, regardless of face-likeness. These results suggest that preference laterality is due to the influence of a) facial information processing mechanism and b) cognitive bias acquired through experience.
