Outline of Final Research Achievements

From the expression situation of the electroencephalographic alpha wave and beta wave when I paid my attention to the hardness of the aspect of the sidewalk and the softness in this study, and adult man and woman walked the different walk side of the hardness, I observed a change of the brain activity every generation and checked hardness of the sidewalk which let you activate the brain of the elderly person. The experiment problem decided to walk by random choice on a floor of two kinds of sponges different in the thickness, Styrofoam and vinyl chloride. And a walk side of a thick sponge influenced brain activity and I was older than 60 years old and knew that there was the most influence. From these results, it was suggested that the sidewalk having a tender mask might let you activate the brain of the elderly person than the sidewalk which had a hard mask.
