Abstract

In this paper, we present the research result related to a game application system which improves the symmetry of the left and right brain activity for alleviating the emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. Since the characteristics of patients with affective disorders are less willing to therapy. obvious motivation is needed in general. To provide a strong incentive for these patients, we propose a customized game system through game-oriented content of enjoyment. After the experiments conducted for 5 days, it was found that the symmetry of left and right brain activity is enhanced. The proposed functional game system can be applied to a wide range of applications such as healthcare or education.

본 논문에서는 뇌기능의 최적화를 통해 좌, 우뇌 활성도의 대칭성을 향상시켜 불안, 우울과 같은 정서장애를 개선하기 위한 게임 활용 시스템에 대한 연구결과를 소개한다. 일반적으로 정서장애를 보이는 환자들의 특징은 치료에 대한 의지가 낮아 확실한 동기부여가 필요하다. 이러한 환자들에게 강한 동기를 제공하기 위해 흥미유발의 게임형 콘텐츠와 사용자화를 통한 맞춤형 게임 시스템을 제안한다. 또한 5일 동안 진행한 실험 결과 좌, 우뇌 활성도의 대칭 정도가 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 제안된 게임 활용 시스템은 우울증, 집중 장애 치료와 같은 의료 분야나 학생들의 집중도를 높여 학습에 도움을 주는 교육 분야 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.
