The invention provides a biological photometric device characterized by a method of disposing a light source and a light detector, capable of measuring a distribution of concentrations at different depths and changes in the concentration in the case of measuring and forming an image of the concentration of metabolites in an organ and changes in the concentration. The light sources and light detectors are disposed on the subject so that, in the case of measuring a concentration of metabolites in an organ and changes in the concentration in a shallow portion in the subject by using an about midpoint position between each of the light sources and each of the light detectors as a sampling point, measurement is performed by using a sampling point of a pair of the light source and said light detector which are disposed at a small interval. In the case of measurement in a deep portion in the subject, a sampling point of a pair of the light source and the light detector which are disposed at a large interval is used.

The present invention is capable of separating/removing the influence of skin blood flow contained in near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signals and extracting a brain- or brain cortex-origin signal. Moreover, the present invention enables versatile separation of brain-origin and skin-origin signals in view of differences among individuals. A biological photometric device, wherein light transmitters and light receivers are located in such a manner that measurement can be conducted at a plurality of source-detector (SD) distances and light received by the individual light-receivers can pass through the gray matter to thereby separate a brain-origin signal and a skin-origin signal. Individual component analysis (ICA) is conducted on data obtained at the individual measurement points. Then, it is determined whether each individual component originates in the brain or in the skin with the use of the SD distance-dependency of the weighted value of each of the separated components.
