A Method for Canines to Concentrate Presented Stimuli by Seamlessly Switching between Real-time and Recorded Video Using Automatic Curtain Manipulation

Abstract

We aim to elucidate canine super-sensing, which is the ability to notice changes in human emotion. If we can elucidate canine super-sensing, we believe that it can be applied to various fields as a new sensing principle. For the purpose of elucidation, we have fabricated a device that presents stimuli to multiple canine senses. However, with the previously proposed method, the canine could not concentrate on the presented information due to the discomfort of the visual stimuli, and the canine did not concentrate on the presented stimuli for 30 seconds. In this paper, we describe how we improved the method of presenting visual information and automated the apparatus to shorten the experimental time.
