Biography
Toshimitsu Musha right after he retired from Tokyo Institute of Technology, aiming at developing new EEG analysis technologies for non-invasively estimating signal processing in the brain. The first target was prevention of the sudden death coming from the mental overwork of workaholic people. Eventually he has reached a new technique of reading a dynamic change of our mind. This technique expresses the emotional state as an emotion vector in the 4-D rectangular coordinate system spanned by four orthogonal sates: stress, joy, depression, and relaxation. This technique has been named ESAM for Emotion Spectrum Analysis Method. This is now widely used in industries for measuring the degree of satisfaction of users of their new products and for objective evaluation of our living environments.
