It is known that gamma-band activity (GBA) and phase synchrony (GBPS) are induced by emotional visual stimuli. However, the characteristics of GBA and GBPS according to different emotional states have not been identified. The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in gamma-band neuronal synchronization induced by positive and negative emotional visual stimuli using electroencephalograms (EEGs). Thirteen healthy male subjects have participated in the experiment. The induced spectral power in gamma-band was the highest for negative stimuli, and the lowest for neutral stimuli in 300-2,000 ms after the stimulus onset. The inter-regional phase synchronization in gamma-band was increased in 500-2,000 ms, mainly between the bilateral frontal regions and the parieto-occipital regions. Larger number of significant connections were found by negative stimuli compared to positive ones. Judging from temporal and spatial characteristics of the gamma-band activity and phase synchrony increases, the results may imply that affective visual stimuli cause stronger memory encoding than non-emotional stimuli, and this effect is more significant for negative emotional stimuli than positive ones.

목 적 : 본 연구의 목적은 한국인에게 적합한 사회적 정서를 유발하는 자극(한국형 사회적 정서 유발 시각 자극, Korean Social Affective Visual Stimuli, K-SAVS)을 개발하는 것이다. 방 법 : K-SAVS는 극동 아시아인이 등장하는 사회적 상황의 사진들로 구성되었다. 각 사진은 부정적 정서 자극, 긍정적 정서 자극, 혹은 중립 자극으로 구성하였다. 24명의 피험자에게 긍정적 자극과 부정적 자극을 보여주고 정서가 및 각성수준에 대한 자가 평가 마네킹 척도를 작성하게 한 후, 다른 24명의 피험자들에게 부정적 자극과 중립 자극을 보여주고 같은 척도를 작성하게 하였다. 결 과 : 1차 실험에서 95개의 자극 사진 중 긍정적 정서자극 사진 1개 세트, 부정적 정서 자극 사진 2개 세트를 선정하였다. 각 세트는 18개의 사진으로 이루어졌다. 긍정적 정서 자극은 부정적 정사 자극 사진에 비해 호감도는 높았으며 (p < 0.001) 흥분도는 낮았다(p < 0.001). 2차 실험에서는 1차 선정된 사진들과 중립 자극 사진을 포함하여 79개의 사진 중 중립 자극 사진 1개 세트를 선정하였다. 중립 자극은 호감도는 높았으며(p < 0.001) 흥분도는 낮았다(p < 0.001). 결 론 : K-SAVS는 한국인에게 특정한 사회적 정서를 유발하는데 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 시각 자극이라 할 수 있다.

In this study, an experiment was conducted in order to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of and on-line subjective assessment (OLSA) system. The present study compared Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with the OLSA by presenting 28 subjects in their 20s with pictures arousing either positive or negative sensibility. 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. 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.

This study is to find physiological effects of acoustic information on landscape preference. Both the volume and the rate of $\alpha$-waves and $\beta$-waves were used to measure the effects in the study. The result of this study are summarized as follows: The outputting amount of $\alpha$-waves are sorted by different types of visual and acoustic factors. The results show that acoustic factors interacted with visual factors. That is, although visual factors are positive, the volume of $\alpha$-waves depends upon the character of acoustic factors; positive acoustic factors produce more $\alpha$-waves than negative or neutral(soundless) acoustic factors. Also the volume of $\alpha$-waves increase in the case of positive acoustic factors even if there is the same negative visual information. The results show that the volume of $\alpha$-waves increase without connecting with the types of visual factors. The volume of $\beta$-waves are largely reduced when visual stimulus is positive and soundless stimulus is provided. On the other hand, they generally increase when both visual and acoustic stimuli are negative, which fosters extremely unstable, tense and upset stress. The rate of $\alpha$-waves increase according to supplying positive acoustic factors in the opposed visual factors. The rate of wave(shouldn't be $\alpha$-waves\ulcorner) is high if both visual and acoustic factors are positive, so it is the most comfortable and causes no stress. Preference is the lowest if visual and acoustic factors are negative, but a -waves are conspicuously low in positive visual and negative acoustic factors.

The present study the feasibility of the new subjective assessment devise; Real-Time Subjective Assessment Digitizer (RTSAD). The subjects were instructed to evaluate their sensibility during the presentation of the positive and the negative visual stimuli using RTSAD. After the presentation of each of the stimulus, a questionnaire was used for comparing the results with those from RTSAD. It was argued that the biggest utility of the RTSAD is the capability of measuring and figuring out the trends of the subjective assessment in real time. The results from the questionnaires unlike the results from RTSAD, reflects only the averaged human sensibility for the entire time of the presentation of the stimulus.

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.

Visual Emotion is attempted to be evaluated by EEG(Electroencephalogram). Twenty university students were participated in this study. IAPS(International Affective Picture System) was used for the visual stimuli. Most positive and most negative emotional response were pairely compared. The results showed alpha increase, delta and beta decrease with postive emotional response, and alpha-delta inter-variation with emotional progress.

Wavelet transformation was employed to analyze the EEG signals. Most positive and negative emotional response were compared in pairs. 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 positive and negative stimulus were found. This study could be extended to establish an algorithm which distinguishes psychophysiological states of the subjects exposed to the visual stimulation.

본 연구에서는 긍정 또는 부정 시각자극이 제시되었을 때, 행동활성화체계(Behavioral Activation System : BAS) 민감 집단과 행동억제 체계(Behavioral Inhibition System : BIS) 민감 집단 사이에 차이가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 실험은 8명씩의 BAS와 BIS 민감 성향을 가진 남자 대학생을 대상으로 이루어졌고, 안정 상태와 국제정서사진체계(International Affective Picture System)의 긍정/부정 사진자극이 제시되는 동안의 뇌파를 측정하였다. 뇌파의 분석은 뇌 신호원 국소화를 위해, 뇌파의 전기적 신호에 의하여 형성되는 전류밀도에 대한 3차원적인 접근방식으로 데이터를 처리하는 방법 중의 하나인 LORETA(Low-resolution electromagnetic tomography)를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 긍정자극제시의 경우, BAS 민감 집단이 BIS민감 집단에 비해 알파 대역에서 변연계에 포함되는 cingulate gyrus와 전전두엽이 더 활성화되는 반응을 보였다. 이는 BAS 민감집단이 BIS 민감집단에 비해 긍정자극에 대한 반응이 더 민감하고, BAS 또는 BIS라는 인간의 동기체계가 감성자극의 인지와도 관련이 있을 가능성을 시사한다.

Human visual emotion were investigated by analyzing HRV from ECG signals, which were varied by the visual stimuli. In this paper, twelve university students experienced visual emotion by pictures from IAPS. ECG and subjective rating were obtained for human emotion evaluation. For determination of HRV, ECG was extracted into HF and LF via power spectrum analysis. The results showed that HRV is good for discrimination between positive and negative emotions.
