This paper proposes a new motion estimation algorithm using the temporal continuity of motion. We set up a wide global search region (GSR), which basically corresponds to the search region of FSA, and local search regions (LSRs), the positions for which are predicted by the motion vectors of the temporal neighbor blocks, are constructed in the GSR. The previous frame blocks that possibly have effects on the current block are to be the temporal neighbor blocks. Then Motion estimation is only performed in the areas made by LSRs. Experimental results show that the proposed method can maintain visual qualifies with significant reductions of complexity by reducing search regions, when compared to the conventional FSA.

This paper proposes an adaptive motion estimation algorithm using the temporal continuity of motion. We set up a squared global search region (GSR), which basically corresponds to the search region of FSA, and non-squared adaptive local search regions (LSRs), the positions for which are predicted by the motion vectors of the temporal neighbor blocks, are constructed in the GSR. The previous frame blocks that possibly have effects on the current block are to be the temporal neighbor blocks. Because motion estimation is only performed in the areas made by LSRs, we can estimate motion more correctly and reduce processing time. Experimental results show that the proposed method can enhance visual qualities with significant reductions of complexity by reducing search regions, when compared to the conventional methods.

Arousal level has been well defined by autonomic responses. However, entire emotion including both valence and arousal level is often questioned to be completely described by only autonomic responses. This study is to find the autonomic physiological parameters which were used emotion evaluation, 15 undergraduate students were asked to watch eight video clips from diverse movies and comedy shows for experiencing emotions. The subjectively experienced emotion were grouped by three factors. Two dimensional emotion model having the pleasant-unpleasant and arousal-non arousal factors were mapped with three physiological responses(GSR, PPG, SKT). The results may suggest that PPG and GSR may be used as arousal index while SKT may pleasant index. And the complex relation of physiological responses to emotional experiences are discussed.

본 연구는 생리신호에 의한 집중된 시선과 집중하지 않는 시선을 분류하고자 한다. 이를 검증하기 위해 시각적으로 높은 집중과 낮은 집중을 요구하는 두가지 과제를 피실험자에게 제시하고 PPG(Photoplethysmogram), GSR(Galvanic Skin Response) 그리고 SKT(Skin Temperature)센서를 사용한 자율신경계 반응과 시선 움직임을 측정하였다. 과제는 $3{\times}3$으로 화면 구역을 나누고 각 구역에 문자를 제시하고 역방향 문자를 찾도록 하였다. 실험에는 20 명의 대학생이 참여하였으며, 1 번의 실험에 12 종류의 다른 문자배열을 제시 받았으며 1 번의 연습을 포함하여 총 5 회 실시후 데이터를 분석하였다. 높은 집중일 경우와 낮은 집중일 경우를 T-test 분석 결과, 자율신경계에서는 높은 집중일 경우 PPG 주파수가 증가하고 GSR과 SKT는 감소한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 시선의 집중도에 따라 다른 자율신경계 반응과 시선반응을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 음악의 템포가 인지적 과제 중 기억에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 주관적 평정을 통해 중간 템포 수준에서 각성이 상대적으로 중간 상태임을 확인하였다. 단어 재인 과제에서는 중간 템포 수준에서 봤던 단어를 다른 두 조건에 비해 유의미하게 많이 기억하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 템포에 따른 각성의 차이가 기억의 부호화 과정에서의 단어 기억에 영향을 미쳤음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 음악을 듣는 상황에서, 템포가 인지적 수행을 향상 시켜줄 수 있는 변인으로써 응용 가치가 있다는 점을 밝혀내었다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

We report on some of the preliminary results of the physiological responses resulting from vehicular speed changes. Healthy human subjects (n=5) were studied for the experiments. We measured the physiological responses of the subjects such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), and skin temperature for day and night vehicular speed change experiments, respectively. Before and after the tasks, we carried out a self-report for acquiring correlation with experiment results. Mean heart rate variability (HRV) and amplitude of GSR and skin temperature were calculated for 3 minutes duration in each state. The analysis of the physiological measures of ANS activity revealed that vehicle speed change-based affective state evoked arousal response pattern featured by HR acceleration, decrease of skin temperature, and increase of GSR amplitude. The obtained results show that despite some differences observed between each state, overall physiological responses show that the activity of the sympathetic nervous system increases as a result of the increase of speed.

최근들어 제품개발에 앞서 제품으로 인해 유발되는 감성을 측정하기 위한 시도가 늘고 있다. 그러나 제품을 사용하면서 나타나는 행동의 변화는 많은 영향 요소를 포함하고 있어 이를 해석하기가 어렵다. 본 연구는 안정을 유도하는 Herb차를 개발하거나 치약과 같이 사용으로 인한 감성유발 효과를 보고싶어하는 요구에 따라 시행하였다. 우선 실험전 피검자의 불안 척도, 기본 check list에 따라 피검자를 선택하였다. 또한 객관적 감성 지표로는 Fz, Fp1, Cz, Oz에서 뇌파를 측정하였고 EOG를 시행하여 noise를 제거하였다. 자율신경계 반응으로 galvanic skin resistance(GSR), 피부온도, 심박수등을 동시에 측정하였다. 이들 제품 사용으로 인한 객관적 감성 변화의 대조군으로는 행동 시행전에 측정하였다. 제품 사용 후 10분 간격으로 30-60분까지 나타나는 변화를 측정하였으며, 이들 제품들은 안정 효과를 유도하고자 기획되었으므로 대조군으로 00 $\times$ 0의 복잡한 계산문제를 주어 stress로 인한 감성, 걷는 동작, 손 씻는 행위등을 나누어 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 제품 사용으로 인한 감성의 변화는 GSR에서 가장 잘 반영되었고 또한 계산 문제로 인한 자극에서도 역시 GSR의 변화가 가장 뚜렷하였다. Herb차인 경우 기호도에 따른 차이가 나타났음을 알 수 있었다.

In the present study, a new Real Time Subjective Evaluation (RTSSE) system was developed. The system is composed of two parts: a sensibility input part and sensibility evaluation part. The sensibility input part receives values, which are recorded on an input board using a stylus and digital tablet, from each subject's evaluation of his/her own subjective sensibility towards a particular stimulus. The sensibility evaluation part displays the level of pleasantness and arousal on one or two dimensions in real time. An experiment was conducted in order to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the RTSSE system. The present study compared Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with the RTSSE by presenting 28 subjects in their 20s with pictures arousing either positive or negative sensibility. Following the experiment, an off-line subjective assessment using a questionnaire was given to the same subjects. According to the correlation coefficients, changes in subjective sensibility caused by the positive visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR, from the positive visual stimulus, and changes in subjective sensibility caused by the negative visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR from the negative visual stimulus. The questionnaire results showed marked similarity to the average responses of the RTSSE. In conclusion, the most remarkable characteristic of the present system is that it not only assesses the average sensibility when stimuli are presented, but also shows the changing strength of sensibility over time.

Psychological action is physiological response of outernal stimulus. Physiological response is accompanied b physiological signals which are EEG, EMG, GSR, ECG, BP, and tec. Physiological signals are recently studied for determination of human phychological state. Psychological activity causes electric potential of brain. Physiological signal is considered as measurement of human psychological state. Aditory sensibility which is one of the sense of human may determine differences between positive and negative feeling. EEG and GSR variation with auditory quality of stimulus can be define human negative and positive mental state. This study is to characterize parameters which can determine negative and positive psycholigical state of human.
