| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to verify the adaptation of the method to children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities(PIMD), focusing on the fact that skin temperatures of the nose and forehead area using a contact-type temperature sensor and a non-contact thermal imaging camera can be used to measure a person's emotional response.
In order to validate the adaptation to children with PIMD, it is necessary to demonstrate that the skin temperature of a normal person can be used to measure human emotional responses. Therefore, an experiment was conducted using a constant-temperature, constant-humidity room (2m x 3m) . The results showed that the correlation coefficients of the temperature difference between the nasal and forehead areas for each of the contact-type temperature sensors and the non-contact thermal camera for eight subjects ranged from 0.25 to 0.91. These results suggest that non-contact temperature measurement can be used to understand emotional responses.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
唾液中のアミラーゼ測定や心拍変動の解析といった特別な機器や解析ソフト等を使用することなく、皮膚温の測定という簡易な方法で 重症児者の情動反応を明らかにできることに学術的、社会的意義があると考える。また、環境測定に適した実験室で接触型のセンサーと非接触型サーモグラフィを用いて皮膚温を測定することで、エビデンスとなる正確なデータが蓄積される。
