본 연구는 구강 호흡이 뇌기능에 미치는 영향을 뇌전도(EEG : electroencephalogram)를 통해 관찰하고자 한다. 신체가 건강한 12명의 피험자(남성: 6명, 여성: 6명, 나이: 21~27, 비흡연자)는 뇌파를 측정하기 위해 두피에 전극을 부착한 상태로 휴지기 상태에서 비강(Rest_N) 및 구강 호흡(Rest_M)을 수행하였고, 영어 대본을 사용한 청각언어자극이 주어지는 상황에서 비강(Eng_N) 및 구강 호흡(Eng_M)을 수행하였다. 각각의 뇌파는 뇌의 기능별로 크게 4 구역(R1~R4)으로 나뉘어 FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)을 통해 각각의 채널별(e.g., Pf1 and Pf2) 및 주파수 대역별(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$, ${\theta}$)로 절대 파워(Absolute Power) 비율을 살펴보았다. 도출된 결과에서는 Rest_N과 Rest_M 상태의 뇌파는 서로 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비강 호흡 수행 중 청각언어자극이 주어졌을 때(Rest_N/Eng_N)의 뇌파를 비교했을 경우, 뇌파의 활동이 휴지기 상태의 뇌파 활동보다 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 같은 조건상에서 구강호흡을 했을 때(Rest_M/Eng_M)는 비강 호흡을 실시했을 때와 달리 대부분의 뇌 구역과 주파수 대역에서 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 동일한 조건의 자극에도 불구하고 구강 호흡을 하는 경우는 뇌기능의 변화가 비강 호흡과 다른 결과를 나타내었다.

뇌파는 초기에 원숭이가 모터로 팔을 조작하기 위한 방법에 관한 연구로 시작되었다. 최근에는, 측정한 뇌파를 치매 환자의 치매 진행 정도를 늦추거나 집중력결핍 과잉행동장애 아이들의 집중력을 높이기 위한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그리고 저가의 뇌파 측정 장치가 출시되면서 게임 인터페이스로도 사용된다. 뇌파로 게임을 제어할 때의 문제점은 사람마다 평균 진폭, 평균 파장 그리고 평균 진동 횟수가 다르다는 것이다. 뇌파 차이는 뇌파로 게임을 제어할 때 형평성 문제를 발생시키기 때문에 뇌파를 정규화해서 사용하는 방법이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 정규분포를 사용해서 측정한 뇌파를 정규화하고 제어로 사용할 파형을 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해서 뇌파 변환 과정을 7단계로 나누어 처리하는 프레임워크를 제안하고 각 단계에 필요한 계산과정을 기술한다. 실험에서는 BCI 영어단어 학습 프로그램에 제안한 방법을 적용하여 두 피험자 파형을 비교했다. 실험에서는 두 피험자의 파형 유사 정도를 상관계수로 측정했다. 명상 값은 제안한 방법을 적용할 때 약 13%가 증가되었고 집중 값은 약 8%정도 증가되었다. 제안한 정규화 방법은 뇌파에 반영된 개인의 특성을 줄여서 제어에 적합한 파형으로 변환하기 때문에 게임과 같은 응용프로그램에 적합하다.

As smartphone usage has increased recently, so has smartphone addiction. Many of the smartphone users, however, do not even recognize the risk of smartphone addiction. In this experiment, smartphone users have been categorized into two groups by smartphone addiction measure (S-measure) developed by 2011 National Information Society Agency (NIA): A high risk group and a normal group. The changes of brain waves have been observed when the subjects were watching emotional videos of anger, sadness, happiness, and fear. The results show that the values of FP1 and FP2 (frontal lobe) theta band of the high risk group have been measured to be high, which indicate anxiety disorder. Although happiness and fear videos showed no difference between these groups, sadness and anger videos showed significantly different results for these groups: the brain waves of the high risk group showed higher values than those of the normal group. Therefore, this experiment showed that the high risk group takes feelings of sadness and anger more sensitively than the normal group.

Recently, consumers' evaluation and purchase of online design has been increasing due to the popularization of designing through personal computers, but there has not been enough studies on consumers' brain wave responses depending on the change of PC monitor's color. Therefore, this study investigated how brain waves changed when different background colors with gray patterns were presented through PC monitors. Six background colors with same tone of slightly low saturation were selected, including ivory, yellow, pink, green, blue and pure white as a base color. The brightness and characteristics of color used were analyzed using the luminance meter and color scales. Brain wave was measured by EEG measurement equipment. Brain wave measurement was carried out with 9 subjects at 6 points: F3, F4, T3, T4, O1, and O2. Stimuli were shown for 15 seconds each and black screens were displayed for 15 seconds between each stimulus. As results, the brain waves at O1 responded sensitively by different background colors, followed by F4 and T4. Brain index such as 'RT', 'RA', 'RG', 'RSA', and 'RAHB' showed significant differences depending on the background color at O1, whereas 'RST' differed at F4. Yellow and blue backgrounds pair was the only stimuli that showed significant differences in six brain indices mentioned. Yellow background had higher value of 'RG' at O1 and higher 'RST' at F4, indicating yellow background enhanced concentration. Blue background activated 'RT', 'RA', 'RSA', 'RAHB' at O1, meaning blue background induced calm and stable state.

The analysis of EEG data is an important task in the domain of Brain Computer Interface (BCI). In general, this task is extremely difficult because EEG data is very noisy and contains many artifacts and consists of mixtures of several brain waves. The P300 component of the evoked potential is a relatively evident signal which has a large positive wave that occurs around 300 msec after a task-relevant stimulus. Thus automatic detection of P300 is useful in BCI. To this end, in this paper we employ a method of reference-based independent component analysis (ICA) which overcomes the ordering ambiguity in the conventional ICA. We show here. that ICA incorporating with prior knowledge is useful in the task of automatic P300 detection.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the stress variation according to Hitler's residence using EEG data. Hitler's residence, one of the most monumental buildings, is designed as a grand and overbearing space, giving the visitor a sense of psychological pressure when moving from a high space to low space. Based on the above background, this paper constructs Hitler's residence using virtual reality and measure the changes of the beta waves which are known to be related with stress when the floor level moves from high to low space in Hitler's residence built in virtual space. The results of the experiment are as follows; when moving from high to low space, the subjects' stress was high and at the same time brain waves variation was increased greatly due to changes in space.

This study aimed to determine the effects of floral fragrances on human brain waves and moods. A total of 44 subjects participated in this experiment. Group 1 consisted of 11 male and 14 female college students with a mean age of 24.5 years (${\pm}2.23$) and Group 2 consisted of 10 males and 9 females with a mean age of 54.3 years (${\pm}2.98$). Subjects were exposed to floral fragrances of Rosa hybrida, 'Hera' (hereafter referred to as "rose"), Cymbidium faberi (hereafter referred to as "orchid"), or odorless control flowers (hereafter referred to as "control"). Experiments took place in three rooms (rose, orchid, and control). Electroencephalographs (EEGs) were recorded during exposure to the odors and the data were processed using quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) techniques. The changing EEG patterns were analyzed by brain mapping and compressed spectral arrays, and the subjects' preferences (hedonic evaluations) were quantified with an A1 index. Increased activation of absolute alpha waves was verified on six of the eight EEG channels, with the right frontal and left occipital lobes exhibiting no changes and the left parietal region showing the greatest activation. According to the QEEG measurements in the electrode sites over the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, the strongest absolute alpha waves were induced in the parietal lobes, followed by the temporal lobes, with the other lobes showing no significant changes. On brain maps, the orchid fragrance induced greater absolute alpha and absolute mid-beta activities compared with the rose and control fragrances, and the rose fragrance induced high absolute mid-beta activation. To identify emotional responses to floral fragrances, the subjects were requested to fill in a questionnaire and the resulting odor-related emotional descriptors were analyzed using semantic differential and factor analysis. Principal component analysis identified "elegant" as the first principal component describing the floral fragrance, followed by "refreshing" and "aromatic." The subjects gave orchid higher scores for "elegant" and "refreshing," while finding rose more "aromatic." Differences in hedonic evaluation revealed by the A1 index appeared in the 65-115 sec range of scent exposure time. The subjects with ages of around 50 years showed olfactory preferences throughout the entire experimental time of 160 sec, most markedly in the later time segment (115-165 sec), showing an increasing preference with increasing exposure time. We conclude that rose fragrance can improve concentration by creating an aromatic environment conducive to a concentrated and calm state of mind, and orchid fragrance can make people feel pampered and relaxed by creating an elegant and refreshing environment.

In the 21st century, fashion films are frequently used throughout the fashion industry. In particular, as videos have become an essential element and a communication tool of social media, they are becoming even more important in the world of fashion. In this study, different types of short-length fashion films (< 0:60) in current use were derived, and the effects of on the cognitive and emotional responses of users were analyzed using electroencephalogram(EEG) findings. EEG measurements were performed using Epoc+ on 31 healthy women aged 20-29 years after viewing six types of fashion films[fiction/well-made, fiction/user generated content(UGC), documentary/well-made, documentary/UGC, art/well-made, and art/UGC] in random order. The results demonstrate differences among four types of films. Specifically, alpha waves in the frontal lobe decreased more while watching documentary/UGC films than while watching art/well-made films. Gamma waves in the temporal lobe decreased more while watching fiction/well-made films than while watching documentary/UGC films. Furthermore, theta waves in the occipital lobe increased more while watching fiction/well-made films than while watching art/UGC films. These findings suggest that different types of fashion films can stimulate different parts of the brain that process thinking, cognition, emotion, and visual and auditory information and consequently evoke emotional responses.

Objectives : Human physiological changes in the state of qigong has been measured using EEG(Electroencephalography), functional MRI(functional Magnetic Resonance Image), EAV(Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll) and SQUID(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) measurements. Methods & Results : EEGs were measured to study the differences between Qigong masters and Qi receiver on the changes of EEG. During Qigong, an alpha waves were increased. The power spectra indicate that the peak frequency of alpha waves increased during Qigong. Qi receiver's EEG signals seemed to affected by the state of himself. Brain activation did not observed when qigong master concentrates the Qi at Laogong(P8). But a localization of fMRI signal in the sensory cortex was observed by electric acupuncture stimulation at Laogong(P8). Five phase deviation of EAV were clearly changed in the both cases of Qigong master and Qi receiver. When a Qigong master concentrates the Qi at Yintang, Laogong(P8), Qihai(CV6) meridian points during Qigong state, the change of magnetic field around acupoints Yintang, Laogong points has been measured using 40-Channel DROS-SQUID apparatus. After smoothing process of the continuously measured magnetic signal around acupoints for a few minutes, we could observe that a series of peaks, magnitude of -1.0~2.5pT appeared. But there was no significant difference in changes of magnetic signal around acupoints. Physical signals of magnetocardiogram has been measured by using 2-Channel DROS SQUID(Magnetocardiogram). Physical signals of magnetocardiogram were clealy changed at the ST segments after S-wave when qigong master concentrates the Qi.
