가상환경 또는 실제환경에서 정보를 제공하는 햅틱 인터페이스의 필요성이 점점 증가 함에 따라 촉감을 제공 하기 위한 다양한 햅틱 장치가 개발되었고 각 장치의 특성과 성능 평가를 위해 기초적인 정신(심리) 물리학적 연구가 수행 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 햅틱 인터페이스 중 손가락 끝에 부착하는 형태의 새로운 공기 촉감 제시장치(PTI: Pneumatic Tactile Interface)를 제시하고 이 장치의 유용성을 입증하기 위해 localization rate, 시간 분해능, 길이 분해능, 강도의 세기 등의 심리 물리학적 실험(Psychophysical Experiment) 수행 결과를 제시한다. 공기촉감 시스템은 50개의 출력까지 확장 가능한 공기촉감 하드웨어로 구성 되어있고 손가락 끝에 부착하는 형태로 구성 하기 위해 5*5의 배열의 디스플레이를 제작하였다. 16명의 피실험자가 A, B 두 그룹으로 나뉘어 각각 2가지의 심리물리학 실험을 수행하였다. localization rate의 경우 9개의 다른 자극의 위치를 구별하기 위해 3*3 배열로 구성된 밀집된 디스플레이와 확장된 디스플레이로 측정을 수행하여 각각 58.13%, 85.9%의 localization rate를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 100번의 반복 실험을 통해 약 2.6mm의 길이 분해능을 얻을 수 있었고 자극 강도 실험의 경우, 실제의 강도가 세짐에 따라 피 실험 자들이 느끼는 강도의 척도도 증가 하며, 강도가 약해 질수록 피 실험 자들이 느끼는 강도 역시 거의 선형적으로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 시간 분해능의 경우에는 시스템을 구성하는 밸브의 성능으로 인해 20ms 이하의 시간 분해능 측정은 제한 되었다. 이러한 심리 물리학 실험을 통하여 개발된 공기촉감 제시장치가 다양한 정보를 전달하는데 충분하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있으며, 제안된 시스템을 사용하는 여러 가지 어플리케이션을 제시하였다.

This study is for better understanding about the process of students' conceptual change. As a starting point, it is assumed that the process of students' conceptual change can be viewed as the process of the successive refinement and articulation of students' conceptual framework. Based on the theoretical review of conceptual change literature, various processes, which can be involved in the above assumed process, can be found. And also, by analyzing the process of development of scientific knowledge about Planck's blackbody radiation law and Bohr's atom, six types of processes of refinement and articulation of scientific knowledge can be found. It is hoped that these theoretical discussions can guide the direction for obtaining and interpreting the students' real responses during the process of conceptual change.

This paper presents a novel pneumatic tactile display that can deliver some useful information. The air-jet display forms 5 by 5 arrays and features air nozzles with an external diameter of 2.4mm and internal diameter of 1.5 mm. In comparison with other tactile displays such as vibrotactile, there is little concrete psychophysical data relating to pneumatic displays, a fact which hinders their adoption. This paper addresses this challenge, and presents brief psychophysical studies examining localization rate, the two point threshold, stimulus intensity and the temporal threshold of cues produced by pneumatic air jets. Two groups of subjects were used in these studies, subsequently termed groups A and B. Both were comprised of eight participants. In the case of localization study we obtained 58.13% and 85.9% of localization rates each for dense display and sparse display. Two-points threshold test showed the length of gap between two air-jet stimuli which subjects can detect. However, it was formidable to find out precise temporal resolution of PTI owing to the limitation of capability of the pneumatic valves. Lastly, the results of stimulus intensity study suggest that by varying the size of a pneumatically created tactile stimulus, we can effectively vary its perceived magnitude.

Current research explores the effect of language on the perception of facial emotion as suggested by the psychological construction theory of emotion by using a psychophysical method. In this study, we hypothesize that the perception of facial expression may be influenced if the observer is shown an affective word before he/she judges an expression. Moreover, we suggest that his/her understanding of a facial emotion will be in line with the conceptual context that the word denotes. During the two experiments conducted for this project, a control stimulus or words representing either angry or happy emotions were briefly presented to participants before they were shown a target face. These target faces were randomly selected from seven faces that were gradually morphed to show neutral to angry (in Experiment 1) and neutral to happy (in Experiment 2) expressions. The participants were asked to perform a two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) task to judge the emotion of the target face (i.e., decide whether it is angry or neutral, or happy or neutral). The results of Experiment 1 (when compared with the control condition) showed that words denoting anger decreased the point of subjective equality (PSE) for judging the emotion of the target as anger, whereas words denoting happiness increased the PSE. Experiment 2, in which participants had to judge expressions on a scale from happy to neutral, produced a contrasting pattern of results. The outcomes of this study support the claim of the psychological construction theory of emotion that the perception of facial emotion is an active construction process that may be influenced by information (such as affective words) that provide conceptual context.

In this study, we attempted in preparing high precision EEG measuring equipment. To measure EEG in high efficiency, pre-amplifier should get high performance common mode rejection ratio. Also, separation amplifier is essential to eliminate common line noise. So, our study were pointed at elevating the efficiency of eliminating noise, user safety and low noise characteristics. Prepared high precision pre-amplifier for EEG was A/D converted to automatically classify $\alpha$ wave, $\beta$ wave and $\theta$ wave. And converted data were Fast Fourier Transformed with real time DSP (Digital Signal Processing). Clinical demonstrations were carried out with healthy students, aged between 20 to 26 who has no histories of illness. To recognize the efficiency of the EEG, prepared EEG were used with MS equipment in low stimulated state and high stimulated state. Then, we studied at the effect of sensitivity on brain wave. From this study, it is known that our EEG equipment is efficient in sensitivity evaluation and suitable stimulations for each psychological state are required.

Dancers' motions are perceived by observers through visual processes with visual information forming the basis for the observers' appreciation and evaluation of the dancers' motions. There have been many discussions as to whether or not observers' personal athletic capabilities form an essential basis for accurate assessment of the motions of others but, so far, no valid conclusions have been reached. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the ability to predict motions of others varies depending on the athletic expertise of the observers. Participants of this research were ballet dancers of varying athletic expertise. Twenty seven participants were divided into three groups with nine in each: beginners, intermediate experts and experts. The participants watched the same dance video and then evaluated whether the motion would be successful or not. The movement related visual information required to evaluate the success of the motion was systematically adjusted by controlling the length of the video. Using the temporal occlusion method, this study measured the response accuracy of the participants by category of expertise. Under the circumstance with insufficient visual information to utilize, the experts showed higher rates of correct response than the intermediate experts and the beginners. The beginners showed higher rates of wrong response than the experts and the intermediate experts. These results showed that the ability to predict success or failure of a dance motion varied depending on motion expertise of the observers, although they had similar level of expertise in perception. Participants considered to have high athletic expertise showed high prediction ability on the result of the motion. In addition, high expertise in perception reduced the likelihood that participants would make hasty responses under the circumstance with insufficient information and helped to reduce wrong response rate. In conclusion, this study showed that motor expertise and perceptual expertise contribute to prediction accuracy of observed motions.
