A body activity measurement device is provided with a light irradiation
unit that irradiates near infrared light of a specified wavelength on a
specified measurement site of a brain of a subject; a light detector that
detects the intensity of the light exiting from the measurement site; a
light absorbance data generator that from the time sequence changes of
the intensity of the exiting light generates light absorbance time
sequence data suggesting the changes in the concentration of oxyHb,
deoxyHb and totalHb; and multiple baseline correction units that correct
baselines that mutually differ in relation to the light absorbance time
sequence data obtained when the subject performs specified assignments;
and configured such that the baseline correction of the light absorbance
time sequence data can be conducted using the baseline correction units
corresponding to the assignment performed by the subject.
