Objectives: Brain maturation involves brain lateralization and asymmetry to achieve efficient information processing and cognitive controls. This study elucidates normal brain maturation change during the gap between ages 6-9 and age 14-17 using resting EEG. Methods: An EEG dataset was acquired from open source MIPDB (Multimodal Resource for Studying Information Processing in the Developing Brain). Ages 6-9 (n = 24) and ages 14-17 (n = 26) were selected for analysis, and subjects with psychiatric illness or EEG with severe noise were excluded. Finally, ages 6-9 (n = 14) and ages 14-17 (n = 11) were subjected to EEG analysis using EEGlab. A 120-sec length of resting EEG when eyes were closed was secured for analysis. Brain topography was compartmentalized into nine regions, best fitted with brain anatomical structure. Results: Absolute power of the delta band and theta band in ages 6-9 was greater than that of ages 14-17 in the whole brain, and, also is relative power of delta band in frontal compartment, which is same line with previous studies. The relative power of the beta band of ages 14-17 was greater than that of ages 6-9 in the whole brain. In asymmetry evaluation, relative power of the theta band in ages 14-17 showed greater power in the left than right frontal compartment; the opposite finding was noted in the parietal compartment. For the alpha band, a strong relative power distribution in the left parietal compartment was observed in ages 14-17. Absolute and relative power of the alpha band is distributed with hemispheric left lateralization in ages 14-17. Conclusion: During the gap period between ages 6-9 and ages 14-17, brain work becomes more complicated and sophisticated, and alpha band and beta band plays important roles in brain maturation in typically developing children.

오늘날 고속 철도는 중요한 교통수단으로 사용되고 있다. 주행거리 단축을 위해 직선 선로를 만드는 것이 불가피해 졌고 그에 따라 터널과 교량의 구간이 늘어나게 되었다. 특히 터널 통과 시에 발생되는 실내 소음은 운행 속도, 운행 구간 레일의 종류 등 여러 가지 원인에 의해 야기되어 진다. 실내소음으로 인해 철도를 이용하는 승객의 쾌적한 환경에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 KTX와 새마을호의 터널 통과 시 발생되는 소음이 피험자에게 미치는 영향을 EEG를 통해 살펴보았다. 먼저 터널 통과 시 KTX와 새마을호의 실내 소음을 실제로 측정하여 크기, 주파수별로 분석하였다. 측정된 실내 소음을 피험자에게 제시하였을 때 나타나는 EEG를 측정하였다. EEG의 분석에 대해서는 불안, 긴장 등 스트레스를 받을 때 강하게 나타나는 ${\beta}$파의 변화를 관찰한 결과를 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 45명의 가상현실 사용자들의 가상현실 전, 중, 후의 생리신호의 변화를 관찰하였고 성격, 능력 특성 설문지, 가상현실 평가 설문지를 이용하여 심리적 영향을 알아보았다. 체온의 변화 양상을 기준으로 하여 가상현실 사용자의 심리생리학적 유형을 나누고 유형별 심리적인 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 1) A 유형: 가상현실 유행동안 체온이 연속적으로 감소하는 유형. 2) B 유형: 가상현실 윤행초기에 체온이 급격히 증가해서 운행동안 서서히 체온이 상승하는 유형. A 유형에 속하는 사용자들의 성격적 특성은 Holland의 성격 유형이론에 근거하여 실제형의 사람들이 많은 것으로 나타났으며 B 유형은 탐구형, 사회형의 사람들이 많은 경향으로 나타났다. 멀미민감도는 A 유형이 B 유형보다 더 크게 나타났다. A, B 유형의 뇌파분석 결과 정중 전두부 (Fz), 정중 중심부 (Cz)에서 베타파, 감마파 상대파워가 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 체온의 변화 양상에 따라 나눈 A, B 유형은 성격 및 능력 특성, 멀미민감도에 있어서 유형간 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The present study describes the effects of music and vibroacoustic stimuli to the relaxation of human body. We have carried out the experiment on 6 human subjects of which are composed 3men and 3women. We have investigated the electroencephalogram(EEG) of all subjects before and after the stimuli of which are made a strong noise or the meditatiom music and the acoustic vibration. The vibroacoustic device has transmitted meditation music as vibration between 20Hz and 250Hz to the body. From the experimental results, we made sure the effects that the meditation music and vibroacoustic stimuli influenced the stress reduction of human body for good as alpha-wave was increased continuously during the good stimuli and after that.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of number of targets on common knowledge generation and brain activity during the common life science discovery task performance. In this study, 35 preliminary life science teachers participated. This study was intentionally made a block designed for EEG recording. EEGs were collected while subjects were performing common discovery tasks. The sLORETA method and the relative power spectrum analysis method were used to analyze the brain activity difference and the role of activated cortical and subcortical regions according to the degree of difficulty of common discovery task. As a result of the study, in the case of the Theta wave, the activity of the Theta wave was significantly decreased in the frontal lobe and increased in the occipital lobe when the difficult difficulty task was compared with the easy difficulty task. In the case of Alpha wave, the activity of Alpha decreased significantly in the frontal lobe when performing difficult task with difficulty. Beta wave activity decreased significantly in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe when performing difficult task. Finally, in the case of Gamma wave, activity of Gamma wave decreased in the frontal lobe and activity increased in the parietal lobe and temporal lobe when performing the difficult difficulty task compared to the task of easy difficulty. The level of difficulty of the commonality discovery task is determined by the cingulate gyrus, the cuneus, the lingual gyrus, the posterior cingulate, the precuneus, and the sub-gyral where it was shown to have an impact. Therefore, the difficulty of the commonality discovery task is the process of integrating the visual information extracted from the image and the location information, comparing the attributes of the objects, selecting the necessary information, visual work memory process of the selected information. It can be said to affect the process of perception.
