Abstract

The present inventions relates to a design evaluation method, equipment thereof, and a goods design method that make it possible to obtain a highly reliable evaluation of a design quality of an evaluated object. Thus, in the present invention, the design of an evaluated object is evaluated on the basis of a brain wave reaction by outputting an image, which expresses the design of the evaluated object, by image output means, and measuring brain waves of an arbitrary test subject by showing this image to the test subject. Hence, it is possible to obtain a highly reliable evaluation result without any subjective judgment based on the knowledge and experience of the test subject.
