The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of Neuro Feedback training by observing the pre and post brainwave measurement results of about 50 (experimental group 25. comparative group 25) subjects who have shown psychological difficulties in studying. attention deficit, and personalities. The study took place at Neuro Feedback training Center B. in between the months of July 2006 and May 2007. The methodology involved in the study included the Coloring Analysis Program of the Brain Quotient Test. As the brain waves are adjusted by timeseries linear analysis. the brain function quotients can reflect the functional states of the brain. Through the test, three parameters relaxation, attention and concentration-were initially measured for one minute each and the lowest parameter out of the three was selected as the training mode or improvement target. The training took place two or three times a week. for about 40 to 60 minutes per session. Because the clients have come to the training center at different times. the researcher sampled the results of only those who had attended more than 30 training sessions. The tool used to measure the psychological reaction was POMS (Profile of Mood State). while the tool used to measure the emotional and attention-deficit characteristics was the Amen Clinic ADD Type questionnaire. Hypothesis testing included t-test. The result of the study showed the Theta: SMR ratio of (left)p = .013. (right) p = .019. The result also confirmed the differences of both ATQ(left) p = .011. (right)p = .030 and SQ(left) p = .017. (right) p = .022. The result confirmed of emotional p = .000. attention-deficit characteristics p = .000. The result of the study suggest Neuro Feedback technique's possibility in positively affecting the subjects' mental state and attention-deficit characteristics.

In recent years, studies about multitasking becomes more important. During multitasking, operators can feel frustration when they are interrupted during the task and frustration can affect operator's emotional state and performance. However there is no research on measuring the frustration quantitatively in multitasking environment. In this paper, we suggested quantitative measurement of frustration during multitasking. In order to measure the frustration, we made a mathematical representation with emotional decay model and the initial intensity of frustration based on cognitive closure theory. The amount of initial intensity could be represented as the ratio of actual remaining time to expected remaining time. By the experiment, we measured the frustration during the experiment and compared this values with values of frustration dimension of NASA-TLX. Finally we got the linear regression model with a good accuracy ($R^2=0.986$). This study contributes to measuring the emotion quantitatively by the relation of expected and actual remaining time in multitasking environment.

The present study describes a combination method to recognize the human affective states such as anger, happiness, sadness, or surprise. For this, we extracted emotional features from voice signals and facial expressions, and then trained them to recognize emotional states using hidden Markov model (HMM) and neural network (NN). For voices, we used prosodic parameters such as pitch signals, energy, and their derivatives, which were then trained by HMM for recognition. For facial expressions, on the other hands, we used feature parameters extracted from thermal and visible images, and these feature parameters were then trained by NN for recognition. The recognition rates for the combined parameters obtained from voice and facial expressions showed better performance than any of two isolated sets of parameters. The simulation results were also compared with human questionnaire results.

외부환경을 인식하고 상황을 판단해 자율적으로 행동하는 지능형 서비스 로봇은 앞으로 새로운 시장을 열어줄 것으로 기대되며 이와 관련된 연구와 개발이 빠르게 확대되고 있다. 이러한 서비스 로봇에게 가장 중요한 기능은 인간과의 원활한 상호작용이다. 여기서 말하는 상호작용이란 단순히 인간이 원하는 것을 명령하고, 로봇이 이 명령을 수행하는 것에 그치는 것이 아니라, 로봇이 스스로 인간의 감정을 파악하고, 이에 대한 적절한 로봇 자신의 감정 표출이나 서비스, 행동을 제공함으로써 직접적인 소통이 이루어지는 것을 의미한다. 이렇게 로봇이 자연스럽게 인간과 함께 공존하기 위해서 감성 로봇(Emotional Robot) 분야에서 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 본 논문에서는 국내의 감성 로봇의 연구 현황과 발전 방향에 대해 서술한다.

새로운 기술의 발달과 소비자들의 다양한 요구로 인해 기업들은 소비자들의 시선을 끌기 위해 다양한 차별화 전략을 고심하고 있다. 제품의 아이덴티티나 브랜드 이미지 또한 이러한 차별화 전략 중의 하나로 제품에 새로운 가치를 부여하는 주요한 수단이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소비자에게 형성된 브랜드 이미지 중에서 제품을 사용하면서 형성된 감성적인 이미지를 브랜드 감성 이미지라고 정의하고, 사용자가 제품을 사용하면서 느끼는 여섯 가지 대표감성을 평가하여 국내 대표 휴대폰 브랜드 세 개(A브랜드, C브랜드, S브랜드)의 감성 이미지를 비교해 보았다. 휴대폰을 실제 사용하고 있는 사용자들이 휴대폰을 사용하면서 느꼈던 감성을 평가해 봄으로써 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 이미지, 특히 감성적인 측면에서의 이미지를 평가해 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과만으로 성급하게 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 감성 이미지를 규명하기에는 다소 미흡하지만 향후 연령대, 직업, 성비 등 다양한 인구통계학적 변수를 고려하여 연구를 진행한다면 보다 명확한 브랜드 감성 이미지를 추출할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between personality and psychological responses induced by emotional stimuli (happiness, sadness, anger, boring and stress) for children. Background: Many researches are interested in assertion that there is close correlation between personality and emotion. The relationship between personality and emotion needs to be studied in view of the extended integration, not in view of respective property, because personality is deeply ingrained, and the relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior and emotion can take advantage of individual differences in sensitivities to situational cues and predispositions to emotional state. In particular, studies on the personality and emotion for children are necessary in that childhood is an important period for formation of their personality and emotion expression and regulation. Method: Prior to the experiment, we made parents of 94 children rate personalities of their children, based on Korean Personality Inventory for Children (K-PIC). Results of 64 children without missing answers to all questions were analyzed. 64 children were exposed to five emotional stimuli and were asked to report the classification and intensity of their experienced emotion. Results: Children were classified into two groups of the lower 25% and higher 25% scores in twenty sub-scales of K-PIC, and psychological responses to five emotional stimuli between two groups were compared. Accuracy of emotion experienced by emotional stimuli showed a significant difference between the two groups, the lower and higher scores in Hyperactivity and Adjustment. Also, there was a significant difference in the intensity of experienced emotions between the two groups in Intellectual Screening and Psychosis. Conclusion: Our result has shown that hyperactivity, adjustment, intellectual screening and psychosis influence the accuracy and intensity of emotional responses. Application: This study can offer a guideline to overcome methodological limitation of emotion studies for children and help researcher basically understand and recognize human emotion in HCI.
