The present study the feasibility of the new subjective assessment devise; Real-Time Subjective Assessment Digitizer (RTSAD). The subjects were instructed to evaluate their sensibility during the presentation of the positive and the negative visual stimuli using RTSAD. After the presentation of each of the stimulus, a questionnaire was used for comparing the results with those from RTSAD. It was argued that the biggest utility of the RTSAD is the capability of measuring and figuring out the trends of the subjective assessment in real time. The results from the questionnaires unlike the results from RTSAD, reflects only the averaged human sensibility for the entire time of the presentation of the stimulus.

This paper describes the implementation process of Virtual Modeling system for a customer-oriented product. The human sense is measured and analyzed by physical design factors and can be applied also for the product design. The first step implementing virtual modeling is to make a human sensibility("Kansei") database. Human sensibility database is constructed with the relational data of Kansei words and design factors. The next step is extraction the design information from the human sensibility database by fuzzy inference algorithm. This design information is used for the input data for the graphic database. Virtual implementation software compounds 3D shape of product. The final product can be modified according to the customer's requirement.quirement.

The objective of this research is the development of the Automatic Subjective Assessment System (ASAS). The proposed subjective assessment system is designed to evaluate human emotion and sensibility (or "gamsung" in Korean terminology) with subjective responses of volunteers about the experiment of emotion and sensibility. Once volunteers enter their subjective responses about the experiment into the developed system, the proposed system can automatically generate statistical results of human emotion and sensibility using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Then, the system stores the statistical results in the database which will be open to public through internet. The proposed system will be integrated into the universal" gamsung" assessment system for evaluation of human emotion and sensibility.

This study is to observe human observe human positive and negative sensibility according to modalities such as auditory, visual, olfactory and tactile sense. Twenty university students are participated in this study. Experiment is performed in the subject room specially designed. Measurement system is Spectrum 32 (Cadwell) and is capable of brain mapping. The results shows brain local areas showing statistically significant difference between the positive and negative sensibility in ergonomics.

In this study, to specify an evaluation of human sensibility, the types of color, intensity of illuminations and lights consisting work environmental condition are decided, and image data from examining the change of human sensibility followed by changes of the above three conditions are obtained. Using the factor analysis and quantification theory in multi-variate analysis type of Sensibility Ergonomics, determinating the structure of factors, specifying the relations of environmental conditions and factors can be done so that the structure of image on human sensibility space with the change of environmental conditions is analyzed.

Objective: The present study was intended to identify (1) the intra- and inter-rater reliabilities of a visual sensibility evaluation protocol and (2) the effects of NaCOC color and scouring method on the visual sensibility of NaCOC. Thirty female participants(20s & 30s) were participated in the visual sensibility evaluation of NaCOC. Background: Interests in naturally colored organic cotton(NaCOC) increase rapidly in parallel with the social trend of eco-friendly living and wellbeing. Method: Three color sets (ivory, green, and coyote-brown) of NaCOC specimens including one untreated and four treated specimens($Na_2CO_3$; NaOH; enzyme; boiling water) were examined in the study. The visual sensibility evaluation was conducted by the test-retest method using nine pairs of bipolar visual sensibility adjectives(bright-dark; clear-murky; heavy-light; vivid-subdued; warm-cool; fresh-stale; strong-weak; showy-plain; and luxurious-cheap). Results: As a result of reliability of a visual sensibility evaluation protocol, inter-rater variability(average SD=1.06) of visual sensibility evaluation was more than 1.4 times the intra-rater variability(average SD=0.74). However, both the sensibility evaluation reliabilities did not show any systematic pattern of changes. Lastly, ANOVA and post-hoc analysis showed that preferred scouring methods for a visual sensibility adjective pair significantly vary depending on NaCOC color. Application: Both the reliability of visual sensibility evaluation protocol and the analysis of proper scoring method of NaCOC in the study would be useful information to design the affective textile.

This paper describes study of design specifications of restaurant/cafe signboard for new generation. Signboard is an important element in restaurant/cafe, especially for sensitive new generation, that affects image of and first impression on it. The design elements of a signboard that were chosen for analysis were background color, lettering, and letter color, which were found to have strong influences on impression of signboard in questionnaire survey. Using different combination of these design elements, fifteen samples were created for subjective evaluation. 30 pairs of adjectives which were shown to be related to signboard significantly in the first evaluation were used by fifteen subjects, twelve men and three women. Subjective evaluations were carried out by semantic differential methods, and then analyzed by using multivariate analyses. Among three design elements, the background color affected impression of signboard most significantly. The relationships between design elements (item/category) and subjective impressions were suggested using quantification theory I, which could be used as design guidelines when designing restaurant/cafe signboard with specific human sensibility ergonomic characteristics.

A new device introducing brief pulses of odorozed air synchronized with subject's respiration to human subjects creating a positive response was developed. By the using superimposition technique of an evoked potential the positive responses to skatole in normal subject's were distinguishable. The odorant pulse trigger was the subject's respiration. Responses to aerosolized skatole consisted mainly of a positive wave with a peak latency of approximately 150 ms. In our cases, saturation of responses was found after 4-5 averagings with the responses becoming most clear after 7-8 averagings. And in cases of Alzheimer disease very quick adaptation was recognized.
