In the previous study, it was suggested that listening to music could be an effective study break. Since we often image music in our daily life, we would like to investigate brain activity at listening and imagining music. Brain activities in three types of music (uplifting song, relaxing song, classical music) under both conditions of listening to the music (direct stimuli) and imagining the music were determined from 10-channel wearable optical topography. As a result, It was suggested that there is no difference in the degree of relaxation at listening and imagining music that is usually listened to. Also, being able to accurately imagining music may be an important factor in the relaxation effect.
