Abstract

EEG to be measured on a scalp is estimated based on EEG measured from an ear canal. The program causes a processor included in an information processing apparatus to execute: acquiring first EEG information that is measured by a first bio-electrode that comes into contact with an ear canal of a predetermined user; acquiring second EEG information that is measured by a brain activity measuring instrument with respect to the predetermined user at the same timing as the first EEG information; learning a relationship between a first feature of the first EEG information and a second feature of the second EEG information; and generating a learning model that has learned the relationship.

Claims (44)

1 . An information processing method to be executed by a processor included in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring first EEG information that is measured by a first bio-electrode that comes into contact with an ear canal of a predetermined user;

acquiring second EEG information that is measured by a brain activity measuring instrument with respect to the predetermined user at the same timing as the first EEG information;

learning a relationship between a first feature of the first EEG information and a second feature of the second EEG information; and

generating a learning model that has learned the relationship.

2 . The information processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

estimating fourth EEG information corresponding to the second EEG information using third EEG information measured by the first bio-electrode and the learning model.

3 . The information processing method to claim 2 , further comprising

estimating brain activity information regarding the predetermined user, based on the fourth EEG information.

4 . The information processing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the learning includes setting the first EEG information to a predictor and the second EEG information to an objective variable, and performing Sparse modeling.

5 . The information processing method according to claim 4 ,

wherein the objective variable is represented by information of Na (number of measurement positions of the brain activity measuring instrument)×Da (dimension of specific frequencies), and the predictor is represented by information of Nb (number of measurement positions of the first bio-electrode)×Db (dimension of specific frequencies).

6 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a processor included in an information processing apparatus, cause the processor to perform the following:

acquiring first EEG information that is measured by a first bio-electrode that comes into contact with an ear canal of a predetermined user;

acquiring second EEG information that is measured by a brain activity measuring instrument with respect to the predetermined user at the same timing as the first EEG information;

learning a relationship between a first feature of the first EEG information and a second feature of the second EEG information; and

generating a learning model that has learned the relationship.

7 . An information processing apparatus including a processor,

the processor executing a program to perform the following:

acquiring first EEG information that is measured by a first bio-electrode that comes into contact with an ear canal of a predetermined user;

acquiring second EEG information that is measured by a brain activity measuring instrument with respect to the predetermined user at the same timing as the first EEG information;

learning a relationship between a first feature of the first EEG information and a second feature of the second EEG information; and

generating a learning model that has learned the relationship.

8 . The information processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

estimating other EEG information from the acquired EEG information by using the, learning model, the other EEG information corresponding to the second EEG information;

estimating brain activity information regarding the user, based on the other EEG information;

specifying a command, based on the brain activity information; and

executing processing corresponding to the command.

9 . The information method according to claim 8 ,

wherein the acquiring includes acquiring myoelectricity information based on information measured by the first bio-electrode, and

the specifying includes specifying the command, based further on the myoelectricity information.

10 . The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 6 , wherein the program further causes the processor to execute the following:

estimating other EEG information from the acquired EEG information by using the the other EEG information corresponding to the second EEG information;

estimating brain activity information regarding the user, based on the other EEG information;

specifying a command, based on the brain activity information; and

executing processing corresponding to the command.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

the processor further executing the following:

estimating other EEG information from the acquired EEG information by using the learning model, the other EEG information corresponding to the second EEG information;

estimating brain activity information regarding the user, based on the other EEG information;

specifying a command, based on the brain activity information; and

executing processing corresponding to the command.

12 . (canceled)
