Abstract: This brain activity feature amount extraction method includes acquiring a combination of a plurality of data items in order of higher effectiveness for discriminating whether a subject is a healthy person or a non-healthy person, among the plurality of data items, on the basis of the index value serving as the index indicating effectiveness or non-effectiveness for discriminating the group of healthy persons and the group of non-healthy persons from each other, and displaying the acquired combination of the plurality of data items in order of higher effectiveness.

Abstract: A probe unit (30) of this optical measurement device (100) includes a base member (31) rotatable about a central axis (80), a light-transmitting probe (32) and a light-receiving probe (33) protruding in a first direction from the base member, and a plurality of pin members (34) for parting hairs, the plurality of pin members protruding in the first direction from the base member. The plurality of pin members is inclined obliquely at least either in a direction toward a central axis side of the base member or in a circumferential direction about the central axis of the base member.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dispensing samples or reagents onto a target object are provided. A dispensing position designating section (62) designates the dispensing position on the target object (50), such as a membrane, based on an image of the target object (50) displayed on a monitoring section (60). A dispensing control section (64) positions the target object and the dispensing device relative to each other so that the designated dispensing position on the target object is placed beneath the dispensing device (10) and controls the dispensing operation of the dispensing device (10). A dispensing position information creating section (68) creates dispensing position information about the dispensing position on the target object (50) which is designated by the dispensing position designating section (62) and to which the dispensing operation has been performed and outputs it to the outside.
