The Brain Communication system aims to contribute to solving social issues in a wide range of fields, including medicine, education, and industry, by fusing brain science and AI technology. For example, the Brain Communication system involves attaching a device to measure brainwaves and acquiring brainwave data. Technologies such as fMRI and EEG are used to measure brainwaves. fMRI is a method that observes changes in the blood volume of the brain, and EEG is a method that measures the electrical activity of the brain by attaching a brainwave measurement device. This makes it possible to understand the state of brain activity in detail. Next, the Brain Communication system analyzes the acquired brainwave data. The brainwave data is analyzed to calculate a time-frequency spectrum using methods such as Fourier transform, and changes in concentration and emotion are measured. In addition, by averaging multiple brainwaves, the brainwave response pattern can be analyzed, and it is possible to observe when a person felt discomfort and what they perceived as abnormal. Furthermore, the Brain Communication system inputs analyzed brainwave data into a generating AI, which then uses a generating AI to transcribe thoughts into text and DreamDiffusion to create images from mental images, thereby generating text and images. This makes it possible to visualize an individual's thoughts and emotions from brainwave data. For example, in the medical field, the Brain Communication system can optimize patients' brain function and improve their quality of life. For instance, by analyzing brainwave data, it can understand changes in a patient's concentration and emotions and propose appropriate treatment methods. In the education field, the Brain Communication system can analyze students' brainwave data and provide advice to improve learning effectiveness. Moreover, in the industrial field, the Brain Communication system can analyze employees' brainwave data and propose measures to improve productivity.In this way, the Brain Communication system, by utilizing brainwaves and AI generation, can optimize an individual's brain function, improve their quality of life, and contribute to increased productivity and the creation of new business opportunities for companies. Thus, the Brain Communication system can optimize an individual's brain function and improve their quality of life.
[0029] The Brain Communication system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The acquisition unit acquires electroencephalogram (EEG) data. The acquisition unit acquires EEG data using, for example, technologies such as fMRI or EEG. fMRI is a method for observing changes in blood volume in the brain, and EEG is a method for measuring the electrical activity of the brain by attaching an EEG measurement device. The acquisition unit can, for example, observe the activity of a specific region of the brain in detail using fMRI. EEG can, for example, measure real-time changes in EEG with high accuracy. The acquisition unit can also, for example, continuously acquire EEG data over a long period of time. The analysis unit analyzes the EEG data acquired by the acquisition unit. The analysis unit analyzes the EEG data using, for example, a method such as Fourier transform and calculates a time-frequency spectrum. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the frequency components of the EEG data in detail and measure changes in concentration and emotion. The analysis unit can also analyze the response pattern of the EEG by, for example, averaging multiple EEG readings. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the fluctuation patterns of electroencephalogram (EEG) data to observe when a person felt discomfort and what they perceived as abnormal. The generation unit generates text and images based on the EEG data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates text from EEG data using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a generation AI that takes EEG data as input and generates text. The generation unit generates images from EEG data using, for example, DreamDiffusion. DreamDiffusion is, for example, a generation AI that takes EEG data as input and generates images. The generation unit provides the user with the text and images generated from the EEG data. The provision unit provides the text and images generated by the generation unit. The provision unit displays the generated text and images to the user. The provision unit can utilize the generated text and images in fields such as medicine, education, and industry. The provision unit can provide the generated text and images to the user through digital devices.As a result, the Brain Communication system according to this embodiment can visualize an individual's thoughts and emotions by acquiring, analyzing, generating, and providing brainwave data.
[0030] The acquisition unit acquires electroencephalogram (EEG) data. The acquisition unit acquires EEG data using technologies such as fMRI and EEG. fMRI is a method for observing changes in blood volume in the brain, while EEG is a method for measuring the electrical activity of the brain by attaching an EEG measurement device. Specifically, fMRI can capture changes in blood flow within the brain with high resolution using a strong magnetic field and radio waves. This makes it possible to observe in detail how specific areas of the brain are active. On the other hand, EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain in real time with high precision by placing electrodes on the scalp. EEG has particularly high temporal resolution and can capture changes in EEG in milliseconds, making it suitable for observing instantaneous reactions and short-term changes. By combining these technologies, the acquisition unit can capture brain activity from multiple perspectives. For example, by using fMRI to observe the activity of specific areas of the brain in detail and simultaneously using EEG to measure real-time changes in EEG, more comprehensive data can be obtained. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can continuously acquire EEG data over long periods, allowing for the tracking of changes and trends in brain activity over time. For example, by monitoring brain responses in daily life and brain activity while performing specific tasks over a long period, it is possible to gain a detailed understanding of an individual's brain characteristics and patterns. This allows the acquisition unit to build a foundation for collecting EEG data from multiple perspectives and continuously, and providing it to the analysis and generation units.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the electroencephalogram (EEG) data acquired by the acquisition unit. The analysis unit analyzes the EEG data using methods such as Fourier transform and calculates a time-frequency spectrum. Specifically, by using the Fourier transform, the time-domain signals of the EEG data can be converted to the frequency domain, allowing for the analysis of the intensity of each frequency component. This enables detailed analysis of the frequency components of the EEG, making it possible to measure changes in concentration and emotion. For example, by observing changes in the intensity of specific frequency bands (alpha waves, beta waves, gamma waves, etc.), an individual's state of concentration and relaxation can be evaluated. The analysis unit can also reduce noise and more clearly analyze EEG response patterns by averaging multiple EEG readings. This allows for highly accurate capture of the brain's response to specific stimuli. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the fluctuation patterns of the EEG data to observe when a person felt discomfort and what they perceived as abnormal. For example, if a specific EEG pattern appears while performing a particular task, the meaning of that pattern can be analyzed to evaluate the individual's emotions and cognitive state. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit can generate data to provide to the generation unit, gaining a detailed understanding of the individual's brain activity state. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively analyze the acquired electroencephalogram (EEG) data and evaluate the individual's brain activity state in detail.
[0032] The generation unit generates text and images based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to generate text from EEG data. The generation AI, for example, takes EEG data as input and generates text. Specifically, the generation AI extracts features from the EEG data and generates natural language text based on them. For example, it can generate text that expresses thoughts and emotions at the time based on the concentration state and emotional changes obtained from the EEG data. The generation unit also uses DreamDiffusion to generate images from EEG data. DreamDiffusion is a generation AI that, for example, takes EEG data as input and generates images. Specifically, DreamDiffusion analyzes patterns in the EEG data and generates visual images based on them. For example, it can generate images that visually represent the mental landscape or image at the time based on emotional and thought patterns obtained from the EEG data. By using these generation AIs, the generation unit can generate diverse forms of content from EEG data. Furthermore, the generation unit is equipped with an interface for providing the generated text and images to the user, allowing the user to easily view the generated content. This allows the generation unit to represent the information obtained from electroencephalogram data in a concrete form and provide it to the user.
[0033] The provider unit provides the text and images generated by the generator unit. The provider unit, for example, displays the generated text and images to the user. Specifically, the provider unit displays the generated text and images on the screen of a digital device, making them intuitively understandable to the user. For example, it displays the generated text and images on the screen of a smartphone, tablet, or computer, allowing the user to view them. The provider unit can utilize the generated text and images in fields such as medicine, education, and industry. For example, in the medical field, information obtained from patient electroencephalogram (EEG) data can be used as a reference for diagnosis and treatment. In the education field, it can be used to understand students' concentration levels and emotional changes, improving learning effectiveness. In the industrial field, it can be used to monitor employees' stress levels and concentration, contributing to improved work efficiency and safety management. The provider unit can provide the generated text and images to users through digital devices. For example, it can allow users to access the generated content through smartphone apps or web applications.

The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58.

[0167] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0168] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0175] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0180] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing.

The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0181] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data).

[0182] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0183] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the acquisition unit acquires electroencephalogram (EEG) data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and collects the EEG data using the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the EEG data using methods such as Fourier transform. The generation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates text and images using generation AI and DreamDiffusion. The provision unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and displays the generated text and images to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0184] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0185] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0186] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0187] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0188] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0189] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0190] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0191] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0192] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0193] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0196] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0197] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0198] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0199] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used.
