我们建立了一个红外热成像系统，用于检测恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）情绪相关的温度变化。我们连续测量了四只恒河猴在面对一个潜在的“威胁”人时，一个穿着实验室外套的人，带着一个捕捉网，进入实验室，接近猴子。还在"刺激期“出现之前和之后测量温度。鼻区的温度在10-30秒内显著下降，并在整个刺激期间持续下降。在此期间，猴子经常表现出沉默的裸齿脸，瞪大嘴巴的脸，和嘴唇咂，所有这些都是负面情绪的表达。假设猴子在看到潜在的威胁刺激时会经历负面情绪，我们得出结论，鼻皮肤温度的降低与情绪状态的改变有关。目前的研究结果表明，鼻温可以作为非人灵长类动物情绪状态从中性到消极变化的可靠和准确的指标。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
We established an infrared thermographic system for the detection of emotion-related temperature changes in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). We continuously measured temperatures of various facial regions of four rhesus monkeys during the presentation of a potentially 'threatening' person, i.e., a person in a laboratory coat with a catching net, who entered the experimental room and approached the monkeys. The temperatures were also measured before and after the presentation of the 'stimulation period.' The temperature of the nasal region decreased significantly within 10-30 s, and continued to decrease throughout the stimulation period. During this period, the monkeys frequently expressed silent bared-teeth face, staring open-mouth face, and lip-smacking, all of which were expressions of a negative emotion. Assuming that the monkeys experience the negative emotion when viewing the potentially threatening stimulus, we conclude that the decrease in nasal skin temperature is relevant to the alteration of the emotional state. The present findings suggest that nasal temperature can be a reliable and accurate indicator of a change from neutral to negative in emotional state of non-human primates. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
