N2 - The purpose of this study is to quantitatively consider the effects of radiations of different ranges of wavelength on thermal sensation using numerical simulations. We developed a new mathematical model to predict the psychosensory intensity of radiation with different wavelengths through thermoreceptor activities. Our model quantitatively showed that the wavelength dependence of the skin thermal sensitivity at every 0.1 μm interval in the range of 0.3-20.0 μm, which was determined by the optical properties of the skin and location of the thermoreceptors, and explained the results of previous subject-based experiments in terms of the physiological mechanisms. This study would be useful for the development of materials that can selectively reflect and absorb radiation in a certain range of wavelength, and heaters that provide efficient heating with low energy consumption.
