Murakami and Cavanagh (1998a,b, 1999) reported a jitter aftereffect in a static random noise after a period of adaptation to a patch of dynamic random noise. To a account for this phenomenon. they proposed the retinal slip caused by a small eye movements in the unadapted area, which is usually compensated by the visual system to stabilize images but is unsuppressed due to the adaptation. We tested this hypothesis with new experimental method and stimuli that were supposed to nullify or reduce the effect. However. the aftereffect was still observed even under these stimuls conditions More importantly, the perceived aftereffect was rather different from Murakami and Cavanagh's. After adaptation to a counterphase flickering cosine grating, the adjacent unadapted region seems to move away from the observer during the test period instead of jittering in the frontoparallel plane. We proposed a possible explanation for this new phenomenon noting the severe contrast reduction of the adapted region during flickering period. The aftereffect might be due to the flicker-inducing contrast reduction during adaptation that produces different depth planes for the adapted and unadapted region and its restoration during the test period.

This research was conducted to see the correlation between changes of ankle Joint Position Sense and Sway Area through Unstable Surface training. For the study, 48 healthy males and females were randomly divided into an unstable surface group(n=24) and a stable surface group(n=24). Then, they were asked to carry out the same exercise program three times a week for six weeks. The unstable surface group and stable surface group performed the exercise program on the balance exercise pad and on the hard ground, respectively. As a result, the unstable surface group displayed significantly reduced error of ankle joint position sense and sway area(p<.05). Moreover, a significant correlation between variances of ankle joint position sense and sway area was only found in the unstable surface group. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between changes of ankle joint position sense and sway area through proprioceptive sense training on the unstable surface.

Bonneh, Cooperman and Sagi (2001) reported that when a global moving pattern was superimposed on high-contrast stationary stimuli, the latter disappeared and reappeared alternatively for periods of several seconds. They named this as motion-induced-blindness. In present research a rotating transparent cylinder composed of white dots was superimposed on a stationary green dots. When observers watched these stimuli wearing a red filter on his/her right eye, the stationary green dots disappeared or reappeared as did in Bonneh et al. The new MIB was observed only when the cylinder rotated and observers weared a red filter. As the luminance contrast of the green dots and that of white dots against the background reduced, and as the number of green dots and white dots decreased, the duration of MIB reduced. Also, the relative depth of the rotating cylinder and the stationary green dots affected the duration of MIB. These results imply that the new MIB is different from the MIB which was observed by Bonneh et al and that the new MIB cannot be explained by binocular rivalry. Further more, the results imply that the later stage of visual information processing is involved in the new MIB.

The aim of the study is to test a hypothesis that quasi-breath-hold (QBH) biofeedback improves the residual respiratory motion management in gated 3D thoracic MR imaging, reducing respiratory motion artifacts with insignificant acquisition time alteration. To test the hypothesis five healthy human subjects underwent two gated MR imaging studies based on a T2 weighted SPACE MR pulse sequence using a respiratory navigator of a 3T Siemens MRI: one under free breathing and the other under QBH biofeedback breathing. The QBH biofeedback system utilized the external marker position on the abdomen obtained with an RPM system (Real-time Position Management, Varian) to audio-visually guide a human subject for 2s breath-hold at 90% exhalation position in each respiratory cycle. The improvement in the upper liver breath-hold motion reproducibility within the gating window using the QBH biofeedback system has been assessed for a group of volunteers. We assessed the residual respiratory motion management within the gating window and respiratory motion artifacts in 3D thoracic MRI both with/without QBH biofeedback. In addition, the RMSE (root mean square error) of abdominal displacement has been investigated. The QBH biofeedback reduced the residual upper liver motion within the gating window during MR acquisitions (~6 minutes) compared to that for free breathing, resulting in the reduction of respiratory motion artifacts in lung and liver of gated 3D thoracic MR images. The abdominal motion reduction in the gated window was consistent with the residual motion reduction of the diaphragm with QBH biofeedback. Consequently, average RMSE (root mean square error) of abdominal displacement obtained from the RPM has been also reduced from 2.0 mm of free breathing to 0.7 mm of QBH biofeedback breathing over the entire cycle (67% reduction, p-value=0.02) and from 1.7 mm of free breathing to 0.7 mm of QBH biofeedback breathing in the gated window (58% reduction, p-value=0.14). The average baseline drift obtained using a linear fit was reduced from 5.5 mm/min with free breathing to 0.6 mm/min (89% reduction, p-value=0.017) with QBH biofeedback. The study demonstrated that the QBH biofeedback improved the upper liver breath-hold motion reproducibility during the gated 3D thoracic MR imaging. This system can provide clinically applicable motion management of the internal anatomy for gated medical imaging as well as gated radiotherapy.

인간에게 운동감을 적절히 제시해주기 위하여는 Newton에 의한 운동의 세가지 법칙뿐만 아니라 EInstein의 상대성이론이 첨가되어야 한다. 즉, Newton운동의 제1법칙에 의하여 피실험자가 외력을 받지 않으면 등속운동 또는 정지상태를 계속 유지하게 되어 자신이 등속좌표계에 고정되어있기 때문에 시각적 인 정보가 없으면 어떠한 운동감도 못 느낀다. 이때 피실험자에게 정지해있는 기준좌표계에 대하여 등속 으로 움직이는 것을 인식시켜주기 위하여 피실험자에 대한 기준좌표계의 상대속도를 시각정보로 제공해 주어야 한다. 또한 Newton운동의 제2법칙에 의하여 똑같은 힘이 외력으로 작용하더라도 피실험자의 질량과 가속도는 서로 반비례하므로 화면이동속도변화를 피실험자의 질량에 반비례하도록 제시해 주어야 한다(김 정흠, 1982). 본 연구에서는 이러한 개념에 근거하여, 체중이 다른 여섯 피실험자들로 구성된 시스템에 대해서 각 피실험자에게 서로 다른 변위를 주고자할 때, 여섯가지 외력에 요구되는 작용시간을 Jacobi Iteration 방법과 Gauss-Seidel Iteration 방법으로 구하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다(D.V. Griffiths and I.M. Smith, 1991).

A flow visualization of the 1st cycle motion of a fling-clapping wing that might be employed by butterflies during flight is performed. In this numerical flow visualization, he time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two wing motion types; 'fling followed by clap and pause' and 'clap followed by fling and pause'. The result is observed regarding the main flow features such as the sequential development of the two families of separation vortex pairs and their movement. For the fling followed by clap and pause motion, a strong separation vortex pair of counter-clockwise develops in the opening between the wings in the fling phase and they then move out from the opening in the following clap phase. For the clap followed by fling and pause motion, the separation vortex pair developed in the outside space in the clap phase move into the opening in the following fling phase. The separation vortex pair in the opening developed in the fling phase of the clap followed by fling and pause motion is observed to be stronger than that in the opening developed in the fling phase of the fling followed by clap and pause motion.

멀티터치 스크린 상에서의 접촉식 제스처 UI(User Interface)는 사용자가 안정적으로 손을 사용할 수 있는 정적인 상황에서 편리하게 사용할 수 있다. 하지만, 조깅을 한다거나 운전을 하는 등의 동적인 상황에서는 접촉식의 제스처 인터페이스는 심각한 사용성 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정지 및 운동 상황 모두에서 사용할 수 있는 비접촉성 제스처 기반 인터랙션을 개발하고자 하였다. 비접촉성 제스처 UI 인식 방식은 컴퓨터 센서 제스처, 멀티 터치 제스처, 자이로 센서 세 가지로 제한하였다. 그리고 본 연구를 통해 정지 상황과 운동 상황에서 MP3 플레이어를 시용할 수 있는 제스처의 어휘 목록을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점과 시사점을 논의하였다.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate effects of target types and retinal eccentricity on the search of a target while both target and background stimuli were static or moving. A visual search task was used in both experiments. The retinal eccentricity was determined by five concentric circles increasing by the unit of 1.6 and the target was different from the background stimuli in either orientation(orientation target) or a distinctive feature(feature target). In Experiment 1 where both the target and background stimuli were presented statically, an interaction between retinal eccentricity arid target type was found. While search time of the orientation target was not affected by the retinal eccentricity, that of the feature target increased as the retinal eccentricity increased. In Experiment 2 where all stimuli were moving, the interaction effect was also found. But the reason was not the same as that in Experiment 1. In the moving condition, while the search time of the orientation target decreased consistently as the retinal eccentricity increased, that of the feature target was not affected by the retinal eccentricity. The implications and limitations of the present results were discussed with respects to the real world situations such as driving cars or flying airplanes.

현존하는 문헌에 의하면, 입술근육의 수축과 운동시간의 측면에서 영어의 자음을 경음-연음분류를 할 수 있는 음성학적 실증이 없는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 근육운동 측정기를 사용하여 영어와 한국어의 양순 정지음의 발화시 근육(orbicularis oris superior muscle)운동을 측정하였다. 영어의 강세음절에서는 기존의 주장과 같이 /p/와 /b/의 발화시 근육운동에 차이가 없거나 일관성이 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 무강세음절에는 기존 이론과 달리 근육운동수축에 있어서 /p/가 /b/에 비하여 통계학적으로 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났다.(중략)
