An electronic device includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder is configured to estimate an unknown value on the basis of first biological information including a line of sight of a subject extracted from an image of the subject, subject's attribute information representing an attribute of the subject, and subject's internal state information representing an internal state of the subject. The decoder is configured to estimate second biological information including the line of sight of the subject on the basis of the unknown value, the subject's attribute information, and the subject's internal state information. The electronic device adjusts parameters of the encoder and the decoder on the basis of reproducibility of the first biological information from the second biological information.

A method of identifying a spatial distribution of areas includes: a first step of determining a rough spatial distribution of at least one area in a sensory area of cerebral cortex in each of a left hemisphere and right hemisphere of the brain that is a target area of the identification; a second step of applying a sensory stimulus to the identification target area; a third step of obtaining brain activity information; and a fourth step of using the brain activity information to calculate one of a coefficient of cross-correlation, and coherence, between brain activity information of areas, assessing synchrony between the left and right hemispheres, and changing the spatial distribution determined in the first step.

A video control apparatus includes a video presenting unit configured to present a video to a viewer, a brain activity measuring unit configured to measure a brain activity of the viewer, a feature amount estimating unit configured to estimate a feature amount related to a direction and an amount of motion of a video perceived by the viewer based on data acquired by the brain activity measuring unit, and a video control unit configured to control a video to be displayed by the video presenting unit based on the feature amount.

Video control apparatus and video control method

A system or method for counting the number of layers of a multilayer object is adapted for counting the number of layers by means of a simple arrangement of emitting an electromagnetic wave to strike the object that is in a multilayer state. In the system or method, an electromagnetic wave is caused to strike at least either the top surface or the bottom surface of a multilayer object and electromagnetic waves generated by reflection of the incident electromagnetic wave at the respective interfaces of the layers of the multilayer object or an electromagnetic wave generated by transmission of the electromagnetic wave through the multilayer object.
