최근 의학 및 게임 분야에서 뉴로 피드백에 관한 연구들이 활발하다. 뉴로 피드백이란 뇌의 전기적 활동을 뜻하는EEG(Electroencephalogram)을 대상으로 하는 바이오피드백(biofeedback) 시스템의 일종이다. 좌 우뇌의 불균형은 불안과 우울 등의 정서적 장애를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 좌, 우뇌 활성도를 대칭적으로 향상시켜 뇌기능의 최적화를 위한 시스템을 제안하며 뇌파를 분석하여 정서 상태 파악 후 규칙적 훈련을 통한 우울, 불안 등의 정서적 문제를 개선하는 뉴로 피드백 시스템 개발에 대한 결과를 보고한다. 실험을 통한 시스템의 검증으로 3주간 진행한 훈련 결과를 비교하였으며 그 증가율을 살펴보았다. 1주차와 3주차의 데이터를 비교해본 결과 평균적으로 26.18%의 증가율을 보였고 좌, 우뇌의 활성도의 대칭이 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다.

인간과 컴퓨터의 연결에 인간의 두뇌에서 발생하는 신호를 계측하여 원하는 목적에 이용하는 brain computer interface(BCI)에 관한 연구가 최근에 활발히 이루어지고 있다[1]. BCI는 뇌에서 발생하는 뇌파 신호의 해석 및 분석을 통하여 뇌와 컴퓨터 간에 통신 채널을 형성함으로써 사람이 입, 눈, 손 등의 근육 움직임을 통하지 않고 상호간에 정보를 전달할 수 있도록 하는 인터페이스 방법이다.

This study was conducted to compare the effect improving balance abilities of 3 balance training programs by randomized intervention trial. Study subjects were 29 female students recruited from a university in Gwanju, who allocated randomly to 3 intervention groups, aqua group(modified Halliwick 10 point program, N=10), visual bio-feedback balance training group(N=10), and balance-pad plus trampolin group(N=9). As the results of repeated musure ANOVA, Wilcoxon signed rank test, major research findings were as follows; 1. Regarding SI or BIEMG measured at upright posture on hard platform, bio-feedback group under the condition with opening both eye and aqua group under the condition with closing both eye showed signigicant improvement in balance ability, respectively. 2. Regarding SI or BIEMG measured at upright posture on soft platform, bio-feedback group under the condition with opening both eye and aqua group under the condition with closing both eye showed signigicant improvement in balance ability, respectively. 3. Regarding all 3 sensory ratios, bio-feedback group showed significantly higher increasement in them than other 2 groups. The results suggested that visual bio-feedback training program improve the all 3 sensory functions required for balancing, and aqua training modified from Halliwick 10 point program contribute to improve vestibular function principally.

Objectives: This study examined the effect of mood and personality characteristics on psychophysiological responses measured by a biofeedback system in a normal population. Methods: Fifty healthy volunteers without any history of medical or psychiatric illnesses participated in this study. We measured the Spielberger trait anxiety inventory, Beck depression inventory, and Eysenck personality questionnaires in these subjects. Using the J & J biofeedback system, we also measured skin temperature, electrodermal response, forearm and frontal electromyography (EMG)s in 3 experimental conditions of baseline, stress, and recovery phases. Results: Trait anxiety did not show any significant correlation with psychophysiological responses except stress response in forearm EMG levels(r=0.282, p<0.05). Depressed mood was negatively correlated with forearm EMG levels in baseline (r=-0.299, p<0.05) and recovery phases(r=-0.314, p<0.05). Subjects with relatively high levels of depressed mood showed different stress and recovery responses in frontal EMG levels compared with those with relatively low levels of depressed mood (F=4.26, p<0.05). Extroverted subjects showed higher levels of forearm EMG than introverted ones in stress phase. Conclusion: Mood and personality characteristics in healthy subjects are closely related with psychophysiological responses measured by a biofeedback system. We suggest that mood and personality characteristics should be considered as important variables in analyzing abnormal psychophysiological responses in some psychiatric patients.

최근 평균수명의 연장에 따른 사회 노년층의 증가로 낙상사고의 빈도가 높아지고 있으며, 또한 교통사고 발생이 빈번함에 따라 전정계 이상 및 체성감각계의 기능 손상에 의한 자세균형 환자가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 이러한 균형 제어력의 소실이 환자의 재활치료에 많은 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 자세균형제어에 관한 연구는 주로 힘판을 이용하여 특정 감각시스템으로부터의 입력을 제한하거나 외력에 의해 평형 유지를 방해했을 때, 신체 전이(displacement), 압력중심의 움직임(Center Of Pressure; COP), 자세 유지 시 작용하는 근육의 활동전위 등을 측정하는 연구와 더불어 균형에 어려움을 느끼는 환자를 위한 바이오피드백(Biofeedback)을 적용한 연구가 보고되고 있다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is to assess if EMG biofeedback training with progressive muscle relaxation training is effective in reducing the EMG level in patients with tension headaches. This study which lasted from 23 October to 30 December 1989, was conducted on 10 females who were diagnosed as patients with tension headaches and selected from among volunteers at C. University in Seoul. The process of the study was as follows : First, before the treatment the baseline was measured for two weeks and the level of EMG was measured five times in five minutes. And then EMG biofeedback training was used to six weeks, 12 sessions in at and progressive muscle relaxation was done at home by audio tape over eight weeks. Each session was composed of a 5-minute baseline, two 5-minute EMG biofeedback training periods and a 5-minute self-control stage. Each stage was followed by a five minute rest period. So each session took a total of 40 minutes. The EMG level was measured by EMG biofeedback (Autogenic-Cyborg : M 130 EMG module). The results were as follows : 1. The average age of the subjects was 44.1 years and the average history of headache was 10.6 years(range 6 months-20 yens). 2. The level of EMG was lowest between the third and the fourth week of the training except in Cases I and IV. 3. The patients began to show a nonconciliatory attitude at the first session of the fifth week of the training.

In this study, we carried out a study for implementation of the pre-amplifier and the digital signal processing part for the potable EEG biofeedback system. As we consider characteristics of the EEG signal, we designed the pre-amplifier to obtain the EEG signal to be reduced noise signal. Because the EEG signal include EOG, EMG, ECG signals etc, it is difficult to analyze of the EEG signal. Therefore, we developed DSP board and operation program which was embed the LMS adaptive filter algorithm and operate with the pre-amplifier in the real time. The simulation signal and pure EEG signal is used in the experiment. As the result, we confirmed good efficiency of developed system and possibility of application to the portable EEG biofeedback system.

Although it is known that there are personality characteristic variances in the sensitivity to environmental feedback, the trait individual difference has scarcely been explored in the context of recognition memory decision. The present study investigated this issue by examining the relationship between the feedback-based adaptive flexibility of recognition criterion positioning and personality differences in general sensitivity to non-laboratory outcomes. Experiment 1 demonstrated that veridical feedback itself had little effect on the recognition decision criterion whereas Experiment 2 demonstrated that biased feedback manipulations selectively restricted to high confidence errors, induced shifts even in the overall Old/New category criterion. Critically, individual differences in stable personality characteristic linked to reward seeking(Behavioral Activation System-BAS) and anxiety avoidance (Behavioral Inhibition System-BIS) has been shown to predict the sensitivity of subjects to this form of feedback-induced criterion learning. This data further support the idea that incremental reinforcement-based learning mechanism not often considered important during explicit recognition decisions may play a key role in criterion setting.

With strength training comes the risk of injury and the benefits of exercise. Lack of knowledge and experience or repetitions at excessive intensity can lead to injury. Adequate feedback on an exercise's progress can increase the exercise's effectiveness and reduce injuries by providing scientific data and psychological motivation. This study aimed to validate EMG equipment and examine the effects of 8 weeks of biofeedback training with wireless electromyography. A correlation analysis between the Noraxon device and Fitsig^®(EMG Prototype), a well-known instrument in the field of research, showed a moderate correlation. Statistically significant differences in humeral circumference, humeral muscle mass, and biceps and triceps strength were found between the left and right sides of the body over time, with no differences in the type of exercise. Feedback training with real-time EMG was found to be favorable for hypertrophic growth and strength improvement. Future studies should be conducted to investigate its application in sports activities further.
