  • Publication number: 20220152384
    Abstract: A biometric measurement system capable of measuring an immediate response of a living body to the intervention of a physical stimulus to the living body is provided. A biometric measurement system (210) capable of applying electrical muscle stimulation to a living body comprises: an electrode for bioelectrical impedance measurement (217a-217d) for measuring a bioelectrical impedance of a living body; and an electrode for electrical muscle stimulation (217e, 217f) for applying electrical muscle stimulation to the living body, wherein the electrode for bioelectrical impedance measurement (217a-217d) and the electrode for electrical muscle stimulation (217e, 217f) are arranged to contact the living body simultaneously.
