Abstract
A behavior modification device includes processing circuitry configured to: acquire sensing information of a sensor to observe a monitoring area; identify behavior of an organism to be threatened present in the monitoring area on a basis of the acquired sensing information; determine a parameter of a stimulus to be given to the organism on a basis of the identified behavior; and generate stimulus data for generating the stimulus on a basis of the determined parameter and output the stimulus data to an actuator for generating a stimulus.
