Frequency Analysis of Pupil Diameter Variation for Estimation of Trait Anxiety

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The trait anxiety is examined by the questionnaire method. However, this method has problem that subjects can intentionally distort the answer. Thus, it is required to use physiological responses as the objective indicator. The pupil diameter controlled by the autonomic nerve system can be measured noninvasively. In this paper, we focus on the pupil diameter variation to estimate the trait anxiety. In the experiment, the anxiety stimulus images were presented to subjects, and we investigated the relationship between the autonomic nerve indicator derived from the pupil diameter variation and trait anxiety score. From the experimental results, the LF/HF calculated from the pupil diameter variation significantly increased with the trait anxiety score. On the other hand, HF and HF/(LF+HF) significantly decreased with the trait anxiety score. Therefore, the experimental results suggested that the trait anxiety can be estimated by the pupil diameter variation during the anxiety stimulus presentation. In addition, the optimum frequency band in LF of the pupil diameter variation for the anxiety estimation shifts to high-frequency side than that of the heart rate variability.
