Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring an activity of autonomic nerve, comprising: a sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit; a parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit; a memory unit; and an evaluation unit. According to the present invention the sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit measures an activity of the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit measures an activity of the parasympathetic nerve antagonistically functioning with the sympathetic nerve. The memory unit stores reference data acting as the criterion for comparing with relation between psychosomatic conditions based on the activity of the sympathetic nerve and the activity of the parasympathetic nerve. The evaluation unit compares measurement data representing the activity of the sympathetic nerve measured by said sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit and the activity of the parasympathetic nerve measured by said parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit with said reference data stored in said memory unit for evaluating the relation between psychosomatic conditions.
