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