Hitachi has contributed to the invention and technical innovation of non-invasive devices for imaging brain function that work by ultra-sensitive measurement of light, magnetic fields, and other properties. As the world is at the forefront of the trend toward aging societies, the maintenance of brain health is an important social issue for it, and techniques such as optical topography and simplified magneto-encephalography that support the diagnosis of brain function are being developed. These products and services also need to provide benefits in the area of preventive medicine, and brain function measurement and other human science techniques are likely to be incorporated into research and development of products and services. These human-oriented technologies promise to create a society that is safe, secure, and convenient.
