Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of physiologically adaptive ambient control system. This system control the ambient stimuli, such as music, lighting, aroma, physical posture, etc., in accordance with human physiological state. As for the results of the experiment, the heart beat synchronized music made the subject’s high frequency component of the heart rate variability higher than that in the exposure of a music with constant rhythm. Posture control system which makes subject’s recumbent posture change slightly with synchronizing his/her own respiration made his/her breathing deeper and longer.
