지진, 호우, 태풍, 화재 등 긴급한 재난 알림 전달이 필요한 상황에서 청각장애인은 소리를 통한 알림을 인지할 수 없으며 문자를 통한 알림의 인지율도 비장애인에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 편으로서 일반적인 수단의 재난알림을 신속하게 인지하기 어려운 경우가 많다. 이와 같은 청각장애인의 재난안전 긴급알림 인지의 취약성 문제를 해결하고자 픽토그램을 통한 재난안전 긴급 알림 시스템이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 재난문자 통보문의 문구를 기반으로 인공지능을 통하여 청각장애인이 인지하기 보다 용이한 일련의 픽토그램으로 자동으로 변환하는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 재난안전 관련 긴급 통보문과 관련되는 픽토그램 기반의 콘텐츠를 수집하고 문자 기반의 그림 출력에 적합한 인공신경망 구조와 훈련방법을 구성하여 인공신경망 기반으로 재난문자에 대응되는 픽토그램 기반의 청각장애인 재난안전 긴급알림이 생성될 수 있도록 하였다.

In patients with Tourette's syndrome, a tic occurs when Mu wave synchronization is broken. Conversely, when Mu wave synchronization is achieved, a tick does not occur. When the tic is suppressed, the cognitive control response process is changed, and if the neurofeedback training that adjusts the EEG frequency power is performed with the changed, the patient will be treated autonomously without artificially suppressing the tic. The results of the research test suggest that if the tic patient does not artificially synchronize mu waves in the premotor cortex (Frontal Cortical 3 site), and if EEG control is performed autonomously like neurofeedback training, as a result, tics do not occur. Cognitive control response processes are altered when a subject is inhibited from tics. By training the altered cognitive control with neurofeedback that modulates EEG frequency power, the patient can be treated autonomously without artificially suppressing the tic.Mu-wave synchronizationcan now be added to existing neurofeedback treatment protocols such as SMR reinforcement, theta-beta-wave imbalance correction, and alpha-wave reinforcement. This study will be used in follow-up studies and clinical trials to more scientifically verify the neurofeedback treatment protocol, a treatment for patients with Tourette's syndrome.

Due to economic development and advancement of medical science, an aging society where the proportion of the elderly population increases is coming. Korea's aging speed is growing rapidly compared to that of other developed countries. The physical and mental abilities of elderly people with aging are getting worse more and more. They want a kind of auxiliary system in order to mitigate and prevent their weakness. The supplementary system can greatly contribute to improving the quality of life for elderly people. In particular, some devices that include muscle strengthening and cognitive and balance ability enhancement are useful for the most older people. In this paper, we introduce a development of human care contents based rehabilitation equipment to enhance these functions, and present its usability evaluation. The evaluation is conducted for rehabilitation specialists as well as expected users and their results are analyzed.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cognitive rehabilitation program (CRP) using virtual content, for recovering patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD). A total of 34 patients with CVD were divided into a control group and an experimental group, and subsequently subjected to a virtual content based CRP, followed by cognition, ADLs, and upper limbs. The control group completed a universal rehabilitation program (URP), and the experimental group was provided a URP and a virtual content based cognitive rehabilitation program. For both groups, respective programs were conducted twice a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Both groups showed significant improvement in ADLs (p<0.05); but the amount of change in the experimental group 5 point improved significantly (p<0.05). Cognition was significantly different for both groups (p<0.05). However, the experimental group showed a greater change (2 point) than the control group when considering the amount of change (p<0.05). Comparing the amount of change in the upper extremity, the experimental group showed a significant change (0.7 point) than the control group (p<0.05). This study confirms that compared to URP, CRP using virtual content significantly improves ADLs and cognition.

Simulation using the virtual reality has been applied in various fields such as exercise, education, disaster simulation training, but there is a little research on disease caused by virus transmission. In this study, we conducted simulation studies and analysis of avian influenza disaster response training. The annual avian influenza virus is recurring every year in Korea, but there are still few solutions and preventive measures for the preventing the avian influenza. The avian influenza can cause a great deal of societal harm and enormous economic damage. Prophylaxis is important because livestock epidemics, such as avian influenza and foot-and-mouth disease, have a large impact on farm households. Therefore, we proposed and analyzed contents that can be avoided through simulation of avian influenza disaster response presented in this study.
