A new system for measuring permittivity changes on palms by using noncontact poles is proposed. In previous work, the equivalent circuit of a palm was simulated by a simple CR circuit quite well. Changes of the mental and physical conditions of the human body were found to be determined by changes of C and R element values. In this work, the palms are considered to be a dielectric, and the relative permittivity on them is determined by putting the palms between parallel-copper-poles. As a result, the mental and physical conditions strongly affect the relative permittivity on palms. Therefore it is possible to detect state changes of mental and physical conditions using the proposed system.
