Abstract

In this paper, electroencephalographic (EEG) signal of one among subjects measured biosignal with visual evoked stimuli inducing the concentration was analyzed to detect the changes in the attention status during attention task fulfillment from January to February, 2011. The independent component analysis (ICA) was applied to EEG signals to isolate the attention related innate source signal within the brain and Electroculogram (EOG) artifact from measured EEG signals at the scalp. The consecutive accumulation of short time Fourier transformed (STFT) attention source signal with excluded EOG artifact can enhance the regular depiction of EPOCH graph and spectral color map representing time-varying pattern. The extracted attention indices associated with somatosensory rhythm (SMR: 12-15 Hz), and theta wave (4-7 Hz) increase marginally over time. Throughout experimental observation, the ICA with STFT can be used for the assessment of participants' status of attention.

본 연구에서는 작업수행시의 집중상태 변화를 검출하기 위하여 2011년 1~2월 동안 집중을 유발하는 시각유발자극에 대하여 생체신호를 측정한 피험자들 중 한명의 뇌파신호를 분석하였다. 두피에서 측정한 뇌파신호로부터 집중관련 뇌 안에서의 발원 신호와 안구운동잡음 신호를 분리하기 위하여 독립성분 분석기법을 측정뇌파 신호에 적용하였다. 안구운동잡음신호가 제거된 집중관련 신호원을 단시간 푸리에 변환하여 주파수 성분 신호를 연속적으로 축적함으로서 시변 특징 형태를 나타내는 에포크 그래프와 스펙트럴 칼라 맵에서의 도식 표현상 규칙성을 향상 시킬 수 있었다. 추출한 감각운동리듬 (SMR: 12-15Hz)과 세타파 리듬 (4-7Hz)관련 집중 지표는 집중시험시간이 경과함에 따라 증가 하였다. 실험을 통하여 단시간 푸리에 변환과 결합한 독립성분 분석기법은 참여자의 집중상태 변화를 분석하는데 사용 할 수 있을 것이다.
