Abstract
One aspect of the present invention is a force measurement method including a first acquisition step in which, among data included in time course data indicating a movement trajectory of cargo acquired in a non-invasive manner, first data indicating a temporal change of a position of the cargo during a period in which the displacement of the cargo per unit time is substantially constant is acquired, a fluctuation value calculation step in which, based on a first probability distribution indicating a distribution of a probability that the amount of change at a predetermined position of the cargo per unit time is a predetermined amount, which is a probability distribution based on the first data, a fluctuation value proportional to a force applied to the cargo by motor proteins that transport the cargo is calculated, and a force calculation step in which the force is calculated based on the calculated fluctuation value.
