The 8th Super Interdisciplinary Conference] Does Contact with Nature and Sound Help to Relieve Stress and Increase Productivity in Humans? Creating "Comfortable Spaces" Based on Evidence / March 8, 2019, 14:40~@Shinjuku

Riverness will sponsor the event.The 8th Main Meeting of the Association of Hyperdifferent Fields(March 8-9, 2019 (Friday and Saturday)), a panel discussion on "Creating 'Comfortable Spaces' through Contact with Nature and Sound" (session partner: Kansai Electric Power Co.

In recent years, an increasing number of companies have taken steps to alleviate stress, improve productivity, etc., as part of their "work style reform" efforts. Among them, major overseas technology companies such as amazon and Apple are applying the "biophilia hypothesis," which states that humans instinctively seek nature, to the design of their office spaces as biophilic design. Interest in biophilia is growing rapidly, as many people have had the refreshing experience of immersing themselves in nature. Other typical influencing factors on people are sound. There are many known examples of its influence on people's cognitive function and emotional state.
On the other hand, these experiences are sensory, and it is important to accumulate scientific evidence in the future. Not only conventional psychological tests and physiological analysis, but also multifaceted verification incorporating newly developed measurement techniques and other methods, as well as quantitative evaluation of their effects, should clarify the relationship between nature, sound, and people. In this session, we will explore the possibilities and discuss the creation of "comfortable spaces.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
Audience members are invited to attend the conference. Please visit the conference website (see below).
