There is provided a method including, acquiring brain function data and diffusion tensor data (S10), calculating a connection degree between voxels adjacent to each other based on the diffusion tensor data (S30), constituting a data evaluation value based on the brain function data and the connection degree between the adjacent voxels (S40), subjecting the data evaluation value to nonparametric regression analysis (S50), and forming and displaying images based on results of the analysis (S60, S70).
