This study is study regarding system implementation that a ruler maximizing an autoimmunity effect supported it as I stimulate I am visual hearing so that treatment ability is possible. As I am known in a lot of conspiracy mental problems by being disproportionate for a direct reason to be connected to an action, the brain whom emotional, govern spirits through fragrance to stimulate sense of smell so that, specially, an ARoMa treatment is effective. I will inquire into changes and an influence around alpha of the rear wave object before watching this system.

인간의 뇌와 같이 다양한 정보들을 구분하고 처리하며 기억할 수 있는 능력을 지닌 시스템은 현재 지능 기법이 적용되고 있는 제어, 통신, 인터넷 응용 기술, 경영 분야, 분석 및 예측 등의 분야에 응용될 수 있으며 그 성능을 효과적으로 향상시킬 것이다. 이러한 다양한 분야에 활용될 수 있는 통합 모델을 제시하고 점차 발전시켜나감으로써 미래에 기대되는 다양한 인간형 시스템, 친환경적 시스템, 인간보조 시스템 등의 공학적 시스템 측면과 인간을 대신할 수 있으면서 인간과 유사한 능력을 지닌 학습 시스템, 추론 시스템, 판단 시스템 등의 지능형 시스템 측면에서 활용 가능한 모델로 성장시켜 나갈 수 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 생물학적인 두뇌의 정보처리 메커니즘을 해석하고 공학적인 개념의 정립과 정보처리 흐름을 규명하고 정의함으로써 출력에 반영할 수 있는 모듈을 설계하고 최종적으로, 뇌 정보처리 메커니즘에 기반한 레이어를 설계하여 범용으로 사용될 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 설명되는 레이어 구조는 공학적인 분야는 물론 생물학적 뇌 연구에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose : To generate a Korean specific brain template, especially in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by optimizing the voxel-based analysis. Materials and Methods : Three-dimensional T1-weighted images were obtained from 123 subjects who were 43 cognitively normal subjects and patients with 44 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 36 AD. The template and the corresponding aprior maps were created by using the matched pairs approach with considering differences of age, gender and differential diagnosis (DDX). We measured several characteristics in both our and the MNI templates, including in the ventricle size. Also, the fractions of gray matter and white matter voxels normalized by the total intracranial were evaluated. Results : The high resolution template and the corresponding aprior maps of gray matter, white matter (WM) and CSF were created with the voxel-size of $1{\times}1{\times}1\;mm$. Mean distance measures and the ventricle sizes differed between two templates. Our brain template had less gray matter and white matter areas than the MNI template. There were volume differences more in gray matter than in white matter. Conclusion : Gray matter and/or white matter integrity studies in populations of Korean elderly and patients with AD are needed to investigate with this template.

자폐 스펙트럼 장애는 이질적인 신경 발달 장애로, 뇌기능영상에 기반한 기능적 연결성 행렬을 이용해 연구가 활발하게 진행된다. 기능적 연결성 행렬을 분석하기 위해 주성분 분석방법을 이용하며, 이를 통해 뇌의 기능적 경향성 패턴을 확인할 수 있다. 이 때, 서로 다른 연결성 성분 비율과 주성분 벡터를 이용해서 다양한 기능적 경향성 패턴을 얻을 수 있다. 패턴에 따른 랜덤 포레스트 분류 모델의 성능이 달라지는데 이를 비교해본 결과, 상위 50%의 성분을 이용하여 만든 기능적 경향성 패턴 1 이 데이터의 설명 비율도 높고, 우수한 분류 성능을 보이는 것을 확인했다.

This study examined the influence of a Mindfulness Based Compassion Meditation Program on the brain activation and stress of elderly women who experienced loss of spouse using 2 channel EEG (Electroencephalography). The total number of subjects was 60, consisting of elderly women aged from 65~75years of in Y county; 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group who were checked by EEG before and after the study. The study was conducted from August to November, 2015. The Mindfulness Based Compassion Meditation Program was designed for the convergence of body and mind integration with compassion meditation for the purpose of developing love, sympathy, and compassion. The treatment was conducted once a week, for 60 minutes at a time, over a period of 16 weeks. The results in the experimental group showed an increase in the Activity Quotient (ATQ) Rt(82.51/85.83, p<.013) and AntiStress Quotient (ASQ) Lt (74.711/71.17, p<.050). The Activity Quotient shows the mental function and behavior tendency in the brain, while the AntiStress Quotient shows the state of physical and mental relaxation. The Mindfulness Based Compassion Meditation Program was shown to influence the brain activation and stress of the elderly women using the practical application of neuroscience.

Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) is the brain protecting system blocking the inflow of harmful substances into brain parenchyma from brain blood vessel. However, the BBB has a negative effect on the treatment of various brain diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia or brain tumors because it also prevents drug delivery into brain parenchyma. To overcome this problem, a brain drug delivery technique using Focused Ultrasound (FUS) which allows BBB to be temporarily opened by inducing the acoustic cavitation effect of microbubbles has been developed. Thus far, various studies using the FUS technique has been conducted to improve drug delivery efficiency, and therefore, this paper discusses recently developed drug delivery technologies using the FUS-induced BBB opening.

Purpose : To investigate the correlations between Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery (SNSB) scores and the gray matter volumes (GMV) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cognitively normal (CN) elderly subjects with correcting the genotypes. Materials and Methods: Total 75 subjects were enrolled with 25 subjects for each group. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon genotypes, SNSB scores, and the 3D T1-weighted images were obtained from all subjects. Correlations between SNSB scores and GMV were investigated with the multiple regression method for each subject group using both voxel-based and region-of-interest-based analyses with covariates of age, gender, and the genotype. Results: In the AD group, Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT) delayed recall scores were positively correlated with GMV. In the MCI group, Seoul Verbal Learning Test (SVLT) scores were positively correlated with GMV. In the CN group, GMV negatively correlated with Boston Naming Test (K-BNT) scores and Mini-Mental State Examimation (K-MMSE) scores, but positively correlated with RCFT scores. Conclusion: When we used covariates of age, gender, and the genotype, we found statistically significant correlations between some SNSB scores and GMV at some brain regions. It may be necessary to further investigate a longitudinal study to understand the correlation.

In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method detecting the P300 wave for brain-machine interface. Electrophysiological researches have shown that the P300 wave's potential is decreased when human intention matches visual stimulation. Motivated by this fact, we can infer human intention for brain-machine interface by detecting the P300 wave's potential decrease. The P300 wave is recorded from EEG(electroencephalogram) electrodes attached on human brain skull after giving alphabetical stimulation. To detect the potential decrease in P300, firstly we statistically model the P300 wave's negative potential. Then we infer human intention based on maximum likelihood estimation. The proposed method was evaluated on the data recorded from three healthy human subjects. The method achieved an averaging accuracy of 98% from subject k, 90% from subject j and 79.8% from subject h.

In this study, we compared and analyzed the performance of each Convolution Neural Network (CNN) by implementing the CNN that reflected the characteristics of the cerebral structure, in order to analyze the CNN that was used for the prediction of cybersickness, and provided the performance varying depending on characteristics of the brain. Dizziness has many causes, but the most severe symptoms are considered attributable to vestibular dysfunction associated with the brain. Brain waves serve as indicators showing the state of brain activities, and tend to exhibit differences depending on external stimulation and cerebral activities. Changes in brain waves being caused by external stimuli and cerebral activities have been proved by many studies and experiments, including the thesis of Martijn E. Wokke, Tony Ro, published in 2019. Based on such correlation, we analyzed brain wave data collected from dizziness-inducing environments and implemented the dizziness predictive artificial neural network reflecting characteristics of the cerebral structure. The results of this study are expected to provide a basis for achieving optimal performance of the CNN used in the prediction of dizziness, and for predicting and preventing the occurrence of dizziness under various virtual reality (VR) environments.
