Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the design process from the viewpoint of brain activity and aimed to contribute to the understanding of creative activity which is the function of active KANSEI. Experiments using Finke 's creativity test suggested that near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could observe the effects of differences in tools and constraints on design activities on cerebral blood flow. In addition, in this research, when measuring the cerebral blood flow during design activities, we were able to obtain a certain degree of response to solve the problem of noise elimination contained in body motion and pulsation. However, since we could not reach the examination of subdivided design processes such as divergence and convergence of ideas, inspiration, we will make them future issues.
