Objective †

In this project, we analyze the "tender care" and finds the essential skill elements by using computational and cognitive neuroscientific approaches. Namely, we use

• wearable and ambient sensing in computational approach, and
• the brain imaging and facial electromyography in cognitive neurosceince.

On top of these findings, we develop a system that helps learners of the care skill to acquire the tender care skills through quantifying their behaviors.
