Abstract
In recent years, music therapy has been performed with the aim at recovering the cognitive function of elderly people. In the previously reported system, it was necessary to input the subjective evaluation of the user to determine the next recommended song. In this study, variations in fingertip skin temperature were used as input instead of subjective evaluation, focusing on evaluation of emotion expressed as physiological response through variations in fingertip skin temperature. Our system can be used with no support for users.
