| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Important characteristics of Japanese beauty can be considered as the reduction of stimulus information by extracting essence of affective properties and simple presentation of them. In this research, we defined such affective experience of trueness induced by the reduction approach as the 'sense of verisimilitude.’The inverse effectiveness is known as the principle that the degree of inter-modal interaction increases with weaker stimulation to each modality. We have found by various experiments that perceptual completion, awareness of emergent properties, and beauty of incompleteness can be augmented under the weaker and simpler stimulation than real world levels. We proposed a conceptual model based on psychophysical and brain scientific findings for explaining a possible mechanism producing the sense of verisimilitude underlying the characteristics of Japanese beauty.
