In daily life, humans get stress very often. Stress is one of the important factors of healthy life and closely related to the quality of life. Too much stress is known to cause hormone imbalance of our body, and it is observed by the brain and bio signals. Based on this, the relationship between brain signal and stress is explored, and brain signal based stress index is proposed in our work. In this study, an EEG measurement device with 32 channels is adopted. However, only two channels (FP1, FP2) are used to this study considering the applicability of the proposed method in real enveironment, and to compare it with the commercial 2 channel EEG device. Frequency domain features are power of each frequency bands, subtraction, addition, or division by each frequency bands. Features in time domain are hurst exponent, correlation dimension, lyapunov exponent, etc. Total 6 subjects are participated in this experiment with English sentence reading task given. Among several candidate features, ${\frac{{\theta}\;power}{mid\;{\beta}\;power}}$ shows the best test performance (70.8%). For future work, we will confirm the results is consistent in low price EEG device.

Advent of the brain wave health care system is considered as an important issues in the industrial and research area in these days. It is necessary to detect EEG signals in real-time in order to support the medical emergency service for the epileptic or brain infarct patients. Since the efficient network support is an essential factor for the system, several topologies using sensor node based wireless body area network is suggested and simulated in this paper. Finally the Opnet simulation result is evaluated for the efficient topology of the body area network.

For the purpose of modeling EEG signal which has nonstationary and nonlinear dynamic characteristics, this paper propose a state feedback real time recurrent neural network model. The state feedback real time recurrent neural network is structured to have memory structure in the state of hidden layers so that it has arbitrary dynamics and ability to deal with time-varying input through its own temporal operation. For the model test, Mackey-Glass time series is used as a nonlinear dynamic system and the model is applied to the prediction of three types of EEG, alpha wave, beta wave and epileptic EEG. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed model is better than that of other neural network models which are compared in this paper in some view points of the converging speed in learning stage and normalized mean square error for the test data set.

This Paper presents the design of an automated EEG analyzing system. The design considerations including processing speed, A/D conversion, filtering, and waveforms detection, are overviewed with the description of the associated EEG charateristics. The architecture of the currently implemented system consists of a -controller based front-end signal processing unit and a host computer system. The data acquisition procedures are described along with a couple of illustrations of the acquired EEG/EOG signal.

In this paper, a new electrode configuration and EOG removal method are proposed in order to measure EEG effectively on the frontal lobe and remove EOG in the measured raw EEG. The method of measuring EEG is proposed using four electrodes and a ground electrode on the frontal lobe with a reference electrode at the left earlobe. And also, the separation method using ICA is proposed for EOG removal from the measured EEG, Through the experiments of measuring EEG it was demonstrated that a subject can attach the electrodes by himself easily to measure his own EEG without any assistant and the proposed methods were suitable for removing EOG signal from the measured EEG.

In this paper, we developed a Mac-Yule measurement system which consider psychological stable state of patience. The developed system consist with a hardware device that can derive a EEG, respiration and pulse wave, and a software which acquire a biological signal and signal processing The EEGs are derived with bipolar method from frontal head. The respiration signals obtain from nasal front with a transducer which consist with thermistor bridge. The pulse waves are detected from earlobe with photoplethysmograph method. A power spectrum of EEG are used as the decision parameters of psychological stable state of patience. The decision of Mac-Yule are defined as origin text method that of numbers of pulse to 1 respiration period. As the results of experiment with developed system, we could have a spectrum band discretion of EEG signal, stable respiration signal detection and automatic gain controlled pulse signal with realtime. And then, we could detect Mac-Yules from processed signals.

인체에서 발생하는 생체신호 중에서 뇌파는 신호가 복잡하고 재현이 어려움에도 불구하고 BCI(Brain Computer Interface) 분야에서는 선진국 선두 그룹을 중심으로 획기적인 기술을 개발하고 있다. 또한 BCI 에 대한 개발의 필요성도 손발을 사용하지 못하는 중증 장애인을 중심으로 확대되고 있다. BCI2000 시스템은 이러한 노력으로 탄생하였으며 BCI 선두 그룹을 중심으로 개발 발전되고 있다. 이 시스템 내부에서는 순수 상상에 의한 방향 인식과 가상키보드 등의 작업이 가능하도록 수정 보완 작업이 계속되고 있으며 정기적인 모임을 통해 그 기술을 공유하고 있다. BCI 에서의 선진그룹과 국내 연구 결과에는 많은 기술적 차이가 있지만 본 연구에서는 BCI 에서의 기술 발전에 자극되어 좌우 방향의 이벤트에 대한 뇌파 신호 분석과 이를 통하여 모니터 상의 방향을 제어하는 실험을 실시하였고 그 방법과 결과를 논의한다.

졸음에 의한 순간적 과오는 자동차운전을 비롯한 각종 산업안전에 인명피해를 포함하는 치명적 손실 을 수반한다. 따라서 이분야에 대한 연구가 국내를 포함한 전세계에서 활발히 진행되어 상업화가 추진 중이다. 그러나 이러한 연구는 실용적 차원에서 주로 피부전기활동(Electrodermal Activity: EDA)과 눈 깜박임 등의 측정방법에 의존하고 있으며 졸음의 첫 지시치로서 중요하고 객관적인 각성-졸음 과도기 뇌파를 포함하는 수면 다원생리신호 측정에 관한 연구는 이 방법이 피험자에게 구속성을 주고 측정 자체가 까다로워서 현실적으로어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 그 동안 Medilog SAC847 Polysomnography를 이용한 수면에 관련된 종합적 생리신호를 측정.분석 연구해온 경험을 토대로 정상적인 성인의 각성-졸음 과도기 생리신호특징으로서 뇌전도(Electroencephalogram:EEG), 턱 및 다리근전도(Electromyogram:EMG), 심전도( Electrocardiogram:ECG), 안전도(Electrooculogram:EOG) 등을 종합적으로 분석한 결과 졸음상태가 각성상 태에 비하여 EEG의 주파수는 감소하고, EMG와 ECG의 진폭은 줄어들고, EOG에서는 느린 안구운동의 특징을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다.
