BCI system integrates control or telecommunication system with generating electric signals in scalp itself after signal acquisition. This system detect a movement of EEG at real time, can control an electron equipment using a generated signal through EEG movement or software-based processor. In this paper, we deal with removing and separating artifacts induceced from measurement when brain-computer interface system that analyzes recognizes EEG signals occurred from various mental states. In this paper, we proposed a method of EEG classification and an artifact interval detection using bisection mathematical modeling in the EEG classification process for BCI system implementation.

With the advent of BCI technology in recent years, various BCI products have been released. BCI technology enables brain information to be transmitted directly to a computer, and it will bring a lot of convenience to life. However, there is a problem with information protection. In particular, EEG data can raise issues about personal privacy. Collecting and analyzing big data on EEG reports raises serious concerns about personal information exposure. In this paper, we propose a secure privacy-preserving BCI model in a big data environment. The proposed model could prevent personal identification and protect EEG data in the cloud environment.

Affective computing has gained increasing interest in the recent years with the development of potential applications in Human computer interaction (HCI) and healthcare. Although momentous research has been done on human emotion recognition, however, in comparison to speech and facial expression less attention has been paid to physiological signals. In this paper, Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from different brain regions were investigated using modified wavelet energy features. For minimization of redundancy and maximization of relevancy among features, mRMR algorithm was deployed significantly. EEG recordings of a publically available "DEAP" database have been used to classify four classes of emotions with Multi class Support Vector Machine. The proposed approach shows significant performance compared to existing algorithms.

집중도를 평가하기 위하여 피험자에게 집중을 유발시키는 3가지 task(단기기억작업, Corsi block tapping task, visuomotor task)를 부가하고 주관평가 및 생리신호(뇌파, 심전도, 맥파, 피부온도, 호흡, 피부전도도)를 측정하였다. 뇌파를 mapping하여 평가에 적합한 전극이 위치를 선정하고, task 수행중 집중도 변화와 짐전도의 심박변화와의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과 안정과 task 수행시 뇌파 mapping상 전체 power의 변호가 frontal 부분에서 크게 나타났으며, 집중시 R-R 간격의 순간간격변화가 줄어들었다.

최근 온열 환경에서 인간의 쾌적감에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 온열쾌적감에 영향을 주는 요인들로는 온도, 습도, 기류 둥의 물리적 요인과 성별이나 체질 둥의 개인적인 요인들 뿐만 아니라 온열환경에서 느끼는 인간의 감성적인 측면도 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 여러가지 온열 환경 중에서 기류환경에 따른 인간의 온열 쾌적감을 평가하기 위해 생체반응의 변화 및 감성의 변화에 따른 생리신호를 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 기류환경은 기존에 사용되고 있는 풍향변화기류 및 풍량변화기류와 새롭게 개발되어진 감성기류의 3가지 기류 조건을 제시하였고, 이에 따른 인체의 자율신경계의 반응과 감성 상태를 관찰하기 위해 심전도(ECG)와 뇌파(EEC)를 측정하여 HRV(Heart Rate Variability) 분석과 EEG 주파수 스펙트럼 분석을 시행하였다. 생리신호 분석결과 심전도의 HRV 분석에서는 감성기류가 풍향변화 기류와 풍속변화기류에 비해 HF/LF 비가 높게 나타났고, 뇌파의 주파수 스펙트럼 분석에서도 $\beta$파에 대한 뇌파의 상대 전력비가 감성기류에서 높게 나타나 감성기류가 제시된 다른 기류인 풍향변화기류나 풍속변화기류에 비해 쾌적한 온열환경 제시를 위한 기류조건이라고 평가되었다. 결론적으로 심전도의 HRV분석과 뇌파의 주파수 분석이 .제시된 기류환경의 온열쾌적감 평가에서 서로 유의한 결과를 나타냄으로써, 이들 생리신호의 분석이 온열환경에 따른 인간의 감성 변화를 객관적으로 나타내고 온열 쾌적감을 평가하는데 있어 유용한 정보가 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

This research measures EEG signals which are generating on head skin and extracts brain concentration level related with brain activity. We develop concentration wireless transmission system for controlling hardware by using this signal. Two channels are used for measuring EEG signal on front head and Biopac system with MP-100 and EEG100C was used for measuring EEG signal, amplifying and filtering the signal. LabView 8.5 was also used for FFT transformation, frequency and spectrum analysis of the measure EEG signal. As a result, ${\alpha}$ wave, ${\beta}$ wave, ${\theta}$ wave and ${\delta}$ wave were classified. we extracted the concentration index by adapting concentration extraction algorithm. This concentration index was transferred into lego automobile device by wireless module and applied for BCI application.

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 daily life, humans get stress very often. Stress is one of the important factors of healthy life and closely related to the quality of life. Too much stress is known to cause hormone imbalance of our body, and it is observed by the brain and bio signals. Based on this, the relationship between brain signal and stress is explored, and brain signal based stress index is proposed in our work. In this study, an EEG measurement device with 32 channels is adopted. However, only two channels (FP1, FP2) are used to this study considering the applicability of the proposed method in real enveironment, and to compare it with the commercial 2 channel EEG device. Frequency domain features are power of each frequency bands, subtraction, addition, or division by each frequency bands. Features in time domain are hurst exponent, correlation dimension, lyapunov exponent, etc. Total 6 subjects are participated in this experiment with English sentence reading task given. Among several candidate features, ${\frac{{\theta}\;power}{mid\;{\beta}\;power}}$ shows the best test performance (70.8%). For future work, we will confirm the results is consistent in low price EEG device.
