Abstract

We review several physiological measurements for evaluation of human-environment systems, and discuss several relatively simple and useful methods focusing on those for evaluation of the autonomic and central nervous system. The methods used to evaluate the autonomic nervous system include blood pressure, electrodermal activity and electrogastrogram. In order to evaluate the central nervous system, we selected electroencephalogram, event-related potential and evoked potential. We demonstrate the examples of the studies which were conducted to evaluate the light environment, sound environment and mental work by using these parameters.
