Outline of Final Research Achievements

We previously reported unique skin blood flow (SkBF) responses in the face to emotions related to taste. Then we supposed that poor and good motor imaginary reflect to facial SkBF response. We examined whether motor imaginary of volleyball serves are related to facial SkBF responses to underhand- and floater- serve, comparing 1st-person with 3rd-person perspective of the imaginary. The subjective evaluation for the control of motor imagery is high, SkBF in the eyelid showed greater. The results suggests that high controllability of motor imagery related to an increase the SkBF responses in the eyelid. To extract skillful and disadvantaged scenes in sports performance based on facial SkBF responses, we need to examine whether similar SkBF responses can be obtained in other sports events, and the increase response in the nose become conspicuous according to the skill of sports, in future studies.
