Objectives : This study aimed to assess the effects of incense smokes of 'Cheung-Woon' on the concentration and EEG in healthy individuals. Methods : A total of 48 healthy volunteers participated in this study. The volunteers were examined with K-MAS, CBT(Corsi block tapping task), and EEG before and after smelling the incense smokes of 'Cheung-Woon'. K-MAS measured the recalled words, and CBT measured the recalled positions and orders of the color boxes. EEG measured the relative power of ${\theta}$ wave, ${\alpha}$ wave, SMR wave, mid-${\beta}$ wave, high-${\beta}$ wave, ${\gamma}$ wave and T(concentraion index T = (SMR wave + mid-${\beta}$ wave) / ${\theta}$ wave). 'Cheung-Woon' consists of 7 herbal powder, known as a useful effect on the concentration and memory. Results : After smelling 'Cheung-Woon', K-MAS were increased significantly(p<0.05). In relative power of ${\theta}$ wave, F4, T3, and P4 were decreased significantly(p<0.05) and P3 was also decreased significantly(p<0.01). In the relative power of ${\alpha}$ wave, SMR wave, and mid-${\beta}$ wave, the values were not significant. In the relative power of high-${\beta}$ wave, Fp1, and P4 were increased significantly(p<0.05). In relative power of ${\gamma}$ wave, T3 were increased significantly (p<0.05). In T value, F4, T3, T4, and P4 were increased significantly(p<0.05) and P3 were also increased significantly(p<0.01). Conclusions : This results show that smelling incense smokes of 'Cheung-Woon' is an effective way of increasing concentration and memory.

EEG 신호 중, 알파파는 안정시에 우세하게 나타나며 베타파는 흥분시에 우세하게 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 동양의 한의학에서는 상대적으로 길고 고른 호흡일 때가 짧고 변화가 심한 호흡일 때 보다 안정된 상태를 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 EEG의 안정상태를 정량적으로 나타내기 위한 뇌파의 정량화 지표와 호흡의 안정상태를 정량적으로 나타내기 위한 호흡 정량화 지표를 정의하여 안정상태에 있어서 EEG와 호흡의 연관성을 찾아내고자 하였다. 총 20명의 피험자에 대해 각각 20분간의 실험을 통해 본 연구의 유효성을 검증하였다.

Problem solving and/or decision making process usually encountered in human living consists of a sequence of human behaviors based upon his/her knowledge. Thus, Rasmussen introduced Skill-Rule-Knowledge paradigm to countermeasure human errors that can occur in Nuclear Power Plants. Unfortunately however, it was not so easy as expected since objective evidence have not been obtainable with conventional research techniques. With the help of EEG band pawer ratio techniques, this study tried to get psycho-physiological symptoms of human errors, if any, while human beings perform knowledge-based behaviors such as simple arithmetic computations with different difficulty level. A set of simulated works was carried out with a computer station. Four kinds of arithmetic computation tasks were given to 10 health male under-graduate students on different day individually, and during the experiment, EEG and ECG was measured continuously for objective psycho-physiological analysis. According to the results, ${\alpha}$/(${\alpha}+{\beta}$) as well as ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ band power ratio were sensitive to task difficulty level which consistently decreased both. However, any one of them failed to reveal the influence of tasks with different difficulty level in the aspect of task duration time. On the contrary, Heart Rate Variability was more suggestive than expected. To make a conclusion, it can be said that band power of EEG waves will be helpful in not only assessment of work difficulty level but also assessment of workers' skill development if supported by cardiac function such as HRV.

Early detection of mild cognitive impairment can help prevent the progression of dementia. The purpose of this study was to design and validate a machine learning model that automatically differential diagnosed patients with mild cognitive impairment and identified cognitive decline characteristics compared to a control group with normal cognition using resting-state quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) with eyes closed. In the first step, a rectified signal was obtained through a preprocessing process that receives a quantitative EEG signal as an input and removes noise through a filter and independent component analysis (ICA). Frequency analysis and non-linear features were extracted from the rectified signal, and the 3067 extracted features were used as input of a linear support vector machine (SVM), a representative algorithm among machine learning algorithms, and classified into mild cognitive impairment patients and normal cognitive adults. As a result of classification analysis of 58 normal cognitive group and 80 patients in mild cognitive impairment, the accuracy of SVM was 86.2%. In patients with mild cognitive impairment, alpha band power was decreased in the frontal lobe, and high beta band power was increased in the frontal lobe compared to the normal cognitive group. Also, the gamma band power of the occipital-parietal lobe was decreased in mild cognitive impairment. These results represented that quantitative EEG can be used as a meaningful biomarker to discriminate cognitive decline.

경동맥경화증은 대뇌혈류를 감소시킬 수 있고, 대뇌신경세포의 활성도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 저자들은 경동맥스텐트삽입술(carotid-artery stenting, CAS) 후 뇌혈류예비능의 회복이 뇌파의 파워스펙트럼에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 우선 19명의 CAS 대상자들을 모집하였다. SPECT의 subtraction imaging과 뇌파를 두 번의 시기에 검사하였다. 두 번의 시기는 CAS 시술 직전과 시술하고 1개월이 지난 시점이었다. EEG는 acetazolamide 주입 전(pre-ACZ EEG)과 주입 후(pre-ACZ EEG)에 기록하였다. 검사를 모두 하지 못했거나 뇌파기록의 질이 분석에 적절하지 못했던 환자를 제외하고 최종적으로 7명의 환자를 대상으로 연구하였다. 저자들은 각각의 대뇌 반구에서 spectral ratio (SR)를 구했다. SR은 빠른파형의 파워스펙트럼 수치를 느린파형의 파워스펙트럼 수치로 나눈 값으로 정의하였다. 또한 저자들은 저자들은 반구간인덱스(inter-hemispheric index of spectral ratio, IHISR)를 이용하여 양쪽 대뇌 반구 사이의 파워스펙트럼 수치를 비교하였고, 파워스펙트럼의 변화와 뇌혈류예비능의 변화 사이의 연관성을 관찰하였다. 총 7명의 환자 중 6명의 환자에서 CAS 시행 후 스텐트를 삽입한 쪽의 뇌혈류예비능이 호전되었다. 편측 경동맥경화증이 있었던 3명의 환자들에서는 모든 환자에서 CAS가 pre-ACZ EEG에서 SR을 증가시켰고, post-ACZ EEG의 IHISR을 증가시켰다. SR과 IHISR의 증가는 뇌혈류예비능의 증가와 연관성이 있었다. 반면에 양쪽 경동맥경화증이 있었던 나머지 환자들의 결과는 복잡한 양상을 띄었다. 경동맥협착증이 한쪽에만 있는 환자에서 pre-ACZ EEG의 SR과 post-ACZ EEG의 IHISR가 CAS를 시술한 후에 뇌혈류예비능의 변화를 평가할 수 있는 유용한 전기생리학적 지표가 될 수 있다는 것을 본 연구의 결과를 통해 알 수 있었다. 그러나 경동맥협착증이 양쪽 모두에 있었던 환자들에서는 결과가 복잡한 양상으로 나타났다. 이는 양쪽 협착이 있는 경우에는 뇌의 혈역학이 복잡하기 때문일 것으로 판단하였다.

In this paper, a multi-adaptive filter is proposed for removing EOG and the 60 Hz power supply noise from EEG measured in the frontal lobe and the feedback output control method is implemented for biofeedback. The multi-adaptive filter has been implemented on the TMS320C6711 DSP system and the feedback output control algorithm has been realized by calculating the ratio of alpha wave on the TMS320C31 DSP system with real time performance. Through the experiment using the implemented multi-adaptive filter and feedback output controller, we demonstrate that the proposed adaptive filter effectively removes EOG and the 60 Hz power supply noise from the measured EEG in the frontal lobe and the feedback algorithm controls the level of stimulation by the ratio of the alpha wave.

We investigated the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) stimulus on electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha activity and heart rate variability (HRV) from electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements with various stimulus durations at acupoint PC9. The alpha activity in the EEG and the ratio of low frequency power and high frequency power (LHR) in the HRV, a reflection of sympathovagal activity, were increased and decreased, respectively, after PMF stimulus of 3 min. Our spectral analysis quantitatively proved that the changes in the EEG alpha activity were consistent with an autonomic function in the ECG. These findings suggest that appropriate PMF stimulus results in the same effect as that of acupuncture applied to the acupoint PC9, which is closely related to the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system.

This study investigated the psychological and physiological responses to the sound of car horns produced by different. manufacturers. Ten female college students listened to the sound of the horns while their EEG responses on 6 sites were being measured, and rated each hem on psychological scales. Their EEG and psychological responses were investigated as to whether the responses were related to the loudness, sharpness, tonality, and roughness of the horns. The results indicated that the subjects felt more 'dominated' as the loudness and sharpness increased, that the subjects felt more 'pleasant' as the sharpness increased, that the subjects felt more 'dominant' as the tonality increased, and that the subjects felt more 'aroused' as the roughness increased. The physiological results showed that the fast alpha wave in the occipital lobe decreased in the relative power as the loudness, sharpness, and tonality increased, and that the delta wave in the occipital lobe increased and the slow alpha wave in the frontal lobe decreased in the relative power as the roughness increased.

The pattern recognition of the complicated grasping operation based on electroencephalography (simply named as EEG) is very helpful on realtime control of the robotic hand. In the paper, a new spectral feature analysis method based on Band Pass Filter (simply named as BPF) and Power Spectral Analysis (simply named as PSA) is presented for discriminating the complicated grasping operations. By analyzing the spectral features of grasping operations with the use of the two-channel EEG measurement system and the pattern recognition of the BP neural network, the degree of recognition by the traditional spectral feature method based on FFT and the new spectral features method based on BPF and PSA could be compared. The results show that the proposed method provides highly improved performance than the traditional one because the new method has two obvious advantages such as high recognition capability and the fast learning speed.
