Abstract
A wavelet conversion means ( ) for subjecting brain wave data in a single trial to wavelet conversion, a wavelet coefficient window means ( ) for extracting a predetermined area by a wavelet coefficient window from a wavelet coefficient surface obtained by the wavelet conversion, and a brain wave data discriminating means ( ) for discriminating brain wave data by judging whether or not the predetermined area is extracted are provided to automate the work to extract distinguishing patterns from individual (in a single trial) brain wave data and to obtain averaging of the brain wave data. By considering whole of wavelet conversion coefficients, averaging and extraction of a vertex latency of distinguishing patterns can be executed without significantly losing the information of original waveform data.
