| Research Abstract |
We supposed that face and facial color are related to various emotions, since there are many expressions of language using face. Then we tested the hypothesis that facial skin blood flow shows specific response to emotion. Subjects watched videos evoking happiness, sadness, fear, astonishing and fear, then we measured facial skin blood flow. No specific response was obtained in skin blood flow in forehead, nose, cheek and lips. The results may suggested a difficulty judging one's emotion from facial skin blood flow responses as yet. It should be necessary to use stronger stimulus evoking a change in emotion, if we can.
