: The current study sought to examine differences in physiological responses to comfortable thermal stimuli applied to the soles of the feet during the simultaneous presentation of other sensory stimuli. As relaxing stimuli, underwater movie footage, classical music, light blue illumination, vibration of the trunk, and the odor of grapefruit oil were each presented simultaneously with a thermal stimulus. Electroencephalography of parietal and cerebral blood flow in the prefrontal cortex were measured. An increase in α -wave activity and a decrease in cerebral blood flow were found for all combinations of stimuli compared with baseline. Additionally, the results revealed differences in response speed depending on the stimulus presentation condition. However, the tendency suggesting a difference in response times depending on the stimulus condition was similar to that of the thermal stimulus alone. The results indicated that thermal stimulation has a substantial effect on the feeling of relaxation.

We measured the psychophysiological responses of participants wearing two kinds of undershirts made from hydrophobic fibers to investigate the sensation of clothing comfort. In the experiment, participants perspired following exercise. The perspiration increased the humidity within the clothing, decreased the skin surface temperature, and worsened the comfort sensation. Multiple regression analysis revealed a stuffy sensation and a skin contact sensation as factors of the comfort sensation. Measurements of physiological responses revealed that the low-frequency/high-frequency ratio obtained from an electrocardiogram had high negative correlation with comfort sensation in the exercise/rest process. A difference in the moisture transport properties of the samples revealed that participants discerned a stuffy sensation and cool sensation, and there is the possibility that the difference in the stuffy sensation of the samples can be evaluated by the CVRR, which is an index of parasympathetic nerve activity.

This paper proposes a method of estimating a group’s mood based on the number of synchronicities of heart rate peaks in the group as a means to support positive tourism experiences. This study constructed a prototype system with a smartwatch and a smartphone and conducted a field experiment for 12 groups at nine points of interest in Kyoto City, Japan. The results of the investigation showed that the proposed method could estimate a group’s mood from the relationships between the psychometric evaluation of groups and their synchronized heart rate peaks.

: This study explores the differences in visual perception of footwear based on gender by conducting semantic differential evaluations and classification tasks. Cluster and factor analyses were performed to analyze the similarities and factors in footwear styles, respectively. The cluster analysis results indicated that leather shoes and sneakers were the major styles clearly distinguished by the participants. Fancy leather shoes, described as “fancy and exaggerated” by men, and as “elegant and refined” by women, was the consensus style. Women emphasized on fashion and were more likely to perceive footwear integral to their outfit, whereas men valued the functionality of footwear and treated it as a tool. The factor analysis on footwear styles extracted four male factors: evaluation, attention, feature, and protection; and four female factors for: evaluation, charm, volume, and coverage. Women were more sensitive to the volume and weight of footwear, and were also more likely to sense its coverage.

An individual’s acceptance of novelty depends on their emotions. We previously developed mathematical models of emotional dimensions associated with novelty, such as arousal (i.e., surprise) and valence (i.e., positivity and negativity). The models based on Bayesian theorem have three parameters: prediction error, uncertainty and external noise. Based on Berlyne’s arousal potential, we formulated valence as an inverse U shape function of arousal. We assume that the arousal level where the valence turns from positive to negative shows the range of novelty users would accept. In this study, we derive a corresponding prediction error and term this ‘acceptable novelty’. Our model predicts that the greater the uncertainty, the larger the acceptable novelty. Our experimental results using musical stimuli with novice participants supports the model prediction under assumption that uncertainty is greater than noise. By contrast, experts’ result is explained by the model prediction when uncertainty is as low as noise.

: A model that estimates emotion types from bio-signals obtained by wearable monitoring systems was developed. A total of 470 events of strongly conscious emotions (happy, relaxed, sad, and angry) during work hours were recorded in 11 office workers under a total of 911 days of continuous monitoring of pulse rate, pulse rate variability (PRV), skin temperature, body motion, and conversation time with a bracelet-shape wearable sensor. When the four emotion types were developed on the two-dimensional plane consisted of valence and arousal axes, the former axis was composed of the coefficient of variation of high-frequency PRV amplitude and skin temperature, while the latter axis was composed of the frequency variability of PRV respiratory peak and conversation time. Among office workers, two emotional coordinates comprising the Russel’s Circumplex model may be estimated by bio-signals obtained by a wearable watch device.

Entrepreneurship education programs in universities are flourishing. The programs in Europe provide practical knowledge and skills on top of learning an entrepreneurial attitude. On the other hand, in the U.S., programs just provide practical knowledge and skills. In Japan, the programs provide practical knowledge and skills in the US style. However, it is very unlikely that students who will launch their business immediately after completing the program. In order to actually start a business, it is essential to develop “Entrepreneurial intentions,” but all program participants do not necessarily foster entrepreneurial intentions. In this paper, we define the preliminaries of entrepreneurial intentions as the willingness of students participating in the program to actively engage in PBL activities. As a means of fostering the preliminaries of entrepreneurship intentions, a series of methodologies is proposed as the VIA model using the SECI model’s conceptual framework as a means to verify its effectiveness.
