관찰자의 조망 높이의 감소는 시각장면 내의 사물들 간 중첩의 증가를 초래해 해당 사물들의 정체 파악을 어렵게 만들 가능성이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 가능성에 기초해 조망 높이를 달리한 시야 상에 기억이 요구되는 자극들을 제시하고 해당 자극에 대한 시각단기기억 수행을 조사했다. 실험 1에서는 관찰자의 조망 높이(고, 중, 저) 차이를 반영한 격자무늬 배경과 기억 자극을 구성해 해당 자극들의 위치와 색상을 파지하는 단기기억 과제가 실시되었다. 기억 자극의 개수 증감(3 vs. 6)을 통해 기억부담의 수준을 달리해 가면서 기억 수행을 조사한 결과, 조망 높이가 가장 낮은 경우 기억부담의 증가에 따른 기억수행의 저하가 가장 분명한 것이 관찰되었다. 실험 2에서는 선형조망을 제공하는 격자무늬 배경의 유무에 따른 기억 수행을 관찰한 결과 실험 1과 동일하게 조망 높이가 가장 낮은 경우 수행이 역시 저하되는 것이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 조망 높이의 차이가 시야 상의 사물들 간 중첩 단서량의 변화를 초래하며 더 나아가 이러한 변화가 초래하는 감각적 간섭이 시각단기기억 수행에 영향을 줄 가능성을 시사한다.

This study evaluates the difference of visual effect according to pant style and geometric pattern. The researcher made 28 stimuli-combination of four pant Stiles (classic, baggy, skinny, and bell-bottom) and seven geometric pattern (large vertical stripe, small vertical stripe, large horizontal stripe, small horizontal stripe, large check, small check, and hound's tooth check). The test involved 96 female college students. The stimuli were made with the i-Designer computer program. The panels tested the computer screen images of all manikins wearing pants. A 7-point scale was used to evaluate each image. For the data analysis, ANOVA and Duncan-test were applied along with an SPSS program. The results of this study are as follows. Three factors (lower-body compensation, abdomen highlight, and length compensation) influenced the visual effect pant styles and geometric patterns. The skinny style and large vertical stripe evaluated positively in elongated height and leg length and a slimmer overall body. It was shown that the vertical stripe pattern was evaluated as more positive than the horizontal stripe pattern in the visual effect; particularly, the results showed distinct aspects in the classic pants style. The mutual influence of the visual effect (according to pants style and geometric pattern) were indicated as two factors of lower-body compensation and length compensation. A more positive visual effects resulted in a higher mutual influence on pant style and geometric pattern.

This study aims at identifying the effect of preferred visual and auditory stimuli on the road traffic noise perception through the series of psychoacoustic experiments. The first experiment was designed to find the addition effect of a sound reproducing system in a square where lay adjacent to roads with road traffic noise, provide appropriate music corresponding to the varying conditions of weather in the given space. In result, it was found that the rating around the square improved toward more positive adjectives. The second experiment was designed to assess the visual effect of twelve roadsides with different landscapes on the road traffic noise perception. As a result, approx. 3 to 5 dB(A) of psychological reduction was seen in places where natural landscape was preferred, compared to the others, although the noise levels were similar. The third experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of visual screen from adjacent roads on road traffic noise perception by means of ME method in a laboratory. In result, the effect of psychological reduction was observed at 65dB(A) or lower. Especially, complete screening from adjacent roads led to 5 to 10% of loudness reduction effect, compared to non-screening cases. Finally, the fourth experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of visual and auditory information with ME method and 7-point SD rating scale in a laboratory. In result, up to 10% of loudness reduction and about 2dB(A) of noise perceptional reduction were seen at 65dB(A) or lower.

시각 장면은 중복적인 정보가 많이 포함되어 있다. 우리의 시각체계는 다양하고 중복적인 정보를 처리하기 위해 뇌 용적을 늘이기보다는 들어오는 외부 정보를 요약한다. 유사한 형태의 다양한 정보가 시각체계에 주어지면 시각체계는 정보의 통계적 특성을 추출해 낸다. 이런 통계적 표상의 대표적 형태가 바로 평균 표상이다. 평균 표상의 한 예로 시각 체계에서 계산해 내는 유사한 여러 크기들의 평균 크기를 들 수 있다. 평균 표상은 빠르고 정확하며 비교적 오랜 시간 지속되는 표상이고 평균 표상의 처리과정 또한 병렬적인 처리과정이다. 하지만 지금까지의 통계 표상에 관한 연구는 행동측정방법에 의한 연구였다. 따라서 본 연구는 기능적 자기 공명 영상 기법을 사용하여 통계 표상에 관한 신경기제를 찾고자 하였다. 사전 연구 결과들에 따르면 특정 자극을 연속하여 제시하였을 때 특정 자극을 담당하는 영역에서 자기 공명 영상 신호가 감소함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 반복 감소 현상을 사용하여 원들의 평균이 동일한 자극을 제시하였을 때 우측 후두 영역에서 유의미하게 자기 공명 영상 신호가 감소하는 것을 발견하였다. 이것은 우측 후두 영역이 시각자극에 대한 평균 표상을 처리하는 영역일 수 있음을 시사한다.

특정 위치에 주의를 주게 되면, 그 위치에 있는 사물을 시각적으로 처리할 때에 시간 해상도가 저하되며, 이러한 저하는 큰세포(parvocellular)와 작은 세포(magnocellular)의 상호 억제적 연결에 기인하는 것이라고 주장이 제기되었다. 이와는 다르게, 시각 주의가 같은 위치에 연속적으로 제시되는 자극들간의 시간적 겹침을 유발하기 때문에, 주의에 의한 시간 해상도 저하가 관찰되었을 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는, 이 가설을 검증하기 위해, 배경 대비 자기의 극성이 다른 두개의 자극들을 사용해 자극 제시 순서를 판단하는 과제를 실시했다. 밝기 극성이 다른 자극들은 초기 시각 처리과정에서 서로 다른 경로를 통해 처리되기 때문에, 주의가 주어진다고 하더라도 시간적 중복이 촉진되지 않을 것이다. 실험 결과, 실험 참가자들은 시각 단서가 주어지지 않은 위치에서보다 주어진 위치에 나타난 자극들의 제시순서를 더 정확하게 판단했다. 반면, 같은 밝기 극성을 가진 두 개의 자극에 대한 제시 순서를 판단해야 했을 때에는, 시각 단서가 주어진 위치보다 주어지지 않은 위치에 나타난 자극들에 대해서 더 정확하게 제시순서를 보고했다. 이러한 결과는, 시각적 주의가 자극 신호의 시간적 중복을 유도함을 통해 시각적 시간해상도에 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다.

Background and objective: Various images from visual display terminals (VDTs) as well as living lighting are important parts of our daily life; thus, properly controlling the lighting environment - that is, illuminance, color temperature and good images from VDTs - can have a substantial effect on improving the mental health and work efficiency in everyday life. We examined electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses to various lighting conditions in 25 university students as they viewed images of a green landscape or traffic congestion. Methods: EEG was performed in darkness and when the room was illuminated with 10 different light-emitting diode (LED) color temperatures, while the EEG and HRV responses to green landscape or traffic congestion image stimuli were measured in darkness and during room illumination with three different LED color temperatures. Results: We found a significant difference between darkness and high LED illumination (400 lx) at 7 (CZ, F4, FZ, O1, O2, OZ, and T6) of 30 channels, while the alpha wave activity increased during darkness. In the second experiment, the green landscape image stimuli in the 30 lx-2600 K lighting condition elicited theta wave activity on the EEG, whereas the traffic congestion image stimuli under high LED illumination elicited high beta and gamma wave activities. Moreover, the subjects exhibited better stress coping ability and heart rate stability in response to green landscape image stimuli under illuminated conditions, according to their HRV. Conclusion: These results suggest that lower color temperatures and illumination levels alleviate tension, and that viewing green landscape image stimuli at low illumination, or in darkness, is effective for reducing stress. Conversely, high illumination levels and color temperatures are likely to increase tension and stress in response to traffic congestion image stimuli.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) during emotional occurrence of likes and dislikes in humans subjected to visual stimuli. Fifteen healthy male subjects participated in the study. Portrayals of females and cars on a visual screen, one photographic display at a time. were used as the stimulus. The subjects, with their EEGs concomitantly monitored, were asked to record their likes and dislikes for each portrayal of a total of 50 sequential displays. The results indicated that beta ($\beta$)=wave was more prevalent with dislikes than likes, and the arousal level was higher when dislikes predominated over likes, implying that more cerebral information processing activity was involved in answering dislikes than likes. In the case of cars, the difference between likes and dislikes was focused within a frequency band of 15-20 Hz in the right cerebral hemisphere. Our findings suggest that the activity in the right brain predominates with increases in negative emotion.

Objectives : Mild Alzheimer's disease(AD) is uncertain to be related to visuospatial working memory subsystem dysfunction. We used the self ordered pointing test(SOPT) to find the characteristics of visuospatial working memory in mild AD. Methods : We compared the visuospatial working memory abilities of 20 patients with mild AD and 20 normal elderly controls(NC) using SOPT, of which stimuli consisted of two stimuli types(A : abstract, C : concrete) and two stimuli numbers(8 and 12). Therefore, working memory was tested using C8, C12, A8, and A12 stimuli conditions in SOPT. Mixed-model ANOVA was conducted with the AD and NC groups as between-subjects factor, with stimuli types and stimuli numbers as the within-subjects factors and with SOPT error rates as the dependent variable. Results : The AD group showed higher error rates in SOPT than the NC group. The NC group showed low error rates in concrete stimuli than in abstract stimuli and in small stimuli numbers than in large stimuli numbers. And the AD group showed no differences between stimuli types or stimuli numbers. Conclusion : AD patients showed a poor performance in visuospatial working memory using concrete stimuli. The result suggests that there is a non-transformation from visual input to phonological working memory in AD. Patients with AD showed a poor performance although in small stimuli number condition of SOPT. It suggests that in AD, visuospatial working memory is not working well although in low central executive loads.

This article aims to evaluate the visual effects and images according to the changes in the width of pleats of accordion pleats skirt. I altered the width of the pleats to seven categories in changes of 0.5cm, 0.7cm, l.0cm, 1.3cm, 2.0cm, 2.5cm and 3.0cm. For the visual evaluation, seven stimuli had been placed in mannequins, and had been estimated by experts in fashion design. For the visual evaluation according to changes in the width of pleats of according pleats skirt. I used 11 pairs of items to find their visual effects, and 17 pairs of adjectives to measure the visual images. Those stimuli and adjectives had been randomly given to evaluators and had been evaluated by the seven-point Likert type scale. The data have been analyzed by frequency, factor analysis, ANOVA, Scheffes test and correlation analysis. According to factor analysis of the visual effects of the accordion pleats skirt, the result was classified into three factors: the verticality of the lower body, flexuosity of the lower body, and shape of the abdomen. According to factor analysis of the visual image of the accordion pleats skirt, the result was classified into the following three factors: activity, attraction and neatness. In visual effects, the verticality of the lower body had been assessed as the most important factor of all. The visual effect was positive when the width of pleats had been narrowed. In visual image, activity had been assessed as the most important factor. In the case of accordion pleats skirt, as the width of pleats became wider, it had a stronger image in being active and casual.

We are exposed to the various external stimuli input from the environment, which cause emotional changes based on the characteristics of the stimuli. Unfortunately, there are noquantitative results on relationship between human sensibility and the characteristics of physiological signals. The objective of this study was to quantify EEG signals evoked by visual stimulation based on the assumption that the analysis of the variability on the characteristics of the EEG waveform may provide the significant information regarding changes in psychological states of the subject. Seven university students were participated in this study. The experiment was devised with eleven experimental conditions, which are control and ten different types of visual stimulation based on IAPS(International Affective Picture Systems). Seven subjects were used to obtain EEGs while introducing visual stimulation. Wavelet transformation was employed to analyze the EEG signals. Most Positive and negative emotional response were pairely compared. The results showed that the reconstructed signals at the decomposition level revealed the different energy value on the EEG signals. Also, general patterns of EEG signals in rest state compare with negative and positive stimulus were found. This study could be extended to estabish an algorithm which distinguishes psychophysiological states of the subjects exposed to the visual stimulation.
