주의 깜박임이란 RSVP상에서 두 개 이상의 표적을 탐지할 때 먼저 제시 된 표적(T1)에 대해서는 정확성이 높지만 이후 500ms 이내의 표적(T2)에 대해서는 체계적으로 수행이 저하되는 현상을 말한다. 이를 설명하는 이론들은 주의용량결핍 모형과 주의여과지연 모형으로 분류할 수 있다. 한편, 시각적 주의 용량은 좌우 시각영역에서 독립적으로 작용하는 반시야 독립성으로 인해 다양한 과제에서 양측영역이득이 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 주의 용량의 반시야 독립성을 이용하여 주의 깜박임을 설명하는 두 갈래의 이론을 검증하였다. 실험 1은 T1과 T2를 포함하는 두 개의 RSVP를 양쪽 시야 영역에 나누어 제시하거나 한쪽 시야 영역에 제시하여 주의 깜박임과 양측영역이득간의 상호작용을 검증하였다. 실험 2는 하나의 RSVP에서 T1을 제거함으로써 양쪽 시야 영역에 T1과 T2가 독립된 주의용량을 사용할 때에도 주의 깜박임이 나타나는지 확인하였다. 그 결과 두 개의 RSVP를 양쪽 시야 영역에 나누어 제시하였을 때 더 우수한 수행을 보여주었으나 (즉, 양측영역이득) 주의 깜박임과 양측영역이득의 상호작용은 나타나지 않았다. 또한, T1이 제시되지 않은 RSVP의 T2에서도 주의 깜박임 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 결과들은 주의 깜박임에 대한 주의여과지연 모형을 지지한다.

Objectives : Trauma patients have attentional bias which enforces traumatic memories and causes cognitive errors. Understanding of such selective attention may explain many aspects of the posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) symptoms. Methods : We used the rapid serial visual presentation(RSVP) method to verify attentional blink in burn patients with PTSD. International affective picture system(IAPS) was used as stimuli and distracters. In the 'neutral test', patients have been presented series of pictures with human face picture as target stimuli. Each picture had 100ms interval. However the distance between target facial pictures was randomized and recognition of second facial picture accuracy was measured. In the 'stress test', the first target was stress picture which arouses patient emotions instead of the facial picture. Neutral and Stress tests were done with seven PTSD patients and 20 controls. In '85ms test' the interval was reduced to 85ms. The accuracy of recognition of second target facial picture was rated in all three tests. Eighty-five ms study was done with eighteen PTSD patients. Results : Attentional blinks were observed in 100-400ms of RSVP. PTSD patients showed increased recognition rate in the 'stress test' compared with the 'neutral test'. When presentation interval was decreased to 85 ms, PTSD patient showed decrease of attentional blink effect when target facial picture interval was 170ms. Conclusion : We found attentional blink effect could be affected by stress stimulus in burn patients. And attentional blink may be affected by stimulus interval and the character of stimulus. There may be some other specific mechanism related with selective attention in attentional blink especially with facial picture processing.

주의깜박거림(AB)이란 시야의 고정 위치에 신속순차제시(RSVP)되는 항목들 중에 출현하는 두 표적에 대해 후행 표적(T2)이 선행 표적(T1)의 출현 이후 약 500ms 이내에 출현할 경우 그에 대한 의식적 수준의 보고가 어려워지는 현상을 의미한다. 본 연구는 T1 기억공고화에 요구되는 주의자원량이 T2에 대한 AB 강도를 결정한다는 병목 모형을 토대로 T1에 대한 표적 가시성 처치가 T2에 대한 주의깜박거림의 강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. T1 저가시성 조건의 경우 T1에 배경화면과의 명암대비가 낮은 회색을 그리고 T1 고가시성 조건의 경우 선명한 색상을 부여해 흰색의 나머지 방해자극들과 구분되도록 처치하였다. 또한 표적 위치에 대한 불확실성 부여를 위해 시야의 네 위치에 전개되는 다중 RSVP 배열 내에 T1과 T2를 제시해 표적처리에 관여하는 주의 자원을 평균적으로 소진시켰다. 두 편의 실험에서 T2에 대한 AB의 강도는 고가시성 조건에서 상대적으로 큰 것이 관찰되었으며 T2의 가시성을 증가시켰을 때 T1 가시성 처치의 영향력이 더욱 분명해졌다. 이러한 결과는 T1 병목 해소를 위해 할당되는 가용한 주의 자원의 양이 부족할수록 더욱 T1 가시성 효과의 영향력이 분명해짐을 시사하며, T1의 가시성 수준이 T1 병목의 강도를 결정할 수 있다는 병목 모형의 제안을 지지한다.

Generally, human eye blinks are closely associated with the cognitive state or visual attention such as attentional requirements on visual stimuli. These previous studies have reported that eye blinks are related to explicit visual attention using blink rate, pattern and blink timing across subjects. However, these results have been obtained in a well-controlled experimental settings. So, it would prove difficult to investigate human's natural response in a continuous and realistic situation. In our study, we measured the eye blink intervals while participants viewed a movie clip. And we analyzed the blink interval data for relationship between visual attention and eye blink intervals. 24 participants took part in two experimental sessions, first session to measure the IEBI while viewing the movie clip and second session to conduct a memory performance test using a self-questionnaire, which were spaced 3 weeks apart. The results indicate significantly higher memory performance at long IEBI period than short IEBI period while watching a movie clip(t = 3.257, df = 17, p < 0.005, 2-tailed). In addition, memory performance score significantly correlated with the IEBI value(spearman's rho = 0.40, N = 36, p < 0.01, 2-tailed). Our results suggest that IEBI is used to measure or assess visual attention while wiewing the movie that it is capable of simulating aspects of real-life experiences by visual attention. Thus, we expect IEBI to be used to measure or assess our visual attention, cognition, further emotion about not only movies, advertisements and other cultural contents but also cognitive science.

We examined the psychophysiological effects of navigation in a virtual reality (VR). Subjects were exposed to the VR, and required to detect specific objects. Ten electrophysiological signals were recorded before, during, and after navigation in the VR. Six questionnaires on the VR experience were acquired from 45 healthy subjects. There were significant changes between the VR period and the pre-VR control period in several psychophysiological measurements. During the VR period, eye blink, skin conductance level, and alpha frequency of EEG were decreased but gamma wave were increased. Physiological changes associated with cybersickness included increased heart rate, eye blink, skin conductance response, and gamma wave and decreased photoplethysmogram and skin temperature. These results suggest an attentional change during VR navigation and activation of the autonomic nervous system for cybersickness. These findings would enhance our understanding for the psychophysiological changes during VR navigation and cybersickness.

Objective : This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 5-minute short mindfulness intervention on emotional regulation and cognitive improvement compared to self-awareness intervention. Methods : A total of 40 participants were randomly assigned and divided into a mindfulness group and a self-aware group. Participants responded to Korean Version of Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (K-PANAS), and Korean version of Toronto Mindfulness Scale (K-TMS) to confirm prior homogeneity. Both groups performed processing according to each group after completing sentences related to themselves for self-focusing. Afterwards, the participants performed the Emotional Attentional Blink (EAB) task as a behavioral measure, and responded to K-PANAS and K-TMS post hoc. Results : The mindfulness group showed lower negative emotions in the K-PANAS than the self-awareness group. The mindfulness group showed higher accuracy than the self-awareness group in negative stimuli presented in the 200 ms condition and neutral stimuli presented in the 800 ms condition. However, there was no difference between groups in K-TMS. Conclusion : The study suggests that mindfulness and self-awareness have different emotion regulation strategies in negative stimuli. Additionally, 5-minute mindfulness intervention was relatively beneficial to improve cognitive function.
