Compared to acupuncture, the pulsed magnetic field (PMF) stimulus is a useful tool for treatment of many physical conditions and health maintenance due to its advantages as a noninvasive and nontoxic medical treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PMF stimulus direction at PC9 on the alpha activity of electroencephalogram (EEG) and vascular aging calculated from photoplethysmograph (PPG). It can be concluded that the direction of PMF stimulus affects the increase of alpha activity of EEG and PPG, indicating the vascular stiffness and the sclerosis level of blood vessels weakly relevant to the direction of PMF stimulus.

뇌파는 비선형적이고 비정상적인 특징을 가지므로 주파수 분석법보다는 시간-주파수 분석법을 적용하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 논문은 기존에 제안했던 EIV 기법과 다층신경망을 이용한 뇌파기반 졸음 감지 시스템에 시간-주파수 분석 방법인 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 적용한 졸음 감지 시스템을 제안한다. 또한 운전자의 상태를 기존의 '각성', '천이', '졸음'의 세 가지 상태에 '기타'를 추가하여 네 가지 상태로 분류율을 측정하였으며, 기계 학습을 수행하여 제안한 시스템이 특정 조건에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

Sleep is an essential process maintaining the life cycle of the human. In parallel with physiological, cognitive, subjective, and behavioral changes that take place during the sleep, there are remarkable changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) that reflect the underlying electro-physiological activity of the brain. However, analyzing EEG and relating the results to clinical observations is often very hard due to the complexity and a huge data amount. In this article, I introduce several linear and non-linear tools, developed to analyze a huge time series data in many scientific researches, and apply them to EEG to characterize various sleep states. In particular, the spectral analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and synchrony analysis are administered to EEG recorded during nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) processes and daytime multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT). I report that 1) sleep stages could be differentiated by the spectral analysis and the DFA ; 2) the gradual transition from Wake to Sleep during the sleep onset could be illustrated by the spectral analysis and the DFA ; 3) electrophysiological properties of narcolepsy could be characterized by the DFA ; 4) hypnic jerks (sleep starts) could be quantified by the synchrony analysis.

An optimal feature selection and extraction procedure is an important task that significantly affects the success of brain activity analysis in brain-computer interface (BCI) research area. In this paper, a novel method for extracting the optimal feature from electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is proposed. At first, a student's-t-statistic method is used to normalize and to minimize statistical error between EEG measurements. And, 2D time-frequency data set from the raw EEG signal was extracted using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) as a raw feature, standard deviations and mean of 2D time-frequency matrix were extracted as a optimal EEG feature vector along with other basis feature of sub-band signals. In the experiment, data set 1 of BCI competition IV are used and classification using SVM to prove strength of our new method.

뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)는 외부 자극 때문에 발생하는 뇌 활동을 연구하기 위해 사용되는 도구로 두피에 전극을 부착하여 기록한다. 이 과정에서 잡파(artifact)가 혼입되어 신호를 왜곡시키기 쉬워 이를 제거하기 위한 후처리가 필수적이다. 잡파 제거를 위해 널리 사용되는 방법으로 독립성분분석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA)이 존재한다. 이 방법은 성능은 우수하나 뇌파 정보를 일부 손실시키는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 시선 추적 센서(Eyetracker)를 통해 얻은 눈 깜빡임 정보를 이용하여 필터 적용 범위를 제한함으로써 뇌파 정보 손실을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이후 신호 대 잡음 비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), 스펙트럼 일관성(Spectral Coherence, SC) 등의 정량화 방법을 이용하여 기존의 방법과 제안하는 방법의 결과를 비교하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of gradually increasing treadmill inclination on the electroencephalogram (EEG) of stroke patients during gait training. Methods: Three stroke patients who were diagnosed with stroke within six months and capable of walking on a treadmill were selected as subjects. EEG electrodes were attached at Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, C3, C4, P3, and P4 positions of the cerebral hemispheres using the International 10-20 system. The intervention involved walking for 2 minutes each at 0 degrees, 15 degrees, and 30 degrees inclination on the treadmill while focusing on a target point located in front during the treadmill gait training. The EEG (Smartingmobi, Serbia) generated when the treadmill gradient gradually increased was measured. In addition, relative alpha and relative beta waves were visualized through the Brain mapping program in the TeleScan program to assess the changes in each brain region for the activity of the EEG. Results: The relative alpha wave value decreased as treadmill inclination increased, while the relative beta wave value increased. Conclusion: Gradually increasing the inclination during treadmill gait training appears to be a crucial parameter for increasing the brain activity levels of stroke patients.

안경식 3차원 입체영상 콘텐츠에 대한 사용자 평가는 객관적/주관적 평가 방법을 활용하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있지만 무안경식 3차원 입체 영상 콘텐츠에 대한 사용자 평가는 미비한 실정이며 특히 생체신호를 적용한 객관적 평가에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무안경 입체 영상 화질에 대한 객관적 사용자 평가 도구개발을 위한 사전연구로서 무안경 입체영상 화질 변화에 따른 뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)의 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 무안경식 입체영상 시스템의 디스플레이로 활용되고 있는 렌티큘러 방식 입체 영상을 최적입체영상과 왜곡입체영상으로 구분하여 제작하고, 이를 총 26명의 피험자에게 차례로 제시하며 8개 채널의 뇌파를 측정하였다. 각 영상 시청시 획득한 뇌파를 채널별과 주파수별로 분류하여 통계적 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 뇌파진동 중 알파파의 경우 최적입체영상과 왜곡입체영상 사이에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 확인되지 않았으나 베타파의 경우 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 확인되었다. 베타파의 경우 왜곡입체영상에서 최적입체영상보다 통계적으로 유의미하게 높게 나타났으며 이는 왜곡입체영상 시청 시 피로감 또는 불안감 증폭에 따른 베타파의 뇌파활동이 높아진 것으로 해석된다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 뇌파분석 기법이 렌티큘러 방식의 무안경 입체영상 화질 평가를 위한 객관적 평가 수단으로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is a complex condition often arising from neural maladaptation after nerve injury. Understanding CNP complications involves the intricate interplay between brain-heart dynamics, assessed through quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and heart rate variability (HRV). However, insights into their interaction in chronic pain are limited. Resting EEG and simultaneous electrocardiogram (lead II) of the participants were recorded for qEEG and HRV analysis. Correlations between HRV and qEEG parameters were calculated and compared with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. CNP patients showed reduced HRV and significant increases in qEEG power spectral densities within delta, theta, and beta frequency ranges. A positive correlation was found between low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) ratio in HRV analysis and theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands in qEEG among CNP patients. However, no significant correlation was observed between parasympathetic indices and theta, beta bands in qEEG within CNP group, unlike age, sex, and BMI-matched healthy controls. CNP patients display significant HRV reductions and distinctive qEEG patterns. While healthy controls exhibit significant correlations between parasympathetic HRV parameters and qEEG spectral densities, these relationships are diminished or absent in CNP individuals. LF/HF ratio, reflecting sympathovagal balance, correlates significantly with qEEG frequency bands (theta, alpha, beta), illuminating autonomic dysregulation in CNP. These findings emphasize the intricate brain-heart interplay in chronic pain, warranting further exploration.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Acupuncture at the GV20 and GV22 on normal human beings using power spectrum analysis. Methods : Electroencephalogram(EEG) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in various frequency bands. 8 channels Background Electroencephalogram (EEG) was carried out in 30 subjects(24 females and 4 males). Results : In ${\delta}$(theta) band, the power values decreased significantly at the 8-channel average value(p=0.03) and especially at T3(p=0.02), T4(p=0.001) and P3(p=0.03). In ${\alpha}$(alpha) band, the power values have no significant changes. In ${\beta}$(beta)band, the power values increased significantly at the 8-channel average value (p=0.02) and especially at T4(p=0.003), P3 (p= 0.03) and P4(0.02). In ${\beta}/{\delta}$(beta/theta) ratio, the value increased significantly at the 8-channel average value(p=0.002) and especially at Fp2(p=0.05), F4(p=0.007), T3(0.012), T4(0.005), P3 (0.007) and P4(0.03) Conclusions : Through this data, we conclude that acupuncture at the GV20 and GV22 on normal human beings could have possibility to awake the cerebral cortex by the functional mechanism.

A full automatic interpretation of awake electroencephalogram (EEG) had been developed by the authors and presented at the past KACCs in series. The automatic EEG interpretation consists of four main parts: quantitative EEG interpretation, EEG report making, preprocessing of EEG data and adaptable EEG interpretation. The automatic EEG interpretation reveals essentially the same findings as the electroencephalographer's (EEG's), and then would be applicable in clinical use as an assistant tool for EEGer. The method had been developed through collaboration works between the engineering field (Saga University) and the medical field (Kyoto University). This work can be understood as an artificial realization of human expert skill. The procedure for the artificial realization was summarized in a methodology for artificial realization of human skill which will be applicable in other fields of systems control.
