Abstract

In a brain activity measuring apparatus, the reflected light from the brain surface is conducted by way of an objective lens and focusing lens and split into two beams by a beam splitter. The light beams are conducted through respective band-pass filters having different transmission wavelengths, and received by CCD cameras in which images are formed from the filtered light beams. The CCD cameras produce signals of the images, and a differential amplifier subtracts one image signal from the other thereby to remove a background noise component. The apparatus is free from noises caused by mechanical vibration, and the resulting differential signal exhibits the brain activity accurately.
