Recently, in the field of brain science, it has been reported that brain network related to fear sympathetic nervous activity was clarified by fMRI measurement. However, fMRI measurement under daily circumstances is difficult. If it is possible to detect fear with electroencephalograph in daily circumstances, objective fear indicators will be determined and used to control fear in the entertainment field and to reduce fear in medical services and so on. In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of electroencephalogram data during fear and no fear by using frequency analysis from two experiments using VR horror game and experiments using horror movie with a dry electrode. As a result, there was significant difference in power spectral density between alpha wave fear and no fear.
