About Natsume Research Institute

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.

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.
