Abstract
Emotion science is one of the rapidly expanding engineering/scientific disciplines which has a major impact on
human society. Such growing interests in emotion science and engineering owe the recent trend that various
academic fields are being merged. In this paper we review the recent techniques in the measuring the emotion
related elements and applications which include animal model system to investigate the neural network and
behaviour, artificial nose/neuronal chip for in-depth understanding of sensing the outer stimuli, metabolic controlling
using emotional stimulant such as sounds. In particular, microfabrication techniques made it possible to construct
nano/micron scale sensing parts/chips to accommodate the olfactory cells and neuron cells and gave us a new
opportunities to investigate the emotion precisely. Recent developments in the measurement techniques will be able
to help combine the social sciences and natural sciences, and consequently expand the scope of studies
