The information understanding in communication is supposed to be concerned with the emotion. The purpose of this study is to estimate the information understanding through the nasal skin thermogram which reflects the human emotion. The local fractal dimension analysis was applied to the nasal skin thermogram. Based on the relationship among the local fractal dimension and the subjective understanding measured in English listening tests, the information understanding has been estimated by the linear multiple regression. As a result, the estimated understanding has been obviously classified in two groups according to the difficulty of the test. Additionally, we have shown that the local fractal dimension of the nasal skin thermogram is the individual independent factor for the infomation understanding estimation.
