| Title | Evaluation method for work engagement improvement foods through biosignal analysis | ||
| Detail | Today’s office workers increasingly demand food products that foster "work engagement"—a state of being relaxed, yet mentally sharp and focused. In this presentation, we will explain the brain mechanisms that maintain alertness while boosting alpha waves and suppressing excessive excitement (noise). Furthermore, we will introduce methodologies to accurately measure and evaluate these mental states using biological signal analysis. | ||

| Title | The Hottest Topic Right Now: Women's Menopause Trials! Expert Tips on Avoiding Common Pitfalls Before Implementation | ||
| Detail | Planning a clinical trial in the menopausal health domain? Menopause studies present unique challenges, such as over-reliance on total SMI (Simplified Menopause Index) scores and high placebo response rates. In this session, we will explain how to implement proper subject screening and study design by accounting for daily symptom fluctuations and the prevalence of physical, psychological, and vasomotor symptoms. Discover actionable expertise to ensure the success of your product development. | ||

| Title | Multimodal analysis of EEG × heart rate variability reveals the ”true experience” of food | ||
| Detail | "No significant difference compared to placebo in subjective evaluations..." This common hurdle occurs because mild product effects get buried under the noise of mood and placebo effects. In this presentation, we explain "multimodal analysis," which simultaneously measures both the central nervous system (such as alpha waves) and the peripheral nervous system (heart rate variability). We will introduce evaluation technologies that objectively capture biological responses and visualize the "true subjective experience" delivered by functional foods. | ||
