Claim One:
1. An individual-characteristic prediction system comprising: a brain image acquiring section adapted to acquire brain images obtained by scanning a brain of a subject whose individual-characteristics are to be detected; a three-dimensional information converting section adapted to obtain three-dimensional information of a cerebrum based on the brain images acquired by the brain image acquiring section; a characteristic value detecting section adapted to detect a plurality of kinds of characteristic values of each part of the cerebrum based on the three-dimensional information of the cerebrum obtained by the three-dimensional information converting section; a storage section adapted to store information about correlation between the characteristic values of each part of the cerebrum and abilities or qualities; an individual-characteristic predicting section adapted to compare the plurality of kinds of characteristic values detected by the characteristic value detecting section with characteristic values stored in the storage section, search out stored information having characteristic values similar to the plurality of kinds of characteristic values detected by the characteristic value detecting section, and predict the abilities or qualities of the subject based on information about the abilities or qualities of a brain having the searched out characteristic values; and an output section adapted to output information that exhibits the abilities or qualities of the subject predicted by the individual-characteristic predicting section, wherein the information about the correlation between the characteristic values of each part of the cerebrum and abilities or qualities stored in the storage section is information about a prediction model obtained by combining characteristic values of a plurality of parts, wherein the individual-characteristic predicting section is a section that compares the characteristic values of a plurality of parts of the cerebrum detected by the characteristic value detecting section with the prediction model stored in the storage section to predict the abilities or qualities of the subject, wherein one of the plurality of kinds of characteristic values detected by the characteristic value detecting section is characteristic values of each part of cerebral cortex obtained by converting the three-dimensional information of the cerebral cortex obtained by the three-dimensional information converting section based on the brain image into a spatial coordinate system of a standard brain, and detecting three-dimensional information of the cerebral cortex of the converted spatial coordinate system of the standard brain, and wherein another one of the plurality of kinds of characteristic values detected by the characteristic value detecting section is characteristic values obtained by quantifying the anatomy under the cerebral cortex based on the three-dimensional information of the cerebrum.
