양궁의 슈팅과정에 대하여 정신 집중력과 긴장 이완도를 뇌파를 이용하여 평가하였다. 정신 집중과 긴장 이완 수준의 평가는 집중과 명상 알고리즘을 이용하여 수행되었다. 우수, 중급, 그리고 초급 양궁선수들이 야외 양궁장에서 근거리와 장거리 타깃을 대상으로 슈팅 훈련을 할 때 앞이마(Fp1)에 전극을 부착한 헤드밴드 형태의 휴대용 뇌파 시스템으로 뇌파를 기록하였다. 개인별로 기록된 뇌파는 집중과 명상 알고리즘을 이용하여 실시간으로 정신집중과 긴장이완 수준이 계산되었으며, 슈팅 과정에서 정신집중과 긴장이완 수준의 변화 형태가 분석되었다. 개인별로 각각의 슈팅에 대한 정신집중 및 긴장이완 수준 변화는 네 유형으로 분류되었으며, 이 변화 유형은 양궁 선수들의 경기력을 평가하는 신뢰성 있는 지표로 나타났다. 우수 선수의 경우 정신 집중과 긴장이완 수준이 슈팅과정의 진행에 따라 동시에 증가하는 형태로 나타났으며, 중급 선수의 경우 정신 집중도는 증가하는 반면 긴장 이완 수준은 감소하는 결과를 보여 주었다. 실시간으로 제공되는 정신 집중과 긴장 이완 수준의 변화는 양궁 선수들의 경기력 평가뿐만 아니라 훈련 시에 유익한 피드백이 되었다.

Background: Hemispatial neglect is defined as the failure to attend, report, respond, or orient toward meaningful stimuli provided in the contralateral side of a brain lesion. Objects: This study was conducted to find out the effect of dynamic trunk equilibirum exercise for stroke patients with hemi-spatial neglect. Methods: This study included 21 stroke subjects, randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The exercise program consisted of 5 sessions of 20 minutes per week during 4 weeks. The line-bisection test, the Albert test, the balance function score, the Berg balance scale, the postural assessment scale for stroke and the modified Barthel index were measured before and after training. All data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 for Windows. Between-group and within-group comparison was analyzed by using Independent t-test and Paired t-test respectively. Results: The results of study were as follows: There were significant differences between before and after intervention in both group (p<.05). There were significant differences in the line-bisection test, Albert test, balance function score, Berg balance scale, postural assessment scale for stroke and modified Barthel index between the experimental group and the control group (p<.05). Conclusion: Dynamic trunk equilibrium exercise had a positive effect on patients' neglect, balance ability and activities of daily living. Further studies are required to generalize the results of this study.

Objectives : Cognitive therapy is the most extensively researched psychological treatment for nonpsychotic unipolar outpatient depressive disorders. This review focused on the utility of this approach in severe or chronic depressive disorders, in relapse prevention and also on the potential benefits of combining cognitive therapy with medication. Methods : The author reviewed original studies and quantitative analyses on the effects of cognitive therapy, predictors of response, and neuroimaging studies of cognitive therapy in major depressive disorder. The sources used for the literature search were data bases : PubMed, EMBASE, CDSR on the internet, references in papers or books. Results : This review suggests that cognitive therapy is as effective as antidepressant medication in severe depressive disorders. And cognitive therapy can be an effective alternative to antidepressant medication. Patients benefited significantly more from combined cognitive therapy and antidepressant treatment than from either treatment alone. Most importantly, the addition of cognitive therapy to usual treatment appears to protect against future relapse in individuals known to be at high risk of repeated episodes of depression. In addition, subjects who received cognitive therapy showed significantly greater improvements in chronic depression than receiving antidepressant medication. Pooled data suggests that there is a significant relationship between the therapist's level of training or experience, the type of therapy used and patient outcome. Recent functional imaging studies examining brain changes following cognitive therapy report a variety of regional effects, but there is no consistent pattern across the few published studies. Conclusion : Cognitive therapy has proved beneficial in treating depressive patients. Despite empirical data supporting its efficacy, there are still problems in gaining access to cognitive therapy in clinical practice.

The previous studies showed that the visual imagery activated the occipital and posterior inferior temporal area of the brain, and the damage to the occipital cortex impaired the visual mental imagery. We studied current-source distribution of electroencephalography (EEG) to observe neuronal activity during imagery tennis playing. Eleven healthy volunteers were enrolled. All volunteers were right-handed males and novices for tennis playing. The mean age of them was 24.9 years. The EEGs were recorded on the scalp electrodes located according to the International 10~20 System. The number of electrodes was 25 channels including subtemporal electrodes. The EEG recording session was 13 min including 5 segments: resting-I, scenery-slide show, resting-II, watching tennis-game video, and imagery-tennis playing. The recoding durations were 3, 2, 3, 2, and 3 min respectively. Five 'artifact free 3-sec segments' were selected in each segment of 'imagery-tennis playing' and 'resting-II'. We did the frequency domain analysis with the EEG segments using a distributed model of current-source analysis. The statistical-nonparametric maps (SnPMs) were obtained between the segments of 'imagery-tennis playing' and the segments of 'resting-II' (p<0.01). The significant change of current-source density was observed only in alpha-2 frequency band (10~12 Hz). The current-sourcedensity was increased in the hippocampus, parahippocampus, and occipital fusiform gyrus in the right cerebral hemisphere (p<0.01). Imaginary-tennis playing may activate the hippocampal-occipital alpha networks of nondominant hemisphere.

이 연구의 목적은 신체활동이 마이오카인 발현에 미치는 영향을 보고자 문헌고찰을 하였다. 신체적인 활동은 제2형 당뇨, 심혈관질환, 대장암, 치매 및 우울증과 같은 질환을 예방하는 역할을 하고 있다. 그리고 마이오카인(myokine)은 운동 훈련에 의해 분비되는 호르몬으로 뇌성장이나 알츠하이머 같은 질환 예방에 도움을 준다. 운동수행과정에서 수축하는 근육으로부터 분비되는 항염증 마이오카인의 생성과 대사 조절에 필요한 분비 활성화가 건강증진에 중요한 요인으로 보고 있다. 인체 골격근에서 분비되는 마이오카인 가운데 IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-15 등은 근육비대(hypertrophy)와 세포(myogenesis) 및 혈관생성(angiogenesis) 등의 조절에 관여한다. IL-6는 AMPK 활성화로 인한 대사중 지방 산화를 촉진시키는 작용을 하고, IL-1Ra, IL-10 과 sTNF-R 는 염증성 싸이토카인 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 분비를 억제한다. IL-15는 저항 운동시 근수축을 통한 발현량이 증가하어 근육 성장의 중요 합성요인으로 작용한다. 한편 IL-7 및 IL-8도 신호 전달 수용체 C-X-C를 통해 혈관신생을 촉진시킨다.

하나의 프레스로 여러 종류의 부품을 소량으로 생산하는 중 소형 공장에서는 부품 생산 과정에 발생하는 소리가 다양하게 나타난다. 이에 우리는 제품의 생산 순간의 소리를 인식하여 제품의 양 불량을 판별하는 시스템을 계층형 시간적 메모리(HTM Hierarchical Temporal Memory) 기술을 이용하여 개발하였다. HTM 이론은 인간 두뇌의 신피질(neocortex)의 동작 원리를 컴퓨터에 접목시킨 이론이다. 이는 실세계에 대한 시공간적인 패턴을 계층적으로 기억하는 것으로 기존의 인식 기술보다 여러 경우에 인식률이 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있다. 우리는 이 HTM 기술을 소리 인식에 적용하여 부품에 대한 양 불량 판별 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발 결과를 검증하기 위해 실제 공장에서 부품 생산 순간의 다양한 소리들을 녹음하고, 소리 HTM 네트워크를 구성한 후, 학습과 훈련을 반복하여 해당 부품의 불량여부를 판정하도록 하였다. 그 결과 잡음이 많은 생산 현장에서도 판정의 정확도가 높은 것으로 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to use P300 latency to determine whether methods of motor learning in terms of massed and distributed practice can affect motor sequential learning in healthy adults. Methods: Twenty-four healthy subjects participated in this study. They were randomly allocated into three groups: a 10 minute, a 12 hour, and a 24 hour group. In the SRT task, eight numbers were adopted as auditory stimuli. During an experiment, participants were instructed to press the matching key as quickly and accurately as possible when one of the eight numbers was presented randomly. The subjects practiced for three sessions, each of which comprised five blocks of 40 serial reaction time tasks. While they practiced during these three sessions, P300 latency was measured. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA. Results: The P300 latency of Fz, Cz, and Pz decreased in all groups except for the Fz area of the 10 min group. Overall, the P300 latency of the 10 min group showed a smaller decrease compared with the 12 hr and 24 hr groups. Statistically, no significant differences in the Fz and Cz areas were observed among the three groups. The P300 latency in the Pz area of the 10 min group showed a significantly smaller decrease compared with the other groups. Conclusion: These findings suggest that short-term sequential motor training can alter brain functions such as the P300 latency. We also found that better acquisition of a motor skill was obtained with distributed practice of a task than with massed practice.

This study compared the effects of black, white, and red ginseng extracts (WGE, RGE, BGE, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) on learning and memory deficits associated with scopolamine treatment (SCOP, 2 mg/kg, i.p.). Tacrine (THA, 10 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as a positive control. Ginseng significantly reversed SCOP-induced memory impairment in the passiveavoidance test and also reduced escape latency in training trials of the Morris water maze test. The increased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity produced by SCOP was significantly inhibited by WGE and RGE (p<0.001). SCOP administration had no effect on choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, but RGE and BGE significantly increased ChAT activity (p<0.05). SCOP administration increased oxidative damage in the brain. Treatment of amnesic mice with ginseng extracts decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and restored superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity to control levels. These results suggest that black ginseng enhances cognitive activity by regulation of cholinergic enzymes and antioxidant systems.
