The recent revival of phenomenology and aesthetics is deeply connected to the development of neuroscience which studies the nervous system and the brain with particular regard to cognition and memory. How are those fields gathered into building up the basis for the communication not only between human beings but also between humanity and its environment? This paper examines the human mind considered unseparable from the body, with reference to Merleau-Ponty's two major works: Phenomenology of Perception (1962) and The Visible and the Invisible (1968). While reading these texts, I investigate the way he overturns the Cartesian cogito and establishes the body as the ground of perception. According to him, human perception is chiefly obtained through the body rather than consciousness. Influenced by William James, who produced the unique concept of cognition and memory through his experiments with the brain, Merleau-Ponty extends Heideggerian Desein to the field of the embodied mind. James also anticipates Bergson, who regards memory as the product of interaction between consciousness and matter (or the body). The intervention of the body which stores the past experiences makes it impossible for us to capture the present moment in itself. This failure, however, is viewed as positive by Merleau-Ponty because the human body is not only a medium of social interaction, but also that of ecological communion.

Objective : The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of breath meditation with neurofeedback on memory, concentration of healthy adult volunteers Method 25 healthy adult volunteers were divided into two groups. One group was treated with breath meditation and real neurofeedback, but the other group was administered with breath meditation and sham neurofeedback three times a week for 10 sessions, Before and after 10 sessions neurofeedback, all subjects were measured by cognitive functions assessment, heart rate variability, BDI, STAI, K-WAIS, HRSD, VAS about amnesia. Results : 1. Breath Meditation decreased error rate and increased concentration, cognition strength, and success rate of Cognitive Functions Assessment. Also, Breath Medication elevated IQ score of K-WAIS short form. 2. Sham : neurofeedback increased concentration, cognition strength compared to Real neurofeedback. Conclusion : The results suggest that breath meditation might effect cognitive function of healthy adult positively, but neurofeedback is not clear. In order to prove whether neurofeedback is effective or not, it should be studied more.

This article reviews recent advances and perspectives in neuroscience related to consciousness, cognition, and neural networks in the brain. The neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, such as perception, attention, memory, and decision-making, are explored. The article also examines how these processes give rise to our experience of consciousness. The implications of these findings for our understanding of the brain and its functions are presented, as well as potential applications of this knowledge in fields such as medicine, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the article explores the concept of a quantum viewpoint concerning consciousness, cognition, and creativity and how incorporating DNA as a key element could reconcile classical and quantum perspectives on human behaviour, consciousness, and cognition, as explained by genomic psychological theory. Furthermore, the article explains how the human brain processes external stimuli through the sensory nervous system and how it can be simulated using an artificial neural network (ANN) consisting of one input layer, multiple hidden layers, and an output layer. The law of learning is also discussed, explaining how ANNs work and how the modification of weight values affects the output and input values. The article concludes with a discussion of future research directions in this field, highlighting the potential for further discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the brain and its functions.

김치의 EtOH 추출물을 이용하여 in vitro 상에서 DPPH와 ${\cdot}OH$ radical 소거능을 측정하였고, ICR mouse의 해마 부위에 $A{\beta}$를 주입시킨 AD model을 이용하여 김치 추출물을 2주간 투여한 후 물체 인지, T-maze, water maze의 실험방법을 이용하여 인지능력 개선 효과를 살펴보았다. 김치추출물은 우수한 DPPH와 ${\cdot}OH$ radical 소거능을 나타내었다. 또한 AD 동물 model에서 해마 부위에 $A{\beta}$를 주입한 control군의 경우 물체 인지, 기억 및 학습능력의 손상을 확인할 수 있었으나, 김치 추출물을 100과 200 mg/kg/day를 투여한 군에서는 물체 인지 실험에서 새로운 물체에 대한 호기심 정도가 높았으며, T-maze 실험에서는 새로운 길에 대한 탐색 정도도 뛰어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Water maze 실험에서도 도피대를 찾아가는 반복 훈련을 할수록 도피대를 찾아가는 시간이 점차 단축되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 도피대를 기억하는 능력도 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과에서는 김치 추출물이 radical을 소거함으로써 산화적 스트레스로부터 보호하여 인지능력 및 기억능력을 향상시키는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구를 바탕으로 김치의 산화적 스트레스 개선 효과 및 AD 예방에 대한 상관관계에 대한 작용기작 연구가 이루어진다면 우리나라 대표 식품인 김치의 섭취로 인한 AD 예방 효과에 대해 명확하게 규명할 수 있을 것으로 사료되어진다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between activities of daily living and health-related quality of life in ambulatory stroke patients. This was a cross-sectional survey study of 60 patients who had survived one year or more after a stroke in community. Activities of daily living were assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FlM) and health-related quality of life using the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). The association between FIM and SIS was examined using Pearson' s correlation. The FIM score was higher than the SIS score. Most domains of FIM exhibited a high rate (45-85%) of ceiling effects. However, only the communication and memory domain of SIS exhibited of ceiling effects. The correlation coefficients were .835 (p<.01) for FIM-motor vs. SIS-ADL, .257 (p<,05) for FIM-motor vs. SIS-communication, .596 (p<.01) for FIM-motor vs. SIS-social participation, .635 (p<.01) for FIM-cognition vs. SIS-memory, .369 (p<.01) for FIM-cognition vs. SIS-ADL, and .289 (p<.05) for FlM-cognition vs. SIS-social participation. In conclusion, the correlation between FIM-motor and SIS-social participation was higher than that of FlM-cognition and SIS-social participation. The domains of emotion and hand function of SIS showed no correlation coefficients with FIM-total. To examine the activities of daily living and the quality of life in ambulatory stroke patients in community, it is necessary to use both the FIM and SIS.

촉진질문을 제공해서 무엇을 설명해야 하는지 알려주거나 자기설명을 하게 지시하면 기억과 이해가 향상되는지, 그리고 자기설명 지시와 촉진질문 제공의 효과가 학습자의 인지욕구와 상호작용하는지 알아보기 위해 3요인 실험을 실시하였다. 촉진질문과 자기설명 지시의 효과는 과제와 학습자의 인지욕구 수준에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 기억검사에서는 인지욕구가 낮은 학습자에게서 자기설명 지시와 질문 제공이 기억 수행을 향상시켰다. 인지욕구가 높은 학습자에게는 촉진질문이나 자기 설명지시는 기억에 별 도움이 되지 않았다. 오히려 촉진질문에서 언급하지 않았던 항목에 대한 기억은 저하시키는 경향을 보여주었다. 그러나 이해검사에서는 인지욕구가 높은 학습자의 이해 수행이 좋았다. 특히 인지욕구가 높은 학습자에게 촉진질문을 제공하고 자기설명을 하게 지시한 경우에는 이해 수행이 좋았으나, 인지욕구가 높은 학습자에게 촉진질문을 제공하지 않고 자기설명을 하게 한 경우에는 이해 수행이 나빴다. 이 연구의 결과는 자기설명 지시와 촉진문의 효과는 학습자의 인지욕구 수준에 따라 다를 수 있고, 인지욕구 수준이 낮은 경우 자기설명 지시와 촉진질문의 효과는 가산적일 수 있으며, 설명이 필요한 부분을 정확하게 찾아내는 것이 자기설명의 효과를 결정하는 중요한 요인일 수 있다는 것을 시사하는 것으로 해석되었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to verify the effects of a memory and visual-motor integration program for older adults based on self-efficacy theory. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was implemented in this quasi-experimental study. The participants were 62 older adults from senior centers and older adult welfare facilities in D and G city (Experimental group=30, Control group=32). The experimental group took part in a 12-session memory and visual-motor integration program over 6 weeks. Data regarding memory self-efficacy, memory, visual-motor integration, and depression were collected from July to October of 2014 and analyzed with independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test using PASW Statistics (SPSS) 18.0 to determine the effects of the interventions. Results: Memory self-efficacy (t=2.20, p=.031), memory (Z=-2.92, p=.004), and visual-motor integration (Z=-2.49, p=.013) increased significantly in the experimental group as compared to the control group. However, depression (Z=-0.90, p=.367) did not decrease significantly. Conclusion: This program is effective for increasing memory, visual-motor integration, and memory self-efficacy in older adults. Therefore, it can be used to improve cognition and prevent dementia in older adults.

Aerobic exercise affects cerebral circulation, action of neurotransmitters, glucose, oxygen, and energetic substances and influence on the central nervous system for cognition. This study suggests that both the intensity of exercise and the level of cognitive task need to be considered. Computerized neurobehavioral testing is a more effective method, compared to conventional methods, of neuropsychological testing when measuring cognition objectively, in cases that we found. The intensity of 80% max HR had effect on more complex tasks such as 3 Digit Addition and Digit Span Backward, and the intensity of 65% max HR had an effect on more simple tasks such as Color Word Vigilance and Digit Span Forward. We can assume that different intensity of aerobic exercise might involve specific areas of the brain as they could have different sensitivities, so further studies measuring regional cerebral blood flow or electroencephalogram are needed to confirm the results.
