수면단계는 수면감성을 평가하는데 있어서 중요한 생리지표로서 사용되어왔다. 그러나 수면다원검사를 이용한 전통적 수면단계 분류방법은 뇌전도, 안전도, 심전도, 근전도 등을 종합적으로 측정하므로 수면단계를 비교적 정확히 분류할 수 있지만 피험자에게 심한 구속감을 주는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는, 각성상태에서 교감신경계가 지배적인 반면에 수면 중에는 부교감신경계가 더 활동적인 점에 착안하여 수면단계를 간단히 분류할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 수면단계에 따른 심박동변이도(heart rate variability: HRV)를 분석하였다. 단일채널 심전도를 이용하여 수면단계별로 HRV 의 교감신경계/부교감신경계 활성도의 비율을 분석한 결과, W(wakefulness) 단계가 NREN(non REM) 2 단계, 3 단계, 4 단계에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, NREM 4 단계는 REM(rapid eye movement) 단계와 NREM 1단계에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 또한 교감신경계/부교감신경계 활성도 비율의 수면단계에 따라 변화하는 양상은 W, REM, NREM 1, 2, 3, 4 단계의 순으로 단조 감소하였다.

Objectives : A variety of symptoms are typically reported during anxiety period, several of which are clearly linked to the autonomic nervous system(ANS), such as palpitations, chest pain and shortness of breath. Using spectral analysis of heart rate, several studies have shown that patients with anxiety disorder are characterized by a reduced heart rate variability(HRV), indicative of abnormalities in ANS fuction. To further evaluate the effect of anxiety and medication on autonomic function, 30 patients and 30 matched control subjects were assessed. Methods : Using spectral analysis of heart rate, which consisted of standardised measurements of HRV, we compared ANS between 30 patients with DSM-IV diagnosed anxiety disorder and 30 healthy controls, and investigated the autonomic effects of SSRI treatment. Five-minute HRV recordings were obtained before and after SSRI treatment and were analysed. Results : Five-minute HRV recordings in anxiety disorder patients revealed that a significant reduction in HRV was shown compared to controls. There was no significant changes in HRV between before and after SSRI treatment. Conclusion: Anxiety disorder patients showed a significant reduction in HRV compared to controls. SSRIs do not affect HRV influenced by ANS function. Further study is needed to confirm these things. Patients with anxiety disorder may suffer from functional disturbances in the interaction between the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic tree.

Heart related diseases mainly caused by heavy work load and increasing stress in human daily life. Therefore, researches on mobile healthcare monitoring for daily life has been carried out. Notably, wearable healthcare monitoring system which has least restriction has been tried to provide an emergency alert of abnormal heart rate. In this study, we developed chair type unconstrained BCG measurement system which able to perform continuous heart status monitoring at the office and daily life in the unconstrained way. Furthermore, adaptive threshold is used to detect the heart rate from BCG signals. The HRV(heart rate variability) is calculated from heart rate interval. ECG signal measured using conventional method and BCG signal measured using unconstraint system are carried out simultaneously for the purpose of performance evaluation. From the comparison result, BCG signal shows a similar heart beat characteristic as ECG signal. This proves the possibility of practical implementation of unconstraint healthcare monitoring system. In addition, medical examination like valsalva maneuver is performed to observe the changes in HRV due to stress. By performing valsalva maneuver, heart is said to be placed under an artificial physical stress condition. Under this artificial physical stress condition, the time and frequency domain of HRV parameters are evaluated.

In this paper, we compare three mehods to obtain PSD of HRV - FFT, AR modeling, and residual integration. Using these methods we speculate the balances of the LP and HF powers of HRV at $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ tilt levels of head-up tilt table for young and healthy 24 men. R peaks are located at the highest point of QRS complex detected from modified spacial velocity algorithm. In general FFT is the most fast way to obtain PSD but PSD from FFT has too many peaks and valleies. AR PSD can show frequency of ANS activity effectively but LF component of PSD is often invisible due to interference of VLF power. The residual integration method that decomposes the AR PSD is very efficient way to extract LF component. Applying the above three methods to HRV we can visualize the trend of PSD variations along tilt levels.

심장관련 질환은 현대사회에서 업무 과중과 스트레스에 의해 발병 가능성이 높아지고 있으며, 일상생활 중 건강상태를 지속적으로 모니터링하여 심장질환 관련 응급상황에 대처하기위한 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가정 또는 사무실에서 무구속적인 방법으로 지속적인 심장 활동상태의 모니터링이 가능한 무구속 의자형 심탄도 계측 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템에서 계측된 심탄도 신호로부터 건강모니터링을 위한 특징성분을 검출하기위해 웨이브렛 변환과 템플릿 매칭을 혼합한 신호처리방법을 제안하였다. 또한 적응 문턱치를 통해 심탄도 신호에서 심박동을 검출하였으며 심박동의 간격으로부터 HRV(heart rate variabillity)를 계산하였다. 구현된 시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 심전도와 동시에 심탄도를 측정하였으며, 두 신호로부터 심박동 검출 성능을 비교하여 구현된 무구속 의자형 심탄도 계측 시스템의 유용성 및 무자각 건강모니터링의 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 스트레스에 따른 HRV의 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 피실험자로부터 인위적으로 숨을 참고 강제호기를 통해 흉강내압을 증가시켜 인위적인 육체적 스트레스를 가하는 발살바를 유도하였으며, HRV의 시간 및 주파수 영역에서 도출되는 파라미터들을 평가하여 심탄도 모니터링을 통해 안정 상태와 스트레스 상태의 판별 및 무구속 건강모니터링의 가능성을 평가하였다.

The noise of MRI shooting is 100dB loud and has an intensive psychological and physiological influences on the human body. ECG signals were measured by experimental methods, while wearing earplugs for 15 minutes in the stable state. Then the ECG signals were measured for 30 minutes while listening to about 100dB of sound in a MRI equipment. In this study, the heart rate variability of men and women was analyzed according to the MRI noise stress level through the frequency analysis. As the MRI noise level is about 100dB, HRV analysis resulted in an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic. During the period from the resting state up to 10 minutes, the maximum stress state was shown. This study will encourage MRI workers to take interests in hearing protection for the patient and to make objective indicators about MRI noises.

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sustained attention deficits in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) children and short-term Heart Rate Variability(HRV) parameters. In addition, we evaluate the relationship between The ADHD rating scale(ARS), the computerized ADHD diagnostic system(ADS) and Parenting stress index- short form(PSI-SF). Methods:This study was performed in the department of children and Adolescent psychiatry, Korea university Guro hospital from august 2008 to January 2009. We evaluated HRV parameters by short-term recordings of 5 minutes. K-ARS and ADS are used for screening and identifying ADHD children. Intelligence was measured using Korean educational Developmental Institute-wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. The caregivers Complete Parenting Stress Index scale for evaluation parent stress. Results:The low frequency(LF) was significantly correlated with response variability of ADS. However, the other variables of ARS and ADS were not significantly correlated with LF. Hyperactivity subscale of ARS was significantly correlated with parental distress subscale and difficult child subscale of PSI-SF and inattention subscale of ARS was also significantly correlated with dysfunctional interaction and difficult child subscale of PSI-SF. Conclusion:The LF, 0.10-Hz component of HRV is known to measure effort allocation. This study shows that the LF component of HRV is significantly correlated with the response variability of ADS. This means that more severe symptoms of ADHD were correlated with the increase in the LF that means decreased effort allocation. These results also support the clinical usability of HRV in the assessment of ADHD. Furthermore, PSI-SF is correlated with hyperactivity and inattention variables of ARS.

최근 차량증가에 따라 교통사고가 날로 증가하고 있고, 안전운전을 위한 보조장치 개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 교통사고 원인중 운전자의 졸음으로 인한 사고가 30%에 달하고 있어 졸음운전 예방장치의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 졸음운전예방을 위한 효율적인 졸음경보 장치시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 HRV와 안구활동 신호를 BP(역전파알고리즘)을 이용 보다 더 정확한 측정 및 판단을 행하여 운전자에게 음성경고를 보내주는 방식이다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 연구된 피부전기활동, 영상처리를 이용한 졸음운전 감지 시스템, 심박변동신호 분석 방법보다 훨씬 효율적인 졸음경보를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 생환공간에서의 음향감성을 평가하기 위하여 긍정감성을 유발하는 음환경으로서 '명상음악'과 부정감성을 유발하는 음환경으로서 '헬리콥터소음'과 '마루가 삐거덕거리는 소음'을 제시하였을 때 행동활성화체계(BAS)와 행동억제체계(BIS)의 민감성이 서로 다른 집단들을 대상으로 전전두엽의(PFC) 비대칭성과 심장박동율변동성(HRV)을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 명상음악을 청취시에는 안정상태에 비하여 좌측전두엽이 더 활성화되고 HRV의 LF/HF는 감소된 반면에 소음환경에서는 우측전두엽이 더 활성화되고 LF/HF는 더 증가하였다.

In this study, ECG was recorded during sleep patients with obstructive sleep apnea. We detecte(heart rate variability) signal from the ECG wa QRS detection algorithm. And we observed HRV by the power spectrum density using autoregr modeling. The experimental results were analysis sleep stage 1, sleep stage 2, sleep stage 3, sleep s sleep stage REM. In experimental result, the PSD with obstructive sleep apnea patients was distributed low frequency band except sleep step 4. These effect means that the sympathetic nervous system affected the sleep stage 1, 2, REM and the parasympathetic nervous system affected the sleep stage 3, 4 with obstructive sleep apnea patients.
