Development of human sensory sensor and application to massaging chairs

Through this research, we have developed a "human sensory sensor" that takes real-time measurements of peripheral skin temperature, pulse, and galvanic skin response (GSR) - information that changes depending on human sensations - and analyzes this information to estimate the sensations being experienced. We have confirmed that by using these sensors, it is possible to estimate the sensations experienced by an individual during a massage. Furthermore, we have developed a massage control in accordance with the user\´s sensations as estimated by these sensors, and have confirmed the effectiveness of this method.
