본 연구는 정상 성인을 무작위로 급속안구움직임(saccadic eye movement, SEM)군과 의식적손가락움직임(intentional finger movement, IFM) 군으로 구분하여 2주 동안 중재를 실시한 후 숫자외우기 검사와 n-back 검사를 사용하여 인지기능의 변화를 알아보았다. 그 결과 IFM군의 단기기억은 시간이 지날수록 유의하게 상승하였으며, 추적 검사에서는 군간 차이를 나타내었다. IFM군의 n-back은 수행시간, 오류횟수, 정확률에서 시간이 지날수록 유의한 효과를 나타내었다. SEM군의 n-back은 수행시간과 정확률에서 시간이 지날수록 유의한 효과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 인지기능 향상에는 단일 자극인 SEM보다 대뇌겉질을 광범위하게 활성화 시킬 수 있는 다중 자극인 IFM 방법이 인지기능 향상의 중재 방법으로 더 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

This paper describes the control of the hand fixing system attached to the finger rehabilitation robot for the rehabilitation exercise of patient's fingers. The finger rehabilitation robot is used to exercise the finger rehabilitation, and a patient's hand is safely fixed using the hand fixing system. In this paper, the hand fixing system was controlled with PD gains to fix a palm of the hand, and the characteristic test for the hand fixing system was carried out to sense the fixed hand movement of the front and the rear, that of the left and the right, and that of the upper. It is thought that the hand fixing system could safely fix the hand, and the movement of the fixed hand could be perceived using the five-axis force/moment sensor attached to the hand fixing system.

Recently, various devices requiring text input such as mobile phone IPTV, PDA and UMPC are emerging. The frequency of text entry for them is also increasing. This study was focused on the evaluation of Korean text entry interface. Various models to evaluate text entry interfaces have been proposed. Most of models were based on human cognitive process for text input. The cognitive process was divided into two components; visual scanning process and finger movement process. The time spent for visual scanning process was modeled as Hick-Hyman law, while the time for finger movement was determined as Fitts' law. There are three questions on the model-based evaluation of text entry interface. Firstly, are human cognitive processes (visual scanning and finger movement) during the entry of text sequentially occurring as the models. Secondly, is it possible to predict real text input time by previous models. Thirdly, does the human cognitive process for text input vary according to users' text entry speed. There was time gap between the real measured text input time and predicted time. The time gap was larger in the case of participants with high speed to enter text. The reason was found out investigating Eye-Hand Coordination during text input process. Differently from an assumption that visual scan on the keyboard is followed by a finger movement, the experienced group performed both visual scanning and finger movement simultaneously. Arrival Lead Time was investigated to measure the extent of time overlapping between two processes. 'Arrival Lead Time' is the interval between the eye fixation on the target button and the button click. In addition to the arrival lead time, it was revealed that the experienced group uses the less number of fixations during text entry than the novice group. This result will contribute to the improvement of evaluation model for text entry interface.

The purpose of this study is to compare finger tapping (FT) movement of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with normal subjects. A gyrosensor system was used for the measurement of FT movement, because it provides angular velocity free from the gravitational artifact and it can be used during clinical FT test listed in unified PD rating scale (UPDRS). Forty PD patients (age: 65.7 ${\pm}$ 11.1 yrs, H&Y stage:2.3 ${\pm}$ 0.5), 14 age-matched elderly subjects (65${\pm}$3.9 yrs) and 17 healthy young subjects (24${\pm}$2.1yrs) participated in this study. Angular velocity of finger tapping movement was measured in both right and left index finger. As quantitative measures, root-mean-squared (RMS) angular velocity, RMS angle, peak power and total power were used. ANOVA showed that all measures were significantly different among three groups (p<0.001) in all quantitative measures. Post-hoc test revealed that all quantitative measures except peak power in patients with PD were significantly smaller than in both healthy elderly and young subjects (p<0.01). This suggests that the measures developed in this study can distinguish patients with PD from normal subjects.

본 연구는 집중력, 기억력 및 학습 능력의 뇌기능 증진을 위한 의식적인 손 운동에 관련된 연구이다. 우선 효과적인 재활을 위한 손가락 운동 패턴을 연구하였다. 단순한 손가락 운동(Simple Finger Movement ; SFM) 패턴과 의식적인 손가락 운동(Intentional Finger Movement ; IFM)패턴을 비교하였다. 다음으로 각각 두 패턴 운동을 시켜 피험자의 집중력과 학습 능력의 증진을 검증하고자 한다. SFM 패턴과 IFM 패턴의 비교와 집중력과 학습 능력의 증진의 검증은 뇌파(mid $\alpha$파)를 이용하였다. 실험은 먼저 SFM 패턴의 운동을 시키고 다음에 IFM 패턴의 운동을 시키는 실험을 하였다. 결과적으로 IFM 패턴에서 mid $\alpha$ 파의 증가가 이루어졌음을 측정함으로써, IFM 패턴이 뇌의 집중력과 학습 능력을 증진시킨다는 결과를 얻었다.

Communicating devices for the seriously disabled using eye-ball movement or some body movement are proposed. The first one is a device to use image processing, whose input signal is eyeball movement, A feature of this device is that the device can be readily realized using a note-book computer with USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface bus. This device is incorporated with a word processing software called Nearly Ladder. The second one is an emergency call switch which is used by a patient who can move his finger slightly. The patients can switch on the emergency switch only by touching a switch with his finger. The essence of this sensor is a touch sensor. The sensor can be realized using onl...

본 논문에서는 흑백 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 청각 장애인의 의사전달 수단인 지화 동작을 동영상으로 입력받아 인식하여, 편집 가능한 텍스트 문서로 변환하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 일련의 입력 영상들 중에서 흐린 영상과 선명한 영상의 구분은 영상의 잔상을 이용하였고, 촬영된 연속 영상들의 배열로부터 문자 자소를 구하고, 오토마타를 적용하여 완성된 문자를 문서 편집기에 출력시켰다. 획득된 선명한 영상 데이터 중 변화가 심한 손목 부분을 제거한 후, 최대 원형 이동법을 이용하여 손의 무게 중심점을 구하고, 원형 패턴 벡터 알고리즘을 적용하여 지화 해석에 필요한 손을 인식하였다. 손 중심으로부터 거리 스펙트럼을 이용하여 지화 인식에 사용되는 손 모양의 특징 벡터를 추출하고, 퍼지 추론을 적용하여 표준 패턴과 입력 패턴의 특징벡터를 비교, 지화 동작을 인식하였다.

This paper presents the dynamic analysis on the joint torque of a finger for the tip pinch task. The dynamic model on finger movement was developed in order to predict the joint torques of an index finger, and the finger was assumed as a three-link planar manipulator. Analysis of the model revealed that the joint stiffness was one of the most important parameters affecting the joint torque. The stiffness of the finger joint was experimentally measured, and it was used in analyzing the finger joint torque required for performing the tip pinch task. The obtained joint torque for the tip pinch task will be used as the design requirements of the finger exoskeletal orthosis actuated by the polymer actuator whose allowable torque limit is relatively low compared to that of a mechanical actuator.

Human uses sight, tactile sense to evaluate Total Hand Value(FUUAI) of textile fabrics. Tactile sense is important factor which decided the Total Hand Value of a textile fabric. When human feels the FUUAI, physical and physiological phenomena are occurred in finger. We first found out physical variable that is happened in fingertip when human is feeling the FUUAI. Such physical variable means characteristic of action tactual motion of finger such as moving range, tactile time, moved distance, speed of finger and applied force by finger. We study the relationship between action tactual motion and the ability in which the human distinguishes the textile fabric. As a result, we could know the characteristics of the tactual motion of fingertip to get high distinguishable ability. The characteristics were different in men and women respectively. In the case of man, touched time and moving range influenced to distinguish, and moving range, and the moving speed of finger influenced, in woman's case.
