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 tactile stimulus presentation device includes a stage, a contact member, a drive mechanism, an information setting part, and a control part. The stage includes an opening and an arrangement surface, the arrangement surface on which a body part of a subject is arranged thereon so as to close the opening. The contact member is for giving a tactile stimulus to the subject by being in contact with the body part of the subject arranged on the arrangement surface of the stage through the opening. The drive mechanism is a mechanism for holding the contact member and moving the contact member in a direction substantially parallel to the arrangement surface and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement surface. The information setting part is configured to set information to be presented by gibing tactile stimulation to the subject by tactile stimulation.

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: A cognitive function determination method includes applying a load including a sensory stimulus (5a) or tasks with different degrees of difficulty a plurality of times (S1), measuring a change in brain activity of a subject (P) when the load is applied and acquiring measurement data (S2), and determining a degree of cognitive function of the subject (P) (S3).

Abstract: A method for indexing cognitive function includes giving, to a subject, a work for inducing biological activity related to cognitive function, acquiring measurement data, and acquiring an index indicating the cognitive function of the subject from the measurement data of the subject using a model constructed in advance.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to carry out typing for multiple SNP sites automatically from the stage of sample preparation. A mixture of sample (2) and PCR reaction solution (4) is subjected to PCR reaction according to a given temperature cycle. After the completion of PCR reaction, invader reagent (6) is added thereto. Subsequently, the reaction mixture having the invader reagent (6) added thereto is added to probe fixing part (8) of typing reaction zone to thereby effect reaction therebetween. Invader probes capable of emitting fluorescence in respective correspondence to multiple SNP sites are separately held on individual sites of the probe fixing part (8), so that the reaction mixture reacts with the invader probes and when SNPs corresponding to the invader probes exist, fluorescence is emitted.
