Estimation Method of Trait Anxiety by Frequency Analysis of Pupil Diameter Variation

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the trait anxiety examination, it is required to use physiological responses as objective indicators, instead of the conventional questionnaire method. The previous study indicates that the high frequency component of heart rate variability (HF) would be used as the objective indicator of the trait anxiety estimation because the heart rate is influenced by the activity of autonomic nervous system. However, ECG measurement is required to put electrodes on a body of a subject. On the other hand, the pupil diameter variation would be used for trait anxiety estimation because the pupillary movement which can be measured noninvasively is controlled by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
In this paper, we develop the experimental system and preliminarily investigate the relationship between the pupil diameter variation and trait anxiety. In the experiment, the 30 anxiety stimulus images are sequentially presented to subjects at the intervals of 1.5 seconds. The dynamic images of their eyes are captured for measuring the pupil diameter. The LF/HF and HF/(LF+HF) are obtained by the frequency analysis of pupil diameter variation. From experimental results, LF/HF for the subject with high-trait anxiety is larger than that for the subject with low-trait anxiety. On the other hand, HF/(LF+HF) for the subject with low-trait anxiety is larger than that for the subject with high-trait anxiety.
