Objective: To develop and verify the usability of a cognitive rehabilitation system with diverse cognitive functional levels based on tangible objects for the elderly population. Methods: A study was conducted to investigate the system's strengths and weaknesses by upgrading it with responses from two groups of 15 patients and 4 occupational therapists. After undergoing three forms of training - regarding executive function, memory, and concentration for a total of 20-30 min, the participants were asked to answer a structured questionnaire about contents of the three forms of training, hardware including the tablet PC functioning as a CPU and display media and tangible objects, and satisfaction of experiential usage of the system. Results: Both groups responded that the most interesting training area was executive function while the least interesting was concentration. Six participants reported that the size of the screen of the tablet PC was inappropriate, and five responded that the size of the tool was inappropriate. All therapists and 40% of the patients responded that they were satisfied with this system. Conclusion: This system's features include easy manipulation of tangible tools for performing training tasks, easy selection of and training in cognitive areas based on users' needs, and automatic adjustment of difficulty level based on users' performance. The training environment was designed to be similar to the natural environment by using tangible objects in both hands as input devices for the system, and the system was considered as an alternative to the lack of community cognitive rehabilitation specialists.

Objective : This study aimed to provide an overview of task-oriented approaches for children with developmental coordination disorder, including its definition, diagnosis, causes, and assessment, through a literature review. Subject : Eighteen international articles published between January 2000 and September 2023 were analyzed to explore the intervention strategies of Neuromotor Task Training (NTT) and Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP). The objectives of the interventions mentioned in the reviewed articles were categorized according to the criteria of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework-4 (OTPF-4). The results showed that NTT more frequently set goals in the area of client factors, while CO-OP set goals only in the area of occupation. This difference in goal setting can be explained by the strategy differences between the two interventions. Conclusion : A broader and deeper understanding of strategies for interventions with task-oriented approaches to developmental coordination disorder can increase awareness of the disorder and provide a more solid basis for evidence-based practice.

This study aims to propose instituting the serious games of language-based cognitive enhancement for the BIF children. The program consists of 4 cognitive areas (perception, attention, working memory, knowledge inference) in 4 language dimensions (phoneme, word, sentence, discourse). 16 games of 4 areas/2 dimensions with 3 difficulty levels were implemented in a mobile station and pilot-tested to children including BIFs. The results from the pilot tests supported for the validity and effectiveness of our games: Children's game performance correlated with their IQ scores (overall and sub-areas) revealing significant differences between the groups. The stroop scores in pre-and-post training hinted the increase of children's cognitive control.

본 논문에서는 인지적 긍정/부정 선택 과제의 수행 시 뇌파를 이용하여 피험자의 반응시간 RT를 감지하는 방법에 관하여 기술한다. 실험 Task에서 피험자는 시각적 자극에 대한 반응, 문제의 해석, 손 움직임의 조절, 손동작 등과 같은 작업을 수행한다. 이와 같은 상황에서의 피험자의 정신상태의 변화를 모델링하고, 선택시간 ST를 감지하여 피험자의 반응시간 RT를 예측한다. ST를 감지하기 위하여 측정한 뇌파로부터 $\alpha$, $\beta$, ${\gamma}$파를 분리하고, 4쌍의 전극들로부터 3가지의 특징들을 추출한다. 추출한 특징들을 분석하여 각 피험자별로 나타나는 상세 규칙과 공통적인 특성인 일반 규칙들을 설정하고 이들을 적용한다. 4명의 피험자를 대상으로 평균 81%의 ST 감지 성공률을 보이고, ST 감지 이후 약 0.73초에서 RT가 나타나는 것을 보인다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 기존의 인지적인 정신상태 판별을 위한 방법들이나 왼손/오른손 동작구분 방법들과 결합하여 사용할 경우 BCI를 위한 기반 기술로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

The cognitive abilities are functions in human brain. They are closely with the real life. The cognitive abilities are likely to be decreased when human gets older and older. Fortunately, due to the plasticity of human brain, it is possible to help recover and rehabilitate brain function. Those efforts are called brain training and cognitive ability training. The cognitive ability training needs continuous trials and efforts. But many users feel boring because of simple repetitive works. This paper proposes a cognitive training system implemented in a smart device. The proposed system is designed to make users to focus on the repetitive training by using game-based tasks on the smart device. It shows that the proposed system is effective to attention and flexible on cognitive training game.

A considerable number of construction disasters occurs on pathway. A safety management in construction sites is usually performed to prevent accidents in activity areas. This means that safety management level of hazards on pathway is relatively minified. Many researchers have introduced that a hazard identification is fundamental of safety management. Thus, algorithms for helping safety managers' hazardous area identification is developed using automated data collection technology. These algorithms primarily search potential hazardous area by comparing workers' location logs based on real-time locating system and optimal routes based on BIM. And potential hazardous areas is filtered by identified hazardous areas and activity areas. After that, safety managers are provided with information about potential hazardous areas and can establish proper safety countermeasures. This can help improving safety in construction sites.

디지털 트윈이란 현실 세계의 물리적인 사물을 컴퓨터 상에 동일하게 가상화 시키는 기술을 의미하는 것으로, 물리적 사물이나 시스템을 모델링하거나 IoT 기술에 접목되어 활용되고 있는 기술이다. 디지털 트윈 기술은 가상의 모델을 무한정 시뮬레이션을 통해 동작을 튜닝하고 환경변화에 대한 대응을 미리 실험하여 리스크를 최소화할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다. 최근 인공지능이나 기계학습에 관련된 기술들이 주목받기 시작하면서, 이와 같은 물리적인 사물의 모델링 작업을 데이터 기반으로 수행하려는 시도가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 산업현장에서 많이 활용되는 인더스트리 4.0 공장 자동화의 핵심인 협력 로봇의 디지털 트윈을 구축하기 위해서는 로봇의 동작을 인지하는 과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 그러나 현재 협력 로봇의 동작을 인지하기 위한 시도는 미비하며, 센서 데이터를 기반으로 동작을 역으로 예측하는 기술은 더욱 그렇다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 로봇의 동작을 인지하기 위해 가정용 협력 로봇에서 전류 및 관성 데이터를 수집하기 위한 실험 환경을 구축하고, 수집한 센서 데이터를 기반으로 한 동작 예측 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식은 로봇의 동작 명령어를 조인트 위치 기반으로 분류하고 전류와 위치 센서 값을 사용하여 학습을 통해 예측하는 방식이다. SVM 을 이용하여 학습한 결과, 모델의 성능은 평균적으로 정확도, 정밀도, 및 재현율이 모두 96%로 평가되었다.

Patients with schizophrenia have thinking disorders such as delusion or hallucination, because they have a deficit in the ability which to systematize and integrate information. therefore, they cannot integrate or systematize visual, auditory and tactile stimuli. In this study, we suggest a virtual reality system for the assessment of cognitive ability of schizophrenia patients, based on the brain multimodal integration model. The virtual reality system provides multimodal stimuli, such as visual and auditory stimuli, to the patient, and can evaluate the patient's multimodal integration and working memory integration abilities by making the patient interpret and react to multimodal stimuli, which must be remembered for a given period of time. the clinical study showed that the virtual reality program developed is comparable to those of the WCST and the SPM.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality-based activities of daily living (ADL) training on ADL and rehabilitative motivation in patients with traumatic brain injury. Methods : This study was performed using a pre-post design with seven traumatically brain injured patients. Subjects were subjected to virtual reality-based ADL training for 30 minutes a day, 2 to 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Evaluation was conducted before and after the intervention using the Korean Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI), Cognitive Functional Independence Measure (C-FIM), and Volitional Questionnaire (VQ). Changes before and after intervention were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and correlations were analyzed using Spearman's coefficient. Results : After intervention, patients with traumatic brain injury showed significant improvements in K-MBI (p<.05). There was no significant change in total C-FIM score and VQ score (p>.05). Total C-FIM score correlated significantly with VQ score (p<.05, r=.755). The social cognition domain of C-FIM had a significant correlation with VQ score (p<.05, r=826). Conclusions : Virtual reality-based ADL training can improve ADL performance, but further research is needed to determine whether improvements in social cognition and rehabilitative motivation are possible.
