Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I proposed the development of a low-cost concentration support system based on the principle of EEG self-control by biofeedback. At the beginning of the study, the amplitude and control accuracy of gamma and alpha wave bands were compared. The results showed that subjects who were highly motivated to improve their concentration had a higher training effect, with a significant difference (Kruskal Wallis test, P<0.01). In the final year of the project, we focused on research to increase subjects' motivation. In 2022, we conducted research on the effects of smartphones and found that smartphone operation inhibited thinking and concentration, regardless of performance (presented at the 46th Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society in August 2023).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来の高額な医療用脳波計を用いなくとも、バイオフィードバックにより有効な脳波コントロールトレーニングが可能になることが分かった。これにより、小規模な施設や家庭でも脳波コントロールによる集中力向上や衝動性抑制のトレーニングの実施が可能となる。しかしながら、トレーニングの効果は被験者の意欲に大きく依存することが分かった。先行研究における難治性てんかん患者の脳波コントロール成績が良好であったのは、治療への意欲が高かったためと考える。一般のADHD患者、特に小児においては必ずしもトレーニングに意欲的に取り組むとは限らないため、負担なく意欲を向上させる手法を考える必要がある。
