A mobile body control device includes a brain activity detecting unit for detecting information about the brain activity of the user, a brain signal separating unit for separating the artifact component from the detected information about the brain activity, a control signal generating unit for staggering by predetermined periods the sampling periods during which the brain data is extracted from the information about the brain activity excluding the artifact component while overlapping the sampling periods with each other, calculating a feature value of the brain data detected during the staggered sampling periods, and generating a control signal according to the calculated feature value, and a driving/controlling unit for driving/controlling the mobile body in/on which the user rides according to the generated control signal.
