The facial skin temperature can be measured without contact using an infrared camera regardless of room temperature conditions. Moreover, because it varies with autonomic nervous activity that accompanies arousal of the senses, it serves as an effective physiological quantity for evaluating human senses.This report examines the thermal sensation and evaluates it using the facial skin temperature without influence by stress or the change in seasons. In the experiments that were carried out under various types of stress with various types of ambient temperatures in winter and summer, no change due to seasons was found. Consequently, data for both winter and summer were combined and correlation coefficients between the thermal sensation and facial skin temperatures for various parts were determined. In the experiments, the correlation coefficients decreased in the order of cheek, chin, forehead, nose and ear. Even the lowest value of r=0.752 for the ear is still high. In addition, the thermal sensation is estimated by a multiple regression formula using the stepwise method. The partial regression coefficient for the nose excluding the forehead became negative (multiple correlation coefficient R=0.897). Accordingly, the relation between the thermal sensation and the forehead skin temperature can be predicted by the skin temperatures of the other facial parts, and a rise in the thermal sensation accompanying stress can be described by a drop in the skin temperature of the nose.Furthermore, it is suggested that this multiple regression formula is applicable even for different amounts of clothing. The compensation is necessary for changes in the activity level and continuous variations in the ambient temperature.

This paper describes the development of a sensor incorporating an algorithm that estimates the quality of comfortableness by measuring peripheral skin temperature, pulse, and galvanic skin response (GSR) that reflect autonomic nervous system activity. A correct answer rate of 83% was obtained between the subjective comfortableness and the estimated comfortableness by the developed sensor. For the application of this human feeling sensor, we used it to estimate the comfortableness of subjects receiving massages, then developed two alternative adaptive massage control procedures based on the sensor's estimate, and verified the effectiveness of the results through testing the subjects. We observed that in course A (dynamic comfortableness) the peripheral skin temperature dropped and the GSR and pulse rate increased, while in course B (static comfortableness) the peripheral skin temperature rose and the GSR and pulse rate dropped. By the end of the control sequence, there was a statistically significant difference in the amounts of change in both the peripheral skin temperature and the GSR between the two sequences (<i>p</i> < 0.05). To examine the effects of each course more closely, we mapped the trajectories of physiological change during the control sequences of each course at twentysecond intervals, and the results correlated closely with the subjective assessments. These results suggest that bio-control adapted to comfortableness is feasible.
