Consideration of Relationship between Human Preference and Pulse Wave Derived from Brain Activity

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the relationship between human preference and brain activity, especially pulse wave information using NIRS. First of all, we extracted the information of on pulse wave from the Hb changes signal of NIRS. By using the FFT to the Hb signals, we found out the 2-nd peak of power spectrum that is implying the frequency information of the pulse wave. The frequency deviation of 2-nd peak may have some information about the change of brain activity, it is associated with the human preference for viewing the significant image content.
