A clinically oriented 32-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and evoked potential (EP) mapping system has been developed EEG and EP signals acquired from 32-channel electrodes attached on the heroid surface are amplified by a pre-amplifier which is separated from main amplifier and is located near the patient to reduce signal attenuation and noise contamination between electrodes and the amplifier. The amplified signals are further amplified by a main amplifier where various filtering and gain contr61 are achieved An automatic artifact rejection scheme is employed using neural network-based EEG and artifact classifier, by which examination time is substantially reduce4 The continuously measured EEG sigrlals are used for spectral mapping, and auditory and visual evoked potentials measured in synchronous to the auditory and visual stimuli are used for temporal evoked potential mapping. A user-friendly graphical interface based on the Microsoft Window 3.1 is developed for the operation of the system. Statistical databases for comparisons of group and individual are included to support a statistically-based diagnosis.

The objective of this study is to extract information from electroencephalogram(EEG) signals with which we can discriminate mental states. Seven university students were participated in this study. Ten stimuli based on IAPS (International Affective Picture Systems) Were presented at random according to the experimental schedule. 8-channel ($O_1$, $O_2$, $F_3$, $F_4$, $F_7$, $F_8$, $FP_1$, and $FP_2$)EEG signals were recorded at a sampling rate of 204.8 Hz for visual stimuli and analyzed. After random ten sequential stimuli presentation, the subject subjectively assessed the stimulus by scaling from -5 to 5. If the stimulus was the best and the worst, it was scored 5 and -5, respectively. Only maximum and minimum scored-EEG signals within each subject were selected on the basis of subjectively assessment for analysis. EEG signals were transformed into feature objects based on scalar autoregressive model coefficients. They were classified with Discriminant Analysis for each channel. The features produced results with the best classification accuracy of 85.7 % in $O_1$ and $O_2$ for visual stimuli. This study could be extended to establish an algorithm which quantify and classify emotions evoked by visual stimulus using autoregressive models.

This paper describes a method of comfortableness evaluation using 4-channel EEGs. The proposed method uses the linear predictor coefficients as EEG feature parameters and neural network as comfortableness pattern classifier. For subject independent system, multi-templates are stored and the most similar template can be selected. Changing the temperature and humidity conditions, 4-channel EEG signals for 10 subjects are collected. As a result, the developed algorithm showed about 66.7% performance in the comfortableness evaluation.

An electroencephalogram (EEG)-connectome processor to monitor and diagnose mental health is proposed. From 19-channel EEG signals, the proposed processor determines whether the mental state is healthy or unhealthy by extracting significant features from EEG signals and classifying them. Connectome approach is adopted for the best diagnosis accuracy, and synchronization likelihood (SL) is chosen as the connectome feature. Before computing SL, reconstruction optimizer (ReOpt) block compensates some parameters, resulting in improved accuracy. During SL calculation, a sparse matrix inscription (SMI) scheme is proposed to reduce the memory size to 1/24. From the calculated SL information, a small world feature extractor (SWFE) reduces the memory size to 1/29. Finally, using SLs or small word features, radial basis function (RBF) kernel-based support vector machine (SVM) diagnoses user's mental health condition. For RBF kernels, look-up-tables (LUTs) are used to replace the floating-point operations, decreasing the required operation by 54%. Consequently, The EEG-connectome processor improves the diagnosis accuracy from 89% to 95% in Alzheimer's disease case. The proposed processor occupies $3.8mm^2$ and consumes 1.71 mW with $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

This paper describes a technique for human sensibility evaluation using 10-channel EEG(electroencephalogram). The proposed method uses the linear predictor coefficients as EEG feature parameters and a neural network as sensibility pattern classifier. For subject independent system, multiple templates are stored and the most similar template can be selected. EEG signals corresponding to 4 emotions such as, relaxation, joy, sadness and anger are collected from 5 armature performers. The states of relaxation and joy are considered as positive sensibility and those of sadness and anger as negative. The classification performance using the proposed method is about 72.6%. This will be promising performance in the human sensibility evaluation.

본 연구에서는 뇌파를 AR모델로 모델링하여 선형예측계수를 특징 파라미터로 이용할 때와 뇌파의 주파수 대역별 상호상관계수를 이용할 때의 감정상태 분류 성능을 비교해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 분노, 슬픔, 기쁨, 안정의 4가지 감정상태에 따른 뇌파를 4개 채널로부터 수집하여 선형예측계수와 ${\theta}$, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ 대역의 주파수 영역에서의 상호상관계수를 추출하여 이들을 특징 파라미터로 한 감정상태 분류 실험을 수행함으로써 두 방법의 감정상태 분류 성능을 비교하였고, 패턴 분류기로는 신경회로망을 이용하였다. 감정 분류 실험 결과 뇌파의 특징 파라미터로서 선형예측계수를 이용한 결과가 상호상관계수를 이용할 때보다 성능이 월등히 좋은 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 뇌전도 바이오피드백 시스템을 위한 4채널 전두엽 전극 배치 및 JADE를 사용한 잡음 제거 방법을 제안하였다. 망막-각막 쌍극자 모델을 기반하여 4채널 전두엽 전극 배치를 제안하였으며, 이 배치에 의해서 얻은 신호에 대해서 JADE를 적용하여 4개의 독립 성분을 획득하였다. 각 독립 성분들 중에서 순수 뇌전도 성분을 추정하기 위해서 전체 신호에 대한 알파파비를 측정하여 그 값이 가장 큰 독립 성분을 잡음이 제거된 순수한 뇌전도로 추정하였다. 그 실험 결과 제안한 방법이 뇌전도 획득 과정에서 효과적으로 잡음을 제거함을 확인하였다.

The objective of the study is to discriminate EEG(electroencephalogram) due to emotional changes. Emotion was evoked by the series of auditory stimuli which were selected from the natural sounds in the sound effect collection of compact disc. Seventeen university students participated and experienced positive or negative emotions by six auditory stimuli with intermission between stimuli. Temporal EEG ($T_3$, $T_4$, $T_5$, and $T_6$) was recorded at the same time and a subjective test was performed on the eleven point scales after the experiment. The maximum and minimum scores of the EEG among six stimuli EEG were analyzed for discrimination of emotion. The EEG signals were transformed into feature objects based on scalar intervention model coefficients. Auditory stimulus was considered as intervention variable. They were classified by Discriminant Analysis for each channel. The features showed results with the best classification accuracy of 91.2 % in $T_4$ for auditory stimuli. This study could be extended to establish an algorithm which quantifies and classifies emotions evoked by auditory stimulus using time-series models.

본 논문에서는 전두엽과 두정엽의 4채널 뇌파를 이용하여 인간의 쾌적성 평가를 위한 알고리즘을 개발하고자 한다. 알고리즘은 선형 예측 분석과 신경회로망으로 구성되며, 많은 피검자들의 템플릿(template)을 활용한다. 먼저 다양한 실험 환경을 조성하여 쾌적 및 불쾌적한 상태의 뇌파를 수집하였다. 그리고 나서 개발된 알고리즘을 이용하여 쾌적성 평가 실험을 수행하였으며, 전두엽의 a파 전력비(power ratio)를 이용한 기존의 감성 평가 방법과 성능을 비교해 보았다. 온도와 습도를 이용한 쾌적성 평가를 위해 여러 방법으로 수집된 뇌파를 통해 적은 채널을 이용하면서 감성을 평가할 수 있는 전극의 위치를 확인하고자 실시한 여러 가지 조합의 2채널, 4채널 실험에서는 쾌적성 평가 결과가 제시한 task와 80%가 일치하여 Heller의 감정 모델에 근거한 4채널이 가장 변별력을 나타내는 전극의 위치임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기존의 a파 전력을 통하여 뇌의 활성 영역을 구분하여 감성을 평가하는 방법에서는 상당히 저조한 성능을 나타내어 감성과의 상관성을 확인할 수 없었다.

This paper describes a method of human sensibility evaluation for pleasant and unpleasant environments. Conditions of the environment are room temperature and humidity. Changing the conditions, 10-channel EEG signals for 4 subjects are collected. Linear predictor coefficients of the recorded EEGs are extracted as the feature parameter of human sensibility. A neural network-based human sensibility estimation algorithm is developed. The developed algorithm showed good performance in the pleasantness evaluation. The neural network output produced accurate states of pleasantness sensibility. Subject-independent test showed similar results with subject-dependent test.
