| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The prefrontal cortex is involved in the network of the perception-action cycle when we act in response to stimuli from environment. As a result of magnetoencephalographic analysis, when participants underwent a free choice task to choose attractive items among various kinds of commodities, during 0.5-1.5 seconds after picture presentation, the β - γ band high frequency signals increased in the left orbitofrontal cortex and subsequently in the anterior cingulate gyrus, supplementary motor area, and sensorimotor areas contralateral to the finger response. In the oddball paradigm comprising the same product images used in the free choice task, the response of the left orbitofrontal cortex was not found and only following activity was observed. Therefore, we suggest magnetoencephalogram makes it possible to visualize the feeling that we find certain product attractive or “cool” as the high-frequency activity of the left orbitofrontal cortex that precedes decision making of the choice.
