Conventionally the subjective assessment for measuring the human sensibility is always performed after an experiment or a stimulus is terminated. This aftermath method can not. exactly, reflect the human sensibility which is produced at the moment of the presentation of the stimulus. In the present study, a new real-time subjective assessment system is developed. The system is composed of two parts: the sensibility input part and the sensibility evaluation part. The sensibility input part gets the values, which are recorded on the input board using pen-mouse, from the evaluation of each subject on his/her own subjective sensibility for the stimulus. The sensibility evaluation part displays the level of the pleasantness and arousal on one and two dimension in real time. An experiment on the design of the input board that any subject can easily and exactly evaluates one's own sensibility is also included in this study. The system can be used for evaluating the human subjective sensibility in real time, and, also, can be applied to other subjective assessment tests that require real time evaluation.

Human sensibility is assessed by measuring and analyzing various physiological signals in an objective way, or by analyzing adjectives chosen by the subjects in a subjective way. The present study aims at developing an integrated human sensibility assessment system that measures changes in a person's objective and subjective sensibility in real-time and analyzes them in an integrative way. The present system is composed of a real-time subjective sensibility assessment system, an automatic subjective sensibility assessment system and a real-time physiological signal measurement and analysis system for sensibility assessment, which are separated from one another. It can be utilized individually, or can be combined as a synthetic sensibility assessment system for comprehensive sensibility assessment.

The present study the feasibility of the new subjective assessment devise; Real-Time Subjective Assessment Digitizer (RTSAD). The subjects were instructed to evaluate their sensibility during the presentation of the positive and the negative visual stimuli using RTSAD. After the presentation of each of the stimulus, a questionnaire was used for comparing the results with those from RTSAD. It was argued that the biggest utility of the RTSAD is the capability of measuring and figuring out the trends of the subjective assessment in real time. The results from the questionnaires unlike the results from RTSAD, reflects only the averaged human sensibility for the entire time of the presentation of the stimulus.

The purpose of this study was to approve the capability of human sensibility evaluation based on physiological responses and real-time subjective assessments. Three well-trained healthy human subjects were participated in the experiments. We measured physiological responses such as Heart Rate Variability(HRV), Galvanic Skin Response(GSR) and skin temperature under rest and visual stimulation conditions, respectively. Off-time subjective assessments were recorded before and after visual stimulations. Real-time subjective assessments were recorded during visual stimulations. The results of physiological responses and off-time and real-time subjective assessments were quantified and compared. The results showed that the correlation between physiological responses and real-time subjective assessments was high (83%) for both the positive and negative visual stimulation. The correlation between the physiological responses and off-time subjective assessments was high (83%) for the negative visual stimulation but was low (15%) for the positive visual stimulation. Although the current observation is preliminary and requires more careful experimental study, it appears that the correlation between real-time subjective assessment and physiological responses is higher than that of the off-time subjective assessment and physiological responses.

In the present study, a new Real Time Subjective Evaluation (RTSSE) system was developed. The system is composed of two parts: a sensibility input part and sensibility evaluation part. The sensibility input part receives values, which are recorded on an input board using a stylus and digital tablet, from each subject's evaluation of his/her own subjective sensibility towards a particular stimulus. The sensibility evaluation part displays the level of pleasantness and arousal on one or two dimensions in real time. An experiment was conducted in order to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the RTSSE system. The present study compared Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with the RTSSE by presenting 28 subjects in their 20s with pictures arousing either positive or negative sensibility. Following the experiment, an off-line subjective assessment using a questionnaire was given to the same subjects. According to the correlation coefficients, changes in subjective sensibility caused by the positive visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR, from the positive visual stimulus, and changes in subjective sensibility caused by the negative visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR from the negative visual stimulus. The questionnaire results showed marked similarity to the average responses of the RTSSE. In conclusion, the most remarkable characteristic of the present system is that it not only assesses the average sensibility when stimuli are presented, but also shows the changing strength of sensibility over time.

Sheet를 이용한 주관적 평가 방법은 자극제시 후 과거의 자극에 대한 감성을 상황을 기억하여 평가하는 것으로 자극제시 순간의 감성을 정확히 대변한다고는 보기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 디지타이저를 이용한 실시간 주관적 감성평가 시스템의 개발에 대하여 논의하였다. 본 시스템은 입력 부분, 감성평가 및 디스플레이 부분의 2부분으로 구성되어 있다. 입력 부분은 A4 size의 펜마우스 입력 방식을 가진 디지타이저를 이용하여 피험자가 직접 자신의 감성을 실시간으로 입력하게 하였고, 괘/불쾌, 긴장/이완의 2차원 감성 평가가 실시간으로 가능하도록 하였다. 감성평가 및 디스플레이부분은 1차원적인 감성 측정 결과와 2차원적인 감성 측정 결과를 모두 실시간으로 제시할 수 있도록 하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 피험자가 편하고 쉽게 자신의 감성을 표현할 수 있는 입력 board 선택에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 피험자가 자신의 감성을 정확히 인식하였다고 가정을 하고, 여러 가지 입력 board들을 피험자에게 제시했을 때 가장 빠르고 정확하게 자신의 감성을 표현할 수 있는 입력 board를 선택하였고 향후 감성 평가 연구에 적용하고자 한다.
