Sensory Engineering Model in Search of Emotion-Specific Physiology -An Introduction and Proposal

정서특정적 생리의 탐색을 모색하는 감성공학의 패러다임과 실천방법

Emotion-Specific Physiology may still remain to bean elusive entity even to many of the proponents and seekers, but an ever-growing body of experimental evidence sheds much brighter prospects for the future researches in that direction. Once such Emotion-Physiology pairs are identified, there exist a high hope that some Sense-Friendly Features that are causally related, or highly correlated, to each pair may be identifiable in the nature or man-made objects. On the premise that certain emotions, if and when engendered by a consumer good, may be conducive to an urge “to own or to identify oneself with the product”, presented here is a model of Sensory Engineering that is oriented objectively towards identifying the Emotion-Specific Physiology in order to have the Sense-Friendly Features reproduced in product designs. Relevant and complementary concepts and some suggested procedures in implementing the proposed model are offered.
