Abstract

This study examined energy saving and elevating the worker's neuro energy (comfort, concentration, physical, and psychological stability) by compensating for the unpleasant tactile sensation to stimulate auditory and olfactory senses and reduce energy consumption. The experiment was conducted in an environment test room under the test conditions of temperature $25[^{\circ}C]$, relative humidity 50[RH%], illumination 1,000[lux] and air current speed 0.02[m/sec] by stimulating the auditory senses with a 1/f change in rhythm and the olfactory senses with an aroma scent. The experiment utilized the method of EEG, which evaluates human body's psychological status via tactile means, and the method of the vibra image, which evaluates the learning abilities, HRV and human body's psychological status via non-tactile means. The subjects were selected as eight university students (four males and four females) in their 20s, the type that have high relative ${\alpha}$(8~13[Hz]) activation in occipital lobe, which brings the highest level of mind stability and concentration, who had no difficulty in physical activities. The subjects' posture and physical activity was fixed to 1met - when the subjects are seated and relaxing in a comfortable environment - and their clothes condition was standardized as 0.7clo. As a result, the sentimental and psychological stability and concentration were the highest in the multisensory stimulation of jasmine scent and change rhythm of an a=1.106 sound source. In addition, under this condition, the relative $M{\alpha}$ and relative $M{\beta}$ increased by 70.49[%] and 89.72[%], respectively; the HRT decreased by 39.09[%]; and the fatigue and tension/anxiety decreased by 36.85[%] and 15.54[%], respectively.

청각 및 후각의 다감각 자극을 통하여 에너지를 절감하기 위하여 불쾌해진 촉각을 보상함으로써 에너지는 절감하면서 근무자의 뉴로에너지(쾌적성, 집중력, 신체적 및 심리적 안정 등)는 증강시키는 연구를 하였다. 온도 $25[^{\circ}C]$, 상대습도 50[RH%], 조도 1,000[lux] 및 기류 속도 0.02[m/sec]의 항온 항습실에서 1/f의 변동리듬으로 청각을 자극하고 아로마 향기로 후각을 자극하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 접촉식으로 인체의 심리상태를 측정하는 뇌파, 학습능력 및 심박동변이도와 비접촉식으로 심리상태를 측정하는 진동이미지 방법을 사용하였다. 피험자는 신체적으로 활동하는데 지장이 없고, 심신의 안정과 집중력의 최대 상태를 가져오는 상대 ${\alpha}$파(8~13[Hz])의 활성도가 후두엽에서 높은 유형인 20대 대학생 8명(남성 4명, 여성 4명)으로 선정하였다. 측정자세는 쾌적한 열적 환경에서 의자에 착석해 안정을 취하고 있을 때의 활동량으로써 1met로 하였으며, 착의량 상태는 약 0.7clo로 통일하였다. 측정결과 쟈스민 향기와 변동리듬 a=1.106 음원의 다감각자극에서 감성 및 심신안정과 집중력이 가장 높아졌으며, 상대$M{\alpha}$파와 상대$M{\beta}$파가 각각 70.49[%], 89.72[%] 증가하였고, HRT는 38.09[%] 감소하였으며, 피로도와 긴장 불안은 각각 36.85[%], 15.54[%] 감소하였다.
