Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Carnitine is widely used as one of the additives to supplements. In the clinical field, carnitine is sometimes prescribed for treatment for narcolepsy and to relieve depressive mood of major depressive disorder. In the other hand, effects and mechanisms of carnitine on human have not been well clarified yet. In this report, effect of carnitine ingestion on brain activiety is evaluated by using of EEG. According to our experiments, increase of EEG of $\alpha$ and $\beta_1$ band was observed. Although the number of cases is not enough, the result implies that carnitine ingestion has sort of influence on brain activities.
