1/fn fluctuating phenomena in the hue of lignt emission pattern of firefly and its healing effect

Abstract

The fantastic light of firefly, which keeps fascinating the heart of Japanese from ancient time, and the ecosystem are taken up as one of cure fields being benefit from the nature. In this study, from a viewpoint of Kansei engineering, we focused on the hue of light emission pattern of firefly, and we examined whether it causes the human spirit any effects or not by using various statistical analysis and Kansei analysis. It was revealed that there is a high possibility that the sufficient cure effect exists in the hue of light emission pattern of firefly and the ecosystem. This research is the first basic trial turned to the creation of cure spaces for hospice and welfare facility, which utilize the firefly and the mini ecosystem artificially modeled in an enclosure.
