| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We realize the richness of the real world through 'Shitsukan' perception, namely, perception of materials and surface qualities of objects. Shitsukan provides information which is vital in daily life. However, little is known about what features in sensory stimuli are used for Shitsukan perception. Our group aimed to understand the mechanisms of Shitsukan and to advance information technologies about Shitsukan by multi-disciplinary interaction across researchers of engineering science, psychophysics and brain science. Many researches have been conducted and technologies for measuring and analyzing Shitsukan information has been developed. Psychophysical studies have revealed cues related to various kinds of Shitsukan perception such as gloss, translucency, viscosity of liquid and freshness of foods. In addition, studies in brain science have made significance advancement on our understanding on neural mechanisms to discriminate surface gloss and materials of objects.
