Outline of Final Research Achievements

Sensibility information process of “comfortable” environment for music listening was investigated in terms of computational model of implicit memory and interaction between visual and auditory senses. For example the influence that lighting had on the atmosphere of an indoor room was examined from the relation to the interior design of the room. The room used in this experiment was called a “healing space," which had proven to have a healing effect in previous research. The change in the impression and the likes and dislikes concerning this room as both a healing and ordinary space were examined by using two types of lightening: healing lighting and ordinary lighting.
The results were that 1) the change in the impression from the lighting didn't change the atmosphere formed by the interior design, and 2) the good impression of the room improved when the healing lighting was used.
