This study was performed to evaluate sedation with quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) analysis in dogs. EEG is used to evaluate objectively the effects of CNS acting with brain and behavioral changes. Especially, spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF 95) parameter is an effective method to determine the sedative status. The SEF 95 is the frequency below 95% of the total power. Twelve healthy intact male Miniature Schnauzer dogs, which did not show any neurological abnormalities and disease, were used for the study. EEG electrodes were inserted in subcutaneous tissue over the calvaria without entering adjacent muscles. The EEG data were acquired and analyzed by EEG raw wave and spectral edge frequency 95 analysis. After the administration of sedatives, the SEF 95 values were shown the significant changes compared with the normal state In all groups (p<0.05). It is suggested that SEF 95 analysis is useful method for assessing the state of sedation in dogs.

Electroencephalogram(EEG) would be the most objective psychophysiological research technique on human errors though few research has been taken yet. This study aimed to get characteristics of human error while committing simple Odd-Ball tasks by utilizing the power spectrum technique of EEG data. Each experiment was composed of 3 tasks with different rules, and three young undergraduate students participated in this study as paid subjects. The result showed that subject and the interaction of subject and task factors were statistically significant on variation of power of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ bands which implied there would exist groups with homogeneity in their response. And though the variation of band powers due to task factors were not so great as to get statistical significance, it implied that the task requiring decoding process would be more strange to human beings than the task merely requiring psychological recall process.

Every movement, perception and thought we perform is associated with distinct neural activation patterns. Neurons in the brain communicate with each other by sending electrical impulses that produce currents. These currents give rise to electrical fields that can be measured outside the head. It shows some variation on the electroencephalographic signals. In recent devices, the EEG signals measured from head surface are a sum of all the momentary brain activation. With these EEG signals, it is difficult to distinguish the patterns correlated with a certain event from the signals. However, the system must discriminate some patterns with some events especially for any kind of device as a brain control interface system. In this experiment, the sensory-motor cortex of humans has been extensively studied. Activation related to several movements on both sides of the sensory-motor cortices in imaginary. The activation patterns during imagination of several movements resemble the activation patterns during preparation of movements. The result represents the system based on the optimal filters discriminated at least 60% of mental imageries.

뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)는 뇌 신경세포가 정보를 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 전기적인 신호를 두피 표면에서 측정한 것이다. 이러한 뇌파는 비침습적인 방법으로 전기적인 신호를 측정하며 측정시 여러 잡파(artifact)가 섞이기 쉽다. 이러한 잡파는 뇌의 정보처리과정에 대한 유용한 정보를 담고 있는 뇌파를 분석하는데 방해가 되므로 이를 제거하기 위한 노력이 계속되어 왔다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 보다 적극적인 방향으로 잡파가 섞인 뇌파의 특성을 분석하여 이를 통해 제어 시스템 등과 같은 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 알아보았다. 대표적인 잡파인 eye_blinking, eye_rolling, muscle 등이 각각 포함된 뇌파에 대해서 선형 및 비선형 분석을 실시함으로써 유의미한 특성 차이를 나타내었다.

We present a new EEG waveform detection method, based on the search of distinctive line-segments. The method is based on the assumption that EEG waveform morphology is characterized by a sequence of its distinctive line-segments and their structural features. In this method, the distinctive line segments are first searched for, and the structural feature analysis is performed on the found line-segment sequence. Experiments of detecting epileptic spikes are performed on four different subjects.

With the stochastic process which consists of the harmonic sinusoid and the white nosie, the power spectrum of background EEG is estimated by the Pisarenko Harmonic Decomposition. The estimating results are examined and compared with the results from the maximum entropy spectral estimation, and the optimal order of this model can be determined from the eigen value's fluctuation of autocorrelation of background EEG. From the comparing results, this paper ensures that this method is possible to analyze the power spectrum of background EEG.

Much research has been conducted to judge aesthetic value for a single type of stimuli, but research to determine aesthetic value when two kinds of stimuli are presented at the same time is not explored in depth. In this paper, we measure the difference between the presentation of visual stimuli like general image and the presentation of signboard image including text stimuli using EEG. In the experiment, two oddball tasks were performed for general images and signboard images, and EEG changes according to the aesthetic value of the images were measured. As a result, the change of ERP in signboard image was larger than that of general image. We confirmed that more visual information was received and processed when two stimuli were presented at the same time.

EEG 생리신호의 분석은 국내에서도 최근에 활발하게 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 시계열을 이용한 분석법은 통계학의 전문적인 지식을 요구하고 있기 때문에 연구에 많은 어려움이 있다. 그러므로 감성과학 연구자들이 보다 쉽게 이해하고 분석할 수 있는 Tool의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 EEG 생리신호 분석을 위한 모형분석 시스템과 생리신호 분류를 위한 판별분류 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 시스템에서는 신호분석을 위한 그래프 작성, 자극 신호에 대한 모형식별 방법의 제시, 모형에 대한 추정 및 진단 기준에 따른 최적의 모형선정 방법 등을 지원한다. 또한 선정된 모형에 이해 모수를 추정하고 이를 이용하여 통계에 대한 지식이 없이도 쉽게 각 뇌파 신호들을 판별 분류할 수 있다.

본 논문의 목적은 음주섭취로 인한 혈중 알코올 농도에 따른 뇌의 활동도변화를 측정, 분석하는데 있다. 1차원 시계열데이터인 EEG신호는 생체 비선형 동역학 시스템으로부터 발생하는 Deterministic Nonlinear Chaos신호로써 무작위적인 신호와는 구분되어질 수 있다. EEG시계열데이터를 위상공간에 적절한 어트랙터로 재구성하여 상관차원 최대발산지수 등의 카오스 지수들을 추출하여보면 EEG시계열데이터가 무작위적인 계에서 발생하는 랜덤한 신호가 아닌 카오스계에서 기인함을 알 수 있고, 인간의 정신상태에 따른 뇌의 활동도를 정성적, 정량적으로 판별해 볼 수 있다. 이러한 카오스 분석방법을 토대로 음주전의 뇌의 활동도와 음주후 혈중알코올 농도에 따른 뇌의 활동도변화를 EEG의 카오스 지수들의 변화를 통해 분석해 보았다.

생체신호는 생리학이나 해부학에서 주로 다루어졌으나, 최근 컴퓨터 시스템의 발전으로 공학적인 접근이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 뇌의 정보를 보여주는 EEG(Electroencephalogram) 신호의 각 주파수 대역 별 에너지 분석은 의학분야에서도 매우 큰 비중을 두고 있다. 특정 뇌신경 관련질환이 갖는 대역별 주파수 특징과 Spike등을 분석하는 것은 치료와 예방에 아주 좋은 방법의 하나가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 신호처리에서 높은 효율을 보이는 Wavelet Transform을 이용하여 알츠하이머병의 EEG 신호를 분석하였다.
