Abstract: When reading a novel by EKUNI Kaori, reader's world in the brain has been clarified by means of the discrete wavelet analysis. According to the analysis, reader's world in the brain has been classified into two layers. One is the world in the book and the other is the existing real world. Major target of this paper is to visualize the transition states between two layers. As a result of our analysis, it has been revealed that the wavelet multi-resolution analysis has made it possible to visualize the transition states as well as to clarify the composing methodology of the novel.
