Yoshitaka Konno, Takashi Uesugi, Yoshikawa Nobuyo, Bunkyo University, Japan
Authors examined the effects of positive mind-body experiences through Dohsa-method on EEG
pleasantness and nostalgic affects in undergraduate students. This study consisted of two
experiments. Experiment I examined a correlation between the EEG pleasantness and the positive
mind-body experiences. Experiments II explored the facilitating effect of positive mind-body
experiences on nostalgic affects elicited by sound stimuli. Results indicated that positive
mind-body experiences could enhance the EEG pleasantness, and facilitate nostalgic affects
elicited. These results suggest the possibility of developing a new version of Life Review,
Dohsa-method based Life Review technique for elderly people.

The present experiment examined 40 subjects for relationship between mood condition and the
character of fragrance of body soaps. We measured the period-fluctuation rhythm of alpha wave
during 102.4s under sniffing 8 kinds of fragrances of soaps. The results suggested that citrus note
induced arousal feeling, fruity or lavender note did pleasant feeling and floral or powdery note did
calmed feeling, respectively. We also found that green note had an effect for heeling and a
combination of citrus and fruity note induced refreshed feeling.
