뇌파 및 심전도 생체신호를 복합적으로 이용한 감정인식을 통한 실시간 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 기존에 뇌파를 통한 감정인식의 문제점이었던 낮은 정확도를 개선하기 위해 뇌파의 Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma의 상대파워 값과 심전도의 자율신경계 비율을 혼합하는 복합 생체신호 감정 인식 시스템을 개발했다. 기쁨, 공포, 슬픔, 즐거움, 화남, 혐오에 해당하는 6가지 감정을 인식하기 위해 사용자별 확률 값을 저장하는 데이터 맵을 생성하고, 채널에 대응하는 감정 인식의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 가중치를 갱신하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 뇌파로 구성된 단일 데이터와 뇌파/심전도 생체신호 복합 데이터의 실험 결과를 비교한 결과 23.77%의 정확도 증가를 보였다. 제안된 인터페이스 시스템은 높은 정확도를 통해 게임 및 스마트 공간의 제어에 필요한 인터페이스로 기기에 활용이 가능할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a pillow simulated with cranial sacral therapy (CST) on sleep induction using electroencephalography (EEG). This study included 12 voluntary participants divided into experimental group (CST group) and control group (Non-CST group) to observe EEG changes. The position of the electrode for EEG measurement consists of 8 channels electrodes (Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, T3, T4, P3 and P4). In this study, we measured the fall asleep time, change of brain activity and sleep wave ratio using EEG wave (${\delta}$, ${\theta}$, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$). As a result, the mean fall asleep time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group significantly (p < 0.001). Also in comparison with the control group, both the delta (d) and theta (q) wave corresponding to the slow waves showed a larger increase and the alpha (a) wave showed a larger decrease significantly. The slow waves of experimental group showed a higher rate of significant increase than the control group (p < 0.001). Therefore this study showed that pillow based on CST had an effective in improving sleep induction and quality.

In this paper, new parameters were developed to estimate the depth of anesthesia during a general anesthesia using EEG. Power spectral density(PSD) analysis was used for these parameters because EEG became slow wave during anesthesia. The new parameters were DTR, ATR, TDR, ADR, BTR and BDR applied to PSD. These parameters were compared with SEF which is conventionally used at clinic and confirmed clinical value. As the results, DTR, ATR, TDR, ADR among parameters were not useful compared with SEF but BTR and BDR is valuable for clinic. 15 patents, at pre-operation BDR the value is $265.36{\pm}25.29$, at induction the value is $129.23{\pm}34.92$, at operation the value is $154.99{\pm}38.34$, at awaked the value is $283.83{\pm}39.80$ and at post-operation the value is $234.80{\pm}23.46$. Also at pre-operation BTR value is $183.38{\pm}13.59$, at induction the value is $104.09{\pm}25.11$, at operation the value is $115.38{\pm}23.42$, at awaked the value is $190.33{\pm}23.31$ and at post-operation the value is $172.38{\pm}19.08$. Trend of BDR and BTR is similar to change of SEF, so two parameters are useful. to estimate the depth of anesthesia.

Background and objective: This study was conducted with 10 men and women in their 50s-60s to investigate the effect of agro-healing activities on the improvement of mental health. Methods: The experimental group participated in total 8 sessions of agro-healing activities, once a week for 2 hours each, at a care farm in Wanju-gun. Physiological measurements were taken with an electroencephalogram (EEG), Salivettes samples, and blood pressure before and after the activities. Results: As a result of analyzing the changes in brainwaves of the experimental group before and after agro-healing activities, relative slow alpha (RSA), relative fast alpha (RFA), and ratio of alpha to high beta (RAHB), the indices of stability and relaxation, increased after the program with statistical significance. Also, the ratio of SMR to theta (RST) of the attention index increased on the right frontal lobes, temporal lobes, and left occipital lobes, and relative low beta (RLB) increasd on the frontal lobes, temporal lobes, and occipital lobes after the program with statistical significance. The sympathetic nervous system activity, which is a stress index, decreased after the program, whereas the parasympathetic nervous system activity, which is a relaxation index, increased, showing statistical significance (p < .05). As a result of analyzing the changes in blood pressure after the program, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure decreased from prehypertension to normal blood pressure, showing statistical significance. SThese results indicate that participating in agro-healing activities at a care farm for the 50-60s helps reduce stress and improve stability and relaxation as well as attention. Conclusion: Thus, developing and applying customized agro-healing programs for participants will have a positive effect on brain activity and psychophysiological improvement by relieving tension and stress. However, there are limitations in generalizing the results of this study since most of agro-healing farms have low accessibility that leads to a low level of participants.

본 논문에서는 은닉 마코프 모델을 이용하여 정상인과 정신분열증 환자의 뇌파에 대한 새로운 자동 판별 방법을 제안하였다. 특징 파라미터로는 통계적 정상구간에 대한 분산과 알파파, 베타파, 세타파의 전력비를 이용하였다. 실험 결과, 정상인의 경우에는 90.9％, 정신분열증 환자의 경우에는 90.5％의 높은 판별 정확성을 보였으며 이는 제안한 시스템이 복잡한 신호처리과정을 이용하는 시스템보다 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 은닉 마코프 모델이 뇌파와 같은 복잡한 생체신호의 분석과 판별에 사용될 수 있으며 제안한 방법이 임상적인 전단에 상당한 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a series of ultimate and fatigue experimental investigation on concrete-filled rectangular hollow section (CRHS) X joints with Perfobond Leister rib (PBR) under tension. A total of 15 specimens were fabricated, in which 12 specimens were tested under ultimate tension and 3 specimens were investigated in fatigue test. Different parameters including PBR stiffening, brace-to-chord ratio (${\beta}$) and inclined angle (${\theta}$) were considered in the test. Each joint was tested to failure under tension load. Obtained from test result, PBR was found to improve the tension strength and fatigue durability of CRHS joint substantially. Concrete dowel consisted by PBR and concrete inside the chord stiffened the joint, which leaded to a combination failure mode of punching shear and chord plastification of CRHS joint under tension. Finite element analysis validated the compound failure mode. Stress concentration on typical spot of CRHS joint was mitigated by PBR which was observed from fatigue test. Initial fatigue crack presented in CRHS joint with PBR also differentiated with the counterpart without PBR.

Objectives Prenatal testosterone is known to influence both cerebral laterality and 2nd to 4th digit ratio (2D : 4D). Epigenetic changes are thought to play some role in it. We studied sex-related differences between 2D : 4D and cerebral laterality in patients with schizophrenia and controls to examine the effects of prenatal testosterone in the development of schizophrenia. Methods Forty one men (18 schizophrenic patients and 23 controls) and 40 women (17 schizophrenic patients and 23 controls) were recruited from one psychiatric hospital in Korea. The 2D : 4D and electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence in 19 channels (66 pairs of interhemispheric coherence and 54 pairs of intrahemispheric coherence) were measured. The sex-related statistical analyses between 2D : 4D and EEG coherence in controls and patients with schizophrenia were performed using multiple regression. Results In male patients, the relationship between 2D : 4D and right intrahemispheric EEG coherence showed mainly positive correlation in delta and theta frequency bands, while it showed negative correlation in male controls. In female patients, the relationship between 2D : 4D and interhemispheric EEG coherence showed stronger positive correlation in alpha and beta frequency bands, while it showed weaker positive correlation in female controls. Conclusions Low prenatal testosterone may play certain roles in altered correlation between 2D : 4D and cerebral laterality in schizophrenia and the development of schizophrenia by epigenetic mechanism.
