In this study, an unconstrained respiratory state classification system is proposed at each time step to detect the symptoms of sleep apnoea. An air mattress–type pressure sensor was developed to unconstrainedly measure the respiration signal during sleep. Based on the measurements, an algorithm that can classify respiratory states by applying a multidimensional probability distribution is proposed. Two types of validity experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, it was verified whether the respiration signal could be accurately measured by the developed pressure sensor. The results showed an average absolute error of 0.3 br/min. In the second experiment, the robustness of the classification accuracy to variations in the physical characteristics of the participants and recumbent positions was verified. The results showed an average F-value of 0.83 when extreme value distribution was applied. The classification accuracy of the proposed method outperformed the simple threshold method and the authors’ previous work.

Touching is a medical action wherein a practitioner touches a patient’s body. Touching has positive physical and mental effects, and is an important technique for nursing. This study examines the effect of touching on patient frustration. To induce frustration, we adopted a mouse pointer-moving game and a calculation task: the game required moving a mouse pointer from the start to the goal without touching walls or obstacles. We asked the participants’ acquaintance to gently touch their backs during the intervention trials. For evaluation, we used power spectral density (PSD) and electroencephalogram (EEG) event-related potential (ERP), and participants’ self-evaluation scores. Theta, alpha, and beta band PSDs increased in frustrating tasks compared to the resting state, however, PSD increments of touching intervention tasks were less than that of control tasks. These results confirm that an acquaintance’s touching can reduce frustration in difficult tasks, and concomitantly reduce unpleasant emotions.

: This study aimed to investigate sensory hypersensitivity among university students. A 27-item questionnaire contained statements of modality-specific sensitivity (visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, and tactile). A total of 65 Japanese undergraduate students and 31 Chinese master’s students majoring in design were enrolled in the study. The results showed that (i) Design major students in the two countries reported a similar tendency of modality-specific sensitivity, and they all mostly involved visual hypersensitivity. (ii) Chinese students reported sensory hypersensitivity problems more frequently than Japanese students in all five domains. (iii) More Chinese students preferred coping with the sensory hypersensitivity by avoidance than Japanese students, whereas more Japanese students preferred coping with it by bearing. Our study suggests that the prevalence of and coping strategies for sensory hypersensitivity differs between the countries.
