Electroencephalography(EEG) studies that have been in clinical research since the discovery of brainwave have recently been developed into brain-computer interface studies. Currently, research is underway to manipulate robot arms and drones by analyzing brainwave. However, resolution and reliability of EEG information is still limited. Therefore, it is required to develop various technologies necessary for measuring and interpreting brainwave more accurately. Pioneering new applications with these technologies is also important. In this paper, we propose development of a personal authentication system fit for lifecaretainment based on EEG. The proposed system guarantees the resolution and reliability of EEG information by using the Electrooculogram and Electromyogram(EMG) together with EEG.

Brainwave-based user authentication technology has advantages such as changeability, shoulder-surfing resistance, and etc. comparing with conventional biometric authentications, fingerprint recognition for instance which are widely used for smart phone and finance user authentication. Despite these advantages, brainwave-based authentication technology has not been used in practice because of the price for EEG (electroencephalography) collecting devices and inconvenience to use those devices. However, according to the development of simple and convenient EEG collecting devices which are portable and communicative by the recent advances in hardware technology, relevant researches have been actively performed. However, according to the experiment based on EEG samples collected by using a single-channel EEG measurement device which is the most simplified one, the authentication accuracy decreases as the number of channels to measure and collect EEG decreases. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze technical problems that need to be solved for practical use of brainwave-based use authentication and propose an incremental elimination method of collected EEG samples for each user to consist a set of EEG samples which are effective to authentication users.

Neuro feedback training using ElectroEncephalo Grams (EEGs) is commonly utilized in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Recently, BCI (Brain-computer Interface) contents have developed, not for the purpose of treatment, but for concentration improvement or brain relaxation training. However, as each user has different wave forms, it is hard to develop contents controlled by such different wave. Therefore, an EEG process that allows the ability to transform the variety of wave forms into one standard signal and use it without taking a user's characteristic of EEG into account, is required. In this paper, a framework that can reduce users' characteristics by normalizing and converting measured EEGs is proposed for contents. This framework also contains the process that controls different brainwave measuring devices. In experiment a handling process applying the proposed framework to the developed BCI contents is introduced.

In this paper, a method of mood classification based on user brainwaves is proposed for real-time application in commercial services. Unlike conventional mood analyzing systems, the proposed method focuses on classifying real-time user moods by analyzing the user's brainwaves. Applying brainwave-related research in commercial services requires two elements - robust performance and comfortable fit of. This paper proposes a filter based on Regularized Common Spatial Patterns (RCSP) and presents its use in the implementation of mood classification for a music service via a wireless consumer electroencephalography (EEG) device that has only 14 pins. Despite the use of fewer pins, the proposed system demonstrates approximately 10% point higher accuracy in mood classification, using the same dataset, compared to one of the best EEG-based mood-classification systems using a skullcap with 32 pins (EU FP7 PetaMedia project). This paper confirms the commercial viability of brainwave-based mood-classification technology. To analyze the improvements of the system, the changes of feature variations after applying RCSP filters and performance variations between users are also investigated. Furthermore, as a prototype service, this paper introduces a mood-based music list management system called MyMusicShuffler based on the proposed mood-classification method.

This study aimed to understand the importance of applying finishing materials into interior space, and to add meaning to the creation of functional space, associated interior finishing materials with brain science. To achieve this purpose, brainwave(EEG) experiment was conducted. The brainwave appearing when sensing the surface of interior finishing materials with hands was measured. The locations of the electrode were FP1, FP2, F3, F4, C3, C4, P3, P4, O1, O2, F7, F8, T3, T4, T5, T6, CZ, FZ, and PZ and in addition to these, AFZ was added. Eight(8) kinds of finishing materials: metallic material, film paper, lumbar, stone, glass, silk wallpaper, fabric, and paint were used to measure '${\alpha}$-wave against ${\beta}$ wave.' As a result, it was found that the most activated finishing material in term of relaxation was film paper, followed by metallic, glass, paint, fabric, stone, lumbar, and silk wallpaper. To explain in light of this, (1) '${\alpha}$-wave against ${\beta}$ wave' was the most activated at ch1-FP1 and ch2-FP2, and at ch17-AFZ and ch19-FZ, which indicated that metopic-prefrontal lobe showed the highest activation in relaxation. Film paper, among the finishing materials, showed the highest increase in relaxation. (2) In general, '${\alpha}$-wave against ${\beta}$ wave' relaxation was inhibited at ch13-T3 and ch14-T4, and at ch15-T5 and ch16-T6 and the arousal in the temporal lobe was prominent. Silk wallpaper, among the finishing materials, showed the highest arounsal effect. As a result of measuring the superficial touch on the silk wallpaper, which was regarded as the most rough material among the eight finishing materials, the arousal effect of ${\alpha}$-wave against ${\beta}$-wave, among the brainwave characteristics, was found to be the highest. (3) to judge from the scope of this experiment regarding the tactile sensation over the finishing materials, it is considered that the brainwave reaction sometimes appeared contrastive depending on whether the surface was smooth or rough and there also appeared a difference in relaxation and arousal reaction of the brainwave depending on whether the surface was hot or cold, but the sensation on the surface texture was often evaluated differently depending on who you were. For this reason, this study has some limitations.

Sounds that have been evaluated to be effective in inducing sleep are helpful to reduce sleep disorders. Generally, several sounds have been verified the effects by brainwave experiments, but it cannot be considered on all users because of individual variation for effects. Moreover, the effectiveness for inducing sleep is not known for all new sounds made by creative activities. Therefore, new classification system is required to collect new effective sounds with considering personal brainwave characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new sound classification method by applying improved MinHash cluster to brain waves. The proposed method will classify them through whether it is effective for sleep care by evaluation his brainwave during listening for each sound. In order to prove effectiveness of the proposed classification method, we conducted accuracy experiment for sleep sound classification using verified sleep induction sound. In addition, we have compared time for existing method and proposed method. The former is scored 85% accuracy in the experiment. We confirmed the latter one that the average processing time was reduced to 70%. It is expected to be one of method for pre-screening whether it is effective when a new sound is introduced as a sound for sleep induction.
