The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive programs on cognitive function improvement in patients with mild dementia. The subjects were 30 patients with mild dementia. The subjects were applied the cognitive rehabilitation program three times a week for 6 weeks and analyzed the pre-experiment and post-experiment values through the Korean simplified mental state examination (MMSE-K). The results were as follows: The mean of test was increased and statistically significant. Thus, cognitive rehabilitation programs for patients with mild dementia are effective interventions to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia.

This paper examined the change in reaction time and accuracy of mental work by physical activity. A treadmill-equipped instrument is used to attain several levels of physical activity. Subjects were recruited from college students and football players; and they were instructed to run on a treadmill at different speeds. In order to determine the individual levels of physical activity of subjects, in this paper, Borg's-RPE scales which indicates subjective levels of physical activity were obtained. And reaction time was evaluated before and after running by arithmetic calculation test Restricted within the limit of this experiment, the results of this study showed that arithmetic calculation performance as a scale of accuracy of mental work rather increase after the exercise even though there are slight difference among the subjects.

Colours are primarily composed of three properties - hue, brightness, and saturation, However, each property of colour is not independently visually recognised. Previous studies on saturation and brightness found that brightness was sensed differently depending on the degree of purity of the saturation; however, most of the psychophysical experiments used subtractive mixing. Therefore, fundamental research on colour perception based on display is needed. In this study, we conducted a psychophysical experiment and to investigate the visual characteristics of saturation and brightness based on a display with a self-luminous system. After selecting a certain brightness in the additive-mixed display, the experiment was conducted by adjusting the saturation of the main colours. Thus, by analysing the experimental results, we determined whether the results were the same as ones from subtractive mixing and whether the data are meaningful for the characteristics of colour perception. We also suggested future research directions.

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.

환경이나 작업부하 등이 인간에게 주는 피로나, stress 또는 쾌, 불쾌감 등의 감성을 평가하기 위한 정신물리학적인 방법의 하나으로 설문지에 의한 주관적인 평가법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 기존의 수작업으로 이루어지던 설문 방식을 자동화하여 PC 기반으로 설문양식을 자동 생성하고 음성을 통해 응답할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 주관평가 자동화 시스템은 주관평가 데이터를 효율적으로 처리를 할 수 있고 음성을 이용함으로써 피험자의 정신적 부담을 경감시키며 생리신호와 주관평가와의 경시적인 변화를 효과적으로 평가할 수 있다. 설문 형식으로는 5점 척도와 7점 척도를 선택하였으며 평가어는 “매우 아니다”∼“매우 그렇다”로 구성되었다. 평가어를 인식함에 있어 좋은 인식률을 얻기 위한 특징벡터의 치수와 기본 프레임 개수를 대상으로 인식실험을 하였다.

Purpose : In this case report, we demonstrated the improvement of gait ability on the child who has mental retardation with incomplete gait pattern. Methods : The subject was a 4 years old boy with mental retardation. We applied the Bobath approach to the subject. Treatments included to facilitate trunk alignment and stability, and to train weight bearing and shifting, to facilitate pelvis posterior-anterior movement, and to train walk especially stance phase and assist up-down stairs locomotion in environment similar to actual daily life. It was performed 24 sessions for 12 weeks. Results : With this treatment, he could accomplish dynamic standing stability and he could independent walk at the out door after 12 weeks. In gross motor function measure(GMFM), total motor function was improved to 85.6% from 75.7%. Conclusion : The gait ability of child with mental retardation was improved by using the bobath approach.

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.

Nowadays, people get images from various media like TV, magazines, newspaper, internet. Such images directly influence people's thoughts and lives, either consciously or unconsciously. In the past, reproduction devices have been mainly used in reproducing an original scene accurately. Lately, the cognitive preference became a key value in the scene reproduction, and it was affected by the surrounding media. Recently, the most commonly used device in reproducing an original scene is the camera. The core of an image is the light, in other words, the exposure. Most digital cameras are set to adjust exposure automatically in order to reproduce a scene physically as identical as possible. However, physically right exposure does not always give images that people prefers. Numbers of tests were done to find the exposure value that makes an image cognitively more preferred. Skin tones which are highly sensitive to color and changes in density has been used in the tests. A male and a female model have been used to classify changes in cognitive preference due to gender differences.
