The latent value of food has an impact on customers’ feeling to purchase and eat food. Our previous study revealed that the curry roux for home use induces an empathetic bond between people. A recent study investigated eating behaviors, and the author explains that a gathering movement may reduce uneasiness when eating together. We investigated an effect of stirring and gathering movements of curry through paired experiments (N=14) in two different eating styles: with and without the movements. Comfort was measured by electrocardiogram and Curve Drawing Method. Spoon synchronization was also measured as an indicator of empathy. The results showed that participants had a higher HF, a lower LF/HF ratio, larger surface areas of curve drawings, and a higher rate of spoon synchronization when eating with the movements compared to without the movements. These results indicate that the movements when eating curry together induce comfort and empathy.

In this paper, we propose an interactive support system for generating picture books. The proposed system consists of two parts: a sentence generation part and a picture book image generation part. The sentence generation part takes a topic and an opening sentence of a picture book as inputs, and generates sentences of the picture book in an interactive manner. The user can select the most appropriate sentence from the generated sentences to create a story for the picture book, and can modify specific parts of the sentences. The image generation part generates a background image of the picture book using the text as an input, and acquires the necessary image objects for the picture book from the web. Using the retrieved images, the user can paste the image objects into the background image to create a picture book image. With these two parts, a picture book can be created without the user having to directly write the text and pictures. Through evaluation experiments, we confirmed that the proposed system can generate a picture book that is comfortable as a story and that can arouse the reader’s interest.

In this paper, we propose an automatic font generation algorithm which can accurately represent Kansei of the input image. Provided an arbitrary image, a corresponding font is generated according to the emotion information included in the image. The proposed method consists of two stages: learning stage and generation stage. In the first stage, the learning unit learns multiple fonts by using the image generation model “zi2zi” (meaning characters to characters), which is based on the GAN principle. In the generation stage, the score of the emotion information is obtained using “Emotion API” for the analysis of the image, then an inference is made by using the weights of the Generator model obtained by the learning, and the font is generated finally. Evaluation experiments via web questionnaires show that the fonts generated by the proposed algorithm correctly reflect emotions, demonstrating the effectiveness of our algorithm.

We have been developing a cognitive assessment system based on an electroencephalography-based brain-machine interface (EEG-based BMI) that uses event-related potentials (ERPs) as a virtual “EEG switch.” ERP reflects a temporal change in attention and is also known as a potential biomarker for assessing cognitive functions for older people even with motor decline. We recorded EEG data from 26 healthy adult subjects (18-79 years old) who performed the target-selection task with the EEG switch and compared the result with that of a standard neuropsychological test, the “Trail Making Test” (TMT). We found a correlation between them, and the result showed that this system has the potential for early detection of cognitive decline in order people.

“Kawaii” is a sensibility peculiar in Japan, but widely used in the world nowadays. In this report, the kawaii degree of twelve aroma oils and the concentration dependence were evaluated by sensory evaluation. Mostly, higher kawaii evaluation appeared at lower concentration, but at higher concentration in fruits fragrances. On the other hand, high correlation (R = 0.796) between kawaii and preference was observed. However, their factors were different. For high “kawaii”, the impression terms of “feminine” and “infant” were derived. In high “preference”, “favorable impression” and “friendly” were derived. Incidentally, there was no gender difference for recognition of “kawaii”. By classifying subjects with similar recognition of “kawaii”, groups mixed with male and female were formed.

Nigirikawa is a leather tape attached to Japanese bow in Kyudo. It assists the “Teuchi” (the method of gripping bow), which is to twist the bow counterclockwise to make the arrow fly straight. Kyudo players select the materials of the Nigirikawa for ease of use from subjective impression. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of grip strength in drawing the bow as an objective evaluation index. We attached four pressure sensors to the grip of the bow to measure the pressure during shooting and compared the four types of Nigirikawa (deer, shark, cow, and sheep). The results showed that the differences of gripping force depending on the ease of use of the Nigirikawa in two movements of “Daisan” and “Kai”. Therefore, we concluded that gripping force is effective as an objective evaluation index of Nigirikawa.

Hairstyles are important for many women in visual attractiveness. However, it is difficult to objectively judge by themselves which hairstyle suits for them. Previous study has reported that circular-based complexity of psychological potential field (PPF), which can be calculated on digital images, indicates goodness of impressions for facial shapes. In this paper, we apply some complexities of PPF, including the previous complexity, to facial images to investigate whether good hairstyles for facial impressions can be quantified. Here, with constraining several facial components, subjective evaluation and objective evaluation have been compared by correlation analysis. Subjective evaluation adopts a paired comparison method, and objective evaluation adopts several shape analyses of PPF produced from each facial image. The results show a necessity to evaluate PPF with the gender separated. Moreover, some three-dimensional complexities of PPF indicated a certain effectiveness to assess good impression for hairstyles.

In many cricket species, male crickets sing a specific song to call female crickets, and Japanese people have felt their songs tasteful and one of the seasonal scenes. This study investigated the relation between the songs and human mind and considered how people feel the songs. Three different species, Homoeogryllus japonicus, Teleogryllus emma and Oecanthus indicus, were used for this study, and the specific songs were statistically analyzed. When fluctuation pattern of the songs were analyzed, a 1/f mode was often seen at the range of low frequency regions of power-spectrum, suggesting that the songs are pleasant. Then, the impressions of the songs were investigated with SD-method, and the results of factor analysis showed that the songs gave pleasantness to people. Especially, people felt comfortableness to the sound and rhythm of H. japonicus and T. emma song. We finally conclude that these songs remember people some natural scene and gives a pleasantness.

When performing sensory evaluation, it is necessary to consider not only using a lot of time and cost but also human factors such as stress of subjects. This study focused on solution viscoelasticity and peel force. In order to link above properties with sensory values, we performed sensory evaluation for subjects to various samples with different properties. The obtained sensory values were averaged to exclude influences of individual differences, and the correlation between the obtained sensory values and measured properties was investigated. As the results, high correlation was obtained between sensory properties about “moist”, “refresh”, “smooth”, and “sticky”. Also, high correlation was obtained between sensory properties about “sticky” and “skin familiarity” and the maximum value of peel force measured during 50 cycles of measurements. Therefore, when evaluating skin feeling of skin toner, it may be possible to substitute skin feelings to the evaluation of solution viscoelasticity and maximum peel force.

This study focuses on the automation of a clothes pattern design. With two sorts of semi-fit jackets we manufactured five suits of every designs, changing the amount of waist darts distribution. To illustrate this, we performed sensory evaluation using the fixation photograph of a jacket with three-dimensional measurement of the manufactured jacket and a body. We have the following results by examining the result of evaluation by the difference in the amount of darts distribution, and the relation of a silhouette and cross-sectional shape was considered here. The quality of jacket silhouette that had a few amounts of front darts distribution, and had a lot in behind, as like the same tendency with waist darts in an adhesion cloths pattern to a human body, gains the support of a lot of people. As a result of quantifying the room that is generous between the body in said division grade, and a jacket as vacant space distance and a vacant space area, the darts distribution brings about the change of silhouette.Mal-distribution of front and behind vacant space distance which appeared in a sectional view in WL. Made the relationship between a pattern and the amount of organic functions clear. These outcomes say that we could get a clue to create a cross-sectional drawing that is necessary for a cloths pattern design, from the three-dimensional measurement data of human body directly.

This paper reports on the results of a literature review and text-mining analysis conducted to understand how the kawaii emotion had been expressed in Japanese. The Japanese term kawaii can be translated to English as lovable, cute, pretty, and sweet comprehensively. In Japanese, the kawaii emotion had long been expressed using different words, many of which have multiple other meanings. In addition, some words that had been used to express the kawaii emotion took on new meanings. The words that had been exclusively used to refer to the kawaii emotion are megushi, utsukushi, rotashi, kahayushi, and shiorashi. In modern Japanese, nuances such as ‘sweet’ and ‘pitiful’ were removed from the concept of kawaii whereas others such as ‘smiling’ were added.

Utility lines are sometime criticized as a prime factor in the unsightly visual impression of Japanese landscapes. This research investigates a cognitive bias leading the landscapes to seem to be wirescapes. Participants evaluated two kinds of landscape pictures: one with electronic lines and another where the lines were digitally eliminated. When evaluated side by side, participants showed clear preference for one picture over the other, typically strong preferences for wire-free landscapes, although when evaluated separately, they showed no preference. The findings suggest that people, at least Japanese people living in Japan, are insensitive to utility lines in their vision and that those who are exposed to wirescapes tend to form a similar impression to those who exposed to wire-free landscapes in a typical real-life situation, where a comparison isn’t readily available.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the usage and comfort levels of wearing sectional pressure socks, and sectional pressure pantyhose through psycho-physiological responses. Experiment samples are socks of sectional pressure, normal socks, pantyhose of sectional pressure and normal pantyhose. The subjects were 20 female university students. Each sample was measured over the same period of time, one day, and checked using electrocardiogram measurement to determine psychological comfort and a questionnaire to determine physiological comfort. From results of electrocardiogram measurement, normal socks decreased psychological comfort more than socks of sectional pressure over time. Moreover, the difference in the psychological comfort between in pantyhose, normal pantyhose or pantyhose of sectional pressure could not be discerned by the questionnaire. From the results of the questionnaire, both socks and normal socks increased knots and discomfort as time passed, but socks of sectional pressure brought down knots and remained at a comfortable level. In pantyhose, pantyhose of sectional pressure felt more comfortable than normal pantyhose for all regions of the leg. However, as comparing thigh to ankle and calf, pantyhose of sectional pressure of comfortable sensation value exhibited discomfort, and physiological comfort showed no significant difference between pantyhose of sectional pressure and normal pantyhose after 6 hours. Therefore, we assumed that comfortable sensation for pressure of clothes was impaired, comparing thigh to ankle and calf. Consequently, we conclude that psycho-physiological comfort for pantyhose of sectional pressure was influenced by pressure of clothes on the thigh.

The effects of package color on taste impression by appearance of plastic bottled green tea were studied. In Experiment 1, participants rated the taste impressions (sweetness, astringency, mellowness, refreshment, umami, strength, flavor, quaffableness, liking) by appearance of plastic bottled green tea with nine color packages (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, and white). It was showed that the ratings varied with color for all these taste impressions. In Experiment 2, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) procedure was used to investigate how participants evaluated their preference for colors. Three kinds of taste impressions (sweetness, strength, and quaffableness) were designed as evaluation items in AHP. The results revealed that green color made a favorable impression on all evaluation items. Cluster analysis was then applied to assess potential individual difference of the preference for taste impressions. It was shown that evaluation pattern could be classified mainly into three types (high scores on sweetness, strength, or quaffableness, respectively), and that there may be differences of the preference for colors among different types of the preference for taste impressions.

A lot of enterprises are requesting the production system for which it appeals to the sensibility now. Therefore, all people's eyes are focused on the key word of “Customer Experience”. However, the experience model is not enough in the point of practical application. A concrete explanation of the idea how the enterprise should create customer experience value is insufficient. In this study, we thought “Customer Experience” to be “Entertainment value”. And, the Johnny's theatrical agency that was the enterprise of excellent was taken up as an object of study. We consider the creation of “Entertainment value” by using the case with kansei value that the TV performer of Johnny's creates.

The generation of attractive sentences for consumers is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate title sentences that are more popular on YouTube, which is gaining large popularity in recent years. In the proposed method, the automatic generation of titles is regarded as a sentence style transfer task; The title sentence generated by the video creator is transformed into a more attractive one. Specifically, first, the latent variable is obtained by the back translation method. In the back translation method, it translates the original title into another language and retranslates it into Japanese. Then, style transfer is performed based on this latent variable to generate a more attractive title sentence. In addition, transfer learning is employed to address the problem of scarce training data. Subjective evaluation experiments have been conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
