Abstract(in English) It is important to know how we recognize others’ emotions and how we express our emotions for developing a sophisticated human machine interface. In this research, we focused on the pupil response and investigated how pupil size changes by the emotional state and how we recognize the emotional state of others by observing the dynamic changes in pupil size. The result showed that the average size of pupil was larger when the level of arousal was high and that the variance in pupillary response was larger when the level of arousal was low. When recognizing emotional state of others, some specific patterns of dynamic changes in pupil size could affect the estimation of arousal and valence, although, they were not necessarily consistent with the actual emotional state of others.
