Nowadays our society is rapidly transforming into an aging society. A better understanding of dementia is a high priority in the aging society. Therefore our study is basically aimed at understanding characteristics of EEG signals from dementia patients. Firstly, we analyzed spontaneous EEG signals from normal persons and dementia patients to distinguish their characteristics. The EEG signals are recorded with 16 electrodes and we classified the EEG signals form the signals according to frequency band. To obtain the clean EEG signals, we used cross correlation function between two channels. From the analysis results, we can observe that the EEG characteristics from dementia patients are distinctly different from that from normal persons.

As the diagnosis using encephalography(EEG) has been expanded, various studies have been actively performed for classifying EEG automatically. This paper proposes a CNN model that can effectively classify EEG signals acquired from healthy persons and patients with epilepsy. We segment the EEG signals into sub-signals with smaller dimension to augment the EEG data that is necessary to train the CNN model. Then the sub-signals are segmented again with overlap and they are used for training the CNN model. We also propose ensemble strategy in order to improve the classification accuracy. Experimental result using public Bonn dataset shows that the CNN can detect the epileptic seizure with the accuracy above 99.0%. It also shows that the ensemble method improves the accuracy of 3-class and 5-class EEG classification.

Electroencephalographic(EEG) is used to record activities of human brain in the area of psychology for many years. As technology develope, neural basis of functional areas of emotion processing is revealed gradually. So we measure fundamental areas of human brain that controls emotion of human by using EEG. Hands gestures such as shaking and head gesture such as nodding are often used as human body languages for communication with each other, and their recognition is important that it is a useful communication medium between human and computers. Research methods about gesture recognition are used of computer vision. Many researchers study Emotion Recognition method which uses one of EEG signals and Gestures in the existing research. In this paper, we use together EEG signals and Gestures for Emotion Recognition of human. And we select the driver emotion as a specific target. The experimental result shows that using of both EEG signals and gestures gets high recognition rates better than using EEG signals or gestures. Both EEG signals and gestures use Interactive Feature Selection(IFS) for the feature selection whose method is based on a reinforcement learning.

Many researchers are studying about human Brain-Computer Interface(BCI) that it based on electroencephalogram(EEG) signals of multichannel. The researches of EEG signals are used for detection of a seizure or a epilepsy and as a lie detector. The researches about an interface between Brain and Computer have been studied robots control and game of using human brain as engineering recently. Especially, a field of brain studies used EEG signals is put emphasis on EEG artifacts elimination for correct signals. In this paper, we measure EEG signals as human emotions and divide it into five frequence parts. They are calculated related the percentage of selecting range to total range. the calculating values are compared standard values by Bayesian Network. lastly, we show the human face avatar as human Emotion.

EEG is an electrical signal, which occurs during information processing in the brain. These EEG signals have been used clinically, but nowadays we are mainly studying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) such as interfacing with a computer through the EEG, controlling the machine through the EEG. The ultimate purpose of BCI study is specifying the EEG at various mental states so as to control the computer and machine. This research makes the controlling system of directions with the artifact that are generated from the subject's will, for the purpose of controlling the machine correctly and reliably. We made the system like this. First, we select the particular artifact among the EEG mixed with artifact, then, recognize and classify the signals' pattern, then, change the signals to general signals that can be used by the controlling system of directions.

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) usually have focused on classifying the explicitly-expressed intentions of humans. In contrast, implicit intentions should be considered to develop more intelligent systems. However, classifying implicit intention is more difficult than explicit intentions, and the difficulty severely increases for subject independent classification. In this paper, we address the subject independent classification of implicit intention based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Among many machine learning models, we use the support vector machine (SVM) with radial basis kernel functions to classify the EEG signals. The Fisher scores are evaluated after extracting the gamma, beta, alpha and theta band powers of the EEG signals from thirty electrodes. Since a more discriminant feature has a larger Fisher score value, the band powers of the EEG signals are presented to SVM based on the Fisher score. By training the SVM with 1-out of-9 validation, the best classification accuracy is approximately 65% with gamma and theta components.

We are exposed to the various external stimuli input from the environment, which cause emotional changes based on the characteristics of the stimuli. Unfortunately, there are noquantitative results on relationship between human sensibility and the characteristics of physiological signals. The objective of this study was to quantify EEG signals evoked by visual stimulation based on the assumption that the analysis of the variability on the characteristics of the EEG waveform may provide the significant information regarding changes in psychological states of the subject. Seven university students were participated in this study. The experiment was devised with eleven experimental conditions, which are control and ten different types of visual stimulation based on IAPS(International Affective Picture Systems). Seven subjects were used to obtain EEGs while introducing visual stimulation. Wavelet transformation was employed to analyze the EEG signals. Most Positive and negative emotional response were pairely compared. The results showed that the reconstructed signals at the decomposition level revealed the different energy value on the EEG signals. Also, general patterns of EEG signals in rest state compare with negative and positive stimulus were found. This study could be extended to estabish an algorithm which distinguishes psychophysiological states of the subjects exposed to the visual stimulation.

This research measures EEG signals which are generating on head skin and extracts brain concentration level related with brain activity. We have developed concentration wireless transmission system by displaying this EEG signal on PDA mobile device. The front head was used for measuring EEG signal and INA128 with TL084 and analog elements was used for measuring EEG signal, amplifying and filtering the signal. Measured analog EEG signals changed into digital signals by using ADC of PIC24FJ192 with 10bit resolution and 500Ks/s sampling rate. So The changed digital signals have transmitted to the PDA by using bluetooth. LabView 8.5 was also used for FFT transformation, frequency and spectrum analysis of the transferred EEG signal. As a result, $\alpha$ wave, $\beta$ wave, $\theta$ wave and $\delta$ wave were classified. we extracted the concentration index by adapting concentration extraction algorithm. This concentration index was transferred into PDA by wireless module and displaying.
