At Natsume Research Institute, we are conducting basic research on cutting-edge pupil response analysis technology. By analyzing the movement of the pupil and quantifying emotions (unconscious human reactions) that have not been available until now, we are able to utilize this technology as objective data in a variety of fields.
The possibilities of our pupil response analysis technology are expanding from medical care to education, living environment, crime prevention and entertainment.
What can we do with pupil response analysis technology?
We're doing research every day.
What is the purpose of our pupil reaction analysis technology? We continue to conduct practical research and explore the possibilities of this technology on a daily basis.
The eyes are the windows to the mind. With pupil response analysis technology.
You will see what you couldn't see.
The eyes are the windows to the mind. This is a universal perception. The response of the pupils cannot be controlled by human will. In other words, a person's true emotions are expressed in the eyes.
Pupil response analysis technology is a groundbreaking method for deriving objective emotional data that eliminates ambiguity and instability in subjects' self-reports by analyzing and quantifying pupil responses using a scientific approach. At Natsume Research Institute, our goal is to realize a society where people around the world can live in good health, safety, and peace of mind through this technology.
The response of the pupil is controlled at the same innate instinctual level as the heart and lungs.
◉ Any race.
◉ Not able to control by oneself.
◉ Not able to lie.
◉ It is the most primitive biological response of an animal.
→ Pupils cannot lie, regardless of race, gender or age.

The advantages of Natsume Research Institute's pupil reaction analysis technology
It was proven by Eckhard Hess in 1965 that the pupil enlarges in response to interest. However, until recently, there was no way to accurately and rapidly measure and analyze the changes in pupil size.
This has been made possible by advances in pupil diameter measurement technology using high-resolution camera photography and computer analysis technology. Combining this with proprietary technology developed by Natsume Research Institute, we are providing more accurate and versatile pupil response analysis technology.
1
The system eliminates dark and light responses and the effects of biological reactions such as pulse and respiration, and can extract only the responses based on interest. (Patent No. 6651536)
2
It has the criteria necessary to judge the results of pupil diameter change and can objectively assess the level of interest and concern.
3
As it is not necessary to fix the subject's head and body in the same way as watching TV, the burden on the subject is light and the measurement can be performed in a state similar to everyday life.
