The goal of this study is to present quantification method for empathy. The micro-movement technology (non-contact sensing method) was used to identify empathy level. Participants were first divided into two groups: Empathized and not empathized. Then, the upper body data of participants were collected utilizing web-cam when participants carried expression tasks. The data were analyzed and categorized into 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz, 15 Hz. The average movement, variation, and synchronization of the movement were then compared. The results showed a low average movement and variation in a group who empathized. Also, the participants, who empathized, synchronized their movement during the task. This indicates that the people concentrates with each other when empathy has been established and show different levels of movement. These findings suggest the possibility of empathy quantification using non-contact sensing method.

In this paper, we present change of human sensiblity when the 26 healthy female subjects were exposed with visual picture stimulus. We used Intermational Affective Picture System as the visual stimulus. The methods are AutoRegressive(AR) spectrum which is a linear method and Return Map which is a nonlinear mithod. SR spectrum may variability(HRV). The LF/HF of HRV and the variation of Return Map were analyzed from ECG signal of the female subjects. Return Map of RR intervals were analyzed by computiong the variation. When the subjets were stimulated by the pleasant pictures, LF/HF and variation were decreased compared with unpleasant stimulus, We may obtain good parameters for the measurement of the change of human sensibility for the visual picture stimulus.

The importance of problem solving in mathematics education has been emphasized and many studies related to this issue have been conducted. But, studies of problem solving in the aspect of affect domain are lacked. This study found the changing pattern of emotions that occur in process of a problem solving. The results are listed below. First, students experienced a lot of change of emotions and had a positive emotion as well as negative emotion during solving problems. Second, students who solved same problems through same methods experienced different change patterns of emotions. The reason is that students have different mathematical beliefs and think differently about a difficulty level of problem. Third, whether students solved problems with positive emotion or negative emotion depends on their attitude of mathematics. Fourth, students who thought that a difficulty level of problem was relatively high experienced more negative affect than students who think a difficulty level of problem is low experienced.

In this paper, research results on the change of music emotion are described. Our gaol was to provide a method of changing music emotion by a human user. Then we tried to find a way of transforming the contents of the original music into the music whose emotion is similar with the changed emotion. For the purpose, a method of changing the emotion of playing music on two-dimensional plan was describe. Then the original music should be transformed into the music which emotion would be equal to the changed emotion. As the first step a method of deciding which music factors and how much should be changed was presented. Finally the experimental method of editing by sound editor for changing the emotion was described. There are so many research results on the recognition of music emotion. But the try of changing the music emotion is very rare. So this paper would open another way of doing research on music emotion field.

Researches on artificial emotion which generates emotion artificially from various external excitations imitating human emotion has been initiated in recent years. But the conventional studies in which the emotion state is changed exponentially or linearly by external emotion excitation have a drawback that the variation of emotion state is changed rapidly and abruptly. In this paper, we propose an artificial emotion generation model which reflects not only strength and frequency of external emotion excitations but also period of it in the emotion state and represents the emotion state with a sigmoid curve w.r.t. time. And we propose an artificial emotion system which generates emotion at the situation of no external emotional excitations through recollection of past emotional excitations, and show its effectiveness through computer simulation results.

EEG(electroencephalogram) is characterized with auditory emotion in this study. Twenty university students participated in this study. The auditory stimulus was the natural sounds such as creek sound, clash, machining noise, and etc. They can cause the positive and negative emotion. EEG characteristics according to positive and negative auditory stimuli is tried to observe statistic difference. The significant difference is shown depending on the localized area. The auditory paraameters of EEG variation is examined for defining human emotion qualitatively. The results shows that the alpha and the beta at temproal area may be thd determinat of human auditory emotion.

본 연구에서는 사상관련전위인 수반음성변동(CNV)을 이용하여 쾌/불쾌 향의 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 즉, 건강한 20대 성인을 대상으로 쾌한 향(레몬)과 불쾌한 향(E3) 자극에 따른 CNV의 전기성분 및 후기성분의 변화를 대뇌부위별, 가산횟수별로 비교 분석하였고, 쾌/불쾌 향의 자극 반복에 따른 주관적 평가도 부가하여 검토하였다. 그 결과, 쾌/불쾌 향은 CNV 후기성분의 중심엽 부위에서 10∼15회 가산평균의 경우 정량적으로 구별될 수 있는 가능성을 보였고, 주관적인 평가에서는 반복 자극횟수가 증가함에 따라 쾌/불쾌감이 저하하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper described the effect of subjective approach in case of the human sensibility experiments. The procedure is proceeded subjectively. Human faces are selected as the image presentation media. Pleasant and unpleasant images are selected directly by examiner, And also the image presentation system, which is executed with a computer and has the square-type black box monitor equipment, is manufactured. Images are presented with the step-variation time interval technique. questionnaire test and EEG signal detection data are analyzed. The analysis parameters are a “frequency band integral value” and a “band differential variation ratio”. he results show the high sensibility and fast response. The fact that image presenting repetition alleviates is verified.

본 논문에서는 촉각의 효과적인 제시를 위한 하나의 보조수단으로 진동의 제시를 상정하고, 이를 위한 사전작업으로 진동에 따른 촉감의 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 진동 제시 장치를 제작하였고, 진동에 의한 촉감의 효율적인 평가를 위하여 손가락을 제외한 다른 경로로의 진동 전달 및 소음 전달을 차단하고자 하였다. 또한, 진동과 관련된 물리량으로 주파수와 진폭을 결정하였으며 이를 정량화 하였다. 본 연구의 목적이 진동에 의한 촉감의 미세조정과 관련된 것임을 고려하여 주관 평가 시 진동의 제시는 각 주파수별로 진동에 의한 촉감의 변화가 발생하는 기준 진폭으로 하였다. 주관 평과 결과, 주파수가 증가할수록 더 매끄럽게 느끼며 그 감각이 분명해 짐을 확인할 수 있었다.
