In one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes: processing circuitry configured to: set a first pulse sequence and a second pulse sequence, wherein, in the first pulse sequence, a first gradient pulse is applied between two adjacent refocusing pulses, and, in the second pulse sequence, a second gradient pulse being different in pulse shape from the first gradient pulse is applied between two adjacent refocusing pulses, wherein: the scanner is configured to acquire first signals and second signals; and the processing circuitry is configured to generate at least one first image and at least one second image; and calculate a T2 value of a body fluid of the object from the at least one first image and the at least one second image in such a manner that influence of movement including diffusion of the body fluid is removed.

MRI apparatus

A medical information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: obtain first nerve activity information indicating an activity of a nerve of a subject; estimate first feeling information indicating a feeling experienced by the subject on the basis of the first nerve activity information; and determine presentation information to enable an evaluator to experience the feeling of the subject, on the basis of the first feeling information.
