This study has been made to research on the brain wave characteristics of baduk expert by BCI(Brain Computer Interface). The test was based on the researches from 1th September, 2005 to 30th December, 2005, compared with the ones of the standardized general public. The number of the general public are 695 (elementary school students 423, middle and high school students 161, adults 111) and the number of the baduk players are 57 (researchstudents 15, Korean baduk club students 16, professional baduk players 26). The research data show that the baduk players have the higher indexes than the general public in Self Regulation quotient p=.002, Attention Quotient(left) p=.002, Emotion Quotient p=.027, Stress Quotient(left) p=.002 and Brain Quotient p=.006. There are some differences in brain functions between baduk players and the ordinary people. Difference in functions of the brain among baduk experts is also analyzed. That result shows that there is no different brain function between professional baduk player.

본 논문의 목적은 음주섭취로 인한 혈중 알코올 농도에 따른 뇌의 활동도변화를 측정, 분석하는데 있다. 1차원 시계열데이터인 EEG신호는 생체 비선형 동역학 시스템으로부터 발생하는 Deterministic Nonlinear Chaos신호로써 무작위적인 신호와는 구분되어질 수 있다. EEG시계열데이터를 위상공간에 적절한 어트랙터로 재구성하여 상관차원 최대발산지수 등의 카오스 지수들을 추출하여보면 EEG시계열데이터가 무작위적인 계에서 발생하는 랜덤한 신호가 아닌 카오스계에서 기인함을 알 수 있고, 인간의 정신상태에 따른 뇌의 활동도를 정성적, 정량적으로 판별해 볼 수 있다. 이러한 카오스 분석방법을 토대로 음주전의 뇌의 활동도와 음주후 혈중알코올 농도에 따른 뇌의 활동도변화를 EEG의 카오스 지수들의 변화를 통해 분석해 보았다.

Cancer patients have been suffered from the instability of mind/body and unbalanced homeostasis because of cancer progression and medical treatment such as chemotherapy, It is very important that appropriated actions can be promptly taken by monitoring cancer patients' mental conditions. For this reason, it is crucial to develop a monitoring method which is convenient and not harmful to their body. Brain-computer-interface(BCI) system is introduced for the purpose in this paper. Prefrontal brain waves of cancer patients and control groups have been measured by a portable neurofeedback(NF) system based on self-regulation of the human electroencephalogram(EEG). The NF system consists of the portable EEG amplifier and a headband with dry electrodes placed on Fp1 and Fp2 sites. Patterns of the prefrontal brain waves taken by computer are correlated to brain quotients by EEG-analysis program. Basic rhythm quotient, attention quotient, emotional quotient, anti-stress quotient and correlation quotient of control group have shown high significant level compared with the cancer patients group. On the other hand, the EEG patterns analysis is shown its possibility to be an important methodology of monitoring cancer patients' condition.

This study was performed to identify the effects of the improvement of brain function by CST on the elderly with the 2nd or 3rd grade of long-term care insurance service. A quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group, pre-post test was used. A total of 12 elders (6 in the experimental group and 6 in the control group) were recruited. Upledger CST(10-Step Protocol) was performed on each subject for 50 minutes per session, once a week, for a total of 8 treatments over an 8 week period from Jan to Feb 2015. The brain function quotient was measured before the 1st CST and after the last CST by portable EEG measurement device using a 2 Channel neuro-feedback system. The data was analyzed by SPSS (Ver. 18.0) program. After CST intervention, the attention quotient (AQ), level of tension, anti-stress quotient (ASQ), emotion quotient (EQ) and brain quotient (BQ) of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group. These results showed that the CST was effective in reducing the level of fatigue by the AQ, increasing the physical and psychological stress relief by the ASQ, emotional balance by the EQ, and improving the total brain function by the BQ. Therefore, CST can be used as an effective intervention for improving the health and brain function of the elderly in health facilities.

This study focuses on observing the brain function characteristics of maladaptive soldiers, through EEG analysis. The number of subjects was 1,119 including 59 maladaptive soldiers, 60 normal soldiers and 1,000 civil youths. The EEG measurements were performed from Sep. 2013 to Jan. 2014. As a result of the study, first, the soldier group's BRQ, ATQ, EQ, ASQ and BQ values were significantly higher than civil youth's, on the contrary to SRQ, ACQ, CQ which were higher in civil youth group. Second, compared to normal soldiers, the values of EQ and BQ were meaningfully low in maladaptive soldiers group, as well as the average values of each 8 quotient. In conclusion, military service can be assumed to have a positive effect on brain function of all soldiers due to regular life cycle, usual physical activities and balanced nutrition, but less effect on maladaptive soldiers who are exempted from those strict life.

This study is a single-group experimental study to determine the effects on self-growth group programs are emotional intelligence and brain function index of Nursing Students. The data were collected between August 22 and September30, 2017. A total of 38 Nursing Students at k city were participated. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVAs, and Repeated ANOVA. Self-growth group program showed differences in emotional intelligence over time and Emotional self-understanding showed a statistically significant difference between group and time. The brain function index is no statistically significant difference between group and time but showed a difference in time. The results of self - growing group program has a significant effect on the self - understanding of nursing college students and Brain function index. This study suggests the necessity that the self growth group program for self-understanding, others-understanding, self-opening of nursing students will help improve emotional intelligence.

Transcranial doppler is a non-invasive method that measures the blood flow velocity and the direction of cerebral blood vessels through the doppler principle. The pulsatility index is an index for measuring the transcranial doppler that reflects the distal vascular resistance and is used as an index for the presence and diffusion of cerebral small vessel diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors affecting the basilar artery pulsatility index in ischemic stroke patients. From January 2014 to May 2015, 422 patients were selected by measuring the transcranial doppler pulsatility index, considering their basilar artery pulsatility index. Univariate analysis was performed using the basilar artery pulsatility index as a dependent variable. Multiple regression analysis was performed considering the factors affecting the pulsatility index as variables. Univariate analysis revealed age, presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes mellitus, presence of hyperlipidemia, and hematocrit (P<0.1) as factors. Multiple regression analysis showed statistically significant results with age (P<0.001), presence of diabetes (P=0.004), and presence of hyperlipidemia (P=0.041). The risk factors affecting the basilar artery pulsatility index of transcranial doppler were age, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Further research will be needed to increase the cerebral pulsatility index as a surrogate marker of the elderly, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

To do an experimental analysis in this paper, we divided two non-equivalent control groups, such as pre and post test groups for difference listening types by serious game contents. From these test groups, we can achieve the most ability of its activity quotient (ACQ) effect is a phonic type and the next one is an aural type. The purpose of this paper is focused on the quantitative analysis of the human's brain quotient (BQ) derived from serious educational game contents.

본 연구에서는 뇌파를 이용하여 자동차에 HUD를 적용하였을 때, HUD의 위치와 이미지 컬러 변경 시 뇌 활성화 지수(Brain Activity Quotient)의 변화를 관찰하였다. 뇌파데이터는 Fp1, Fp2, O1, O2 총 4채널에서 얻었고, HUD위치는 좌측, 중앙, 우측으로 구성하였고 컬러는 초록, 주황, 빨강 총 3가지 색상을 사용하였다. HUD이미지의 크기는 $8{\times}4.5cm^2$로 구성하였다. 뇌 활성화 지수는 상대파워분석(Relative power analysis)를 사용하여 Slow beta wave(13~20 Hz)/alpha wave(4~7.99 Hz)로 계산하였다.

본 연구는 2008년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 B. 뇌훈련 센타에 자기조절 능력 및 학업 성취도 향상을 위하여 방문한 내담자 52명(실험군 26명, 대조군 26명)의 뇌파를 검사하여 뉴로피드백 훈련 전과 훈련후의 뇌 기능과 자기 조절 능력 변화를 보고자 하였다. 자기조절 능력에 영향을 미치는 특정한 뇌 기능의 훈련 전과 후의 결과를 시계열 선형분석으로 비교하였으며, 자기조절 능력 반응 측정 변화를 보기 위하여 5점 척도 설문지를 이용하였다. 연구의 결과로는 자기조절지수, 훈련모드, 최대편차에서 집단 간에 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 자기조절 능력 반응 설문지에서도 두 집단이 유의미한 차이를 나타냈다. 이는 전전두엽 뉴로피드백의 기술을 적용한 뇌 훈련은 자기조절지수와 자기조절 능력에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있겠다.
