We have developed an application for cognitive function training in order to cope with the increased number of dementia patients and the shortage of care workers in an aging society. This application generates an image in which a person’s facial image is transformed into a puzzle where the aim is to reconstruct the face. The puzzle is presented as a problem of person estimation to activate brain functions. In this study, we conduct two brain activity sensing experiments using electroencephalograms to evaluate the effect of the facial image reconstruction puzzle on cognitive function. The experiments suggest that the image reconstruction puzzle may affect the frontal lobe.
