*3.5.3 The mode of smelling "Zuko" incense rubbing into the hands and putting the hands together*

The detailed responses of our MEG experiments of the above results in the mode of smelling "Zuko" incense rubbing into the hands and putting the hands together were shown in **Figures 8**–**10** in Section 3.1.2.3 and **Table 2** in Section 3.3 with almost all the subject's data. From these clinical and objective MEG measurements and analysis, we obtained the distinct olfactory active areas clearly such as the OFC frontal regions and left inner frontal region F5 (language area) and occipital regions V1 (visual area) for a mirror neuron activity in the brain, nevertheless habit (A-

As the same larger changing, in the case of no habituation of putting the hands the subject B2 showed the larger change to the left visual V1 area from right outer temporal area, the subject B5 the change to the left frontal gyrus F5 area (language area) from inner frontal area. These results are considerable to suggest that subject B2 and B5 may be activated especially at the visual V1 area and the left F5 language area, respectively,

These larger change results on the brain active areas show that smelling "Zuko," rubbing into the hands, and putting the hands together activate specific brain areas

From **Figure 15**, we can find that smelling "Zuko" incense activates a few special areas, for example, orbitofrontal cortex, left inner frontal gyrus (F5 language area),

The larger active effects for smelling "Zuko" incense rubbing into the hands and putting the hands were obtained more than the previous smelling incense odor activity with putting the hands from the results of summaries in **Figure 15** in Section 3.4.

5.Alpha-amylase value was almost all shown as a characteristic index of stress which was more increasing up after smelling "Zuko" incense than before smelling regardless of male/female and habit/no habit with putting the hands

From these results of measuring alpha-amylase value in saliva, it can be considered that something stress on smelling "Zuko" incense was usually given to the

The meaning of smelling "Zuko" rubbing into the hands with putting the hands

In habits of daily life, the brain of A-group peoples after smelling "Zuko" incense rubbing into the hands and putting their hands together or praying was activated at the orbitofrontal area, inner lobe of the frontal area, anterior and posterior areas in the temporal cortex, left visual area V1 in occipital cortex, and others. The brain of B-group individuals who did not has the habit of smelling incense odor or putting

**4.4 Smelling "Zuko" incense and putting the hands together showed larger changes than smelling incense odor with putting the hands together**

We already have the results of the previous MEG experiments for smelling incense odor with putting the hands together as shown in our paper published in IntechOpen [23]. From these results of previous MEG experiments, it was obtained that smelling incense odor with putting the hands activates few specific brain areas. On the other hand, in these MEG experiments, it was obtained that the results of smelling "Zuko" incense into the hands and putting the hands promote to excite few

From the results of **Tables 1** and **2**, we can find out that subject B5 obtained in orbitofrontal cortex OFC, subject A5, and B4 obtained in inner frontal area, subject A3, A4, and B2 obtained in occipital cortex V1 as an estimation active area in the brain clearly show almost all larger value ofα-amylase after smelling "Zuko" and putting the hands and MEG experiments before these experiments. These results are considered to show something stress by smelling "Zuko" incense and putting the hands for the response of subject A3, A4, B2, B3, B4, and B5 which showed large

From the comparison with these two experimental results and analysis, we can obtain that smelling "Zuko" incense and putting the hands together showed clearly larger changes than smelling incense odor with putting the hands together. We can

**Figure 15** shows that one subject's brain was activated at the F5 language area in the left inner frontal cortex. The brain for two of three subjects was activated at the right inner frontal cortex regardless of whether they have a habit of putting their hands together in their daily life or not. On the other hand, the brain for three subjects smelling "Zuko" incense with and without putting their hands together was also activated at the left calcarine sulci of the V1 visual area in the occipital cortex [36–39]. This result means the subject had a something sense of visual imaging by
