P300 component of the event-related potential(ERP) has been studied for theoretical, empirical, and clinical applications. Nowadays the 1-, 2-, and 3-stimulus oddball paradigms are used for eliciting P300 component of EEG in the auditory stimulus experiments. In this paper, we used a method to add one more stimulus to the 3-stimulus auditory paradigm. The adding stimulus has not the same volume but the same tone of the target stimulus. The 4-stimulus oddball paradigm to use two targets is used to elicit the P300 event-related potentials. In 4-stimulus oddball paradigm, an infrequent non-target (p=0.10) is presented in addition to two infrequent targets (p=0.10) and a frequent standard (p=0.70). Two target stimuli elicited a P300 component with a parietal maximum distribution. The amplitude of the P300 in target 2 was larger than that in target 1 and the latency of the P300 in target 2 was longer than that in target 1. The P300 component due to target 2 stimuli was larger than that due to target 1 stimuli. The experimental results approve that the 4-stimulus oddball paradigm can elicit P300 component clearly. The results are compared with the results of the traditional oddball paradigm.

Alarm system performance is a critical aspect of safety. While existing research has extensively examined the influence of acoustic attributes on alarm performance, consonance's impact remains largely uncharted territory. This study bridges this research gap by investigating the effect of consonance on alarm systems. We extend our investigation to encompass not only the sound characteristics of the alarm but also the acoustic qualities of the surrounding environment, recognizing their potential impact on alarm efficacy. Prior studies consistently link consonance to annoyance levels, resulting in a negative user experience. Thus, we explore the relationship between consonance and alarm system performance, with a particular focus on modulating annoyance as an explanatory factor. Utilizing an oddball paradigm, we categorized standard and oddball sounds into consonant and dissonant types, creating four sound combinations. Participants were asked to respond to the irregularly presented oddball sounds while ignoring the constantly presented standard sounds. Our results reveal significant differences between groups, with the Standard Consonant/Oddball Dissonant (SC/OD) group displaying notably slower response times than the Standard Dissonant/Oddball Consonant (SD/OC) group. This reaction time variation aligns with differences in annoyance levels, as the SC/OD group reports higher annoyance, suggesting that reaction time discrepancies may be linked to increased arousal due to heightened annoyance.

The purpose of this study is to observe the change in gamma-band cortical activities (GBAs) due to task difficulty. Event-related potential and gamma-band activity were investigated using electroencephalograms recorded during auditory oddball tasks with two difficulty levels. For more difficult task, the amplitude of P300 decreased and the peak latency of P300 was delayed significantly compared to easier task. The induced GBA decreased considerably during the P300 latency period and the peak latency of the induced GBA was delayed for more difficult task. The results imply that the difficulty-related change in cortical information processing may be implemented as a change in the strength of local neuronal association.

P300 component of the event-related brain potential (ERP) reflects fundamental cognitive processes. The P300 components have been employed in a wide variety of theoretical, empirical, and clinical applications. In oddball paradigm for eliciting P300, we need standard stimuli and target stimuli. Firstly, designated stimuli are presented to subjects. Nextly, a chosen target stimulus is presented. In this paper, we elicited the P300 components with experiment that the subjects select a chosen target stimulus. Therefore, we measured the P300 components to be related choice of the target stimuli. The experimental results and the P300 components to be analyzed were presented.

The purpose of this study is to observe the brain activity patterns during visual oddball tasks with two difficulty levels by the analysis of high-density event-related potential (ERP). Along with conventional statistical analysis of averaged ERP waveforms, we applied independent component analysis (ICA) for the individual, single-trial analysis and verified its effectiveness. We could identify multiple ERP components such as early visual components (P1, N1), and two components which seem to be important task-related components and showed difficulty-dependent variability (P2, P300). The P2 was found around central region at $180{\sim}220ms$, and the P300 was found globally at $300{\sim}500ms$ poststimulus. As the task became difficult, the P2 amplitude increased, and the P300 amplitude decreased. After single-trial ERPs were decomposed into multiple independent components (ICs), several ICs resulting from P2 and P300 sources were identified. These ICs were projected onto scalp electrodes and the projected ICs were statistically compared according to two task difficulties. For most subjects, the results obtained from single-trial/individual analysis using ICA gave the tendencies of amplitude change that are similar to the averaged ERP analysis for most subjects. The temporal pattern and number of ICs corresponding to ${\mu}$ rhythm was not dependent on the task difficulty. It seems that the motor response was not affected by the task difficulty.

언캐니 밸리 현상이란 인간 유사성을 보이는 대상에 대한 부정적 감정의 발생되는 상황을 의미하며, 이는 언캐니 자극에 대한 범주화 과정에서 초래된 인지적 부담이 원인일 가능성이 있다. 본 연구는 인지적 부담 가설에 근거해 비인간, 인간 및 언캐니 얼굴에 대한 oddball 과제를 실시하고 세 얼굴이 촉발시킨 사건관련전위를 관찰했다. 실험 1에서는 도식적 얼굴을 사용해 전체 시행 중 80%의 시행에서 비인간 얼굴을(일반 시행), 10% 시행에서 인간(표적 시행) 그리고 나머지 10%의 나머지 시행에서 언캐니 얼굴(언캐니 시행)을 제시하였다. 그 결과, oddball 시행에 해당하는 표적 및 언캐니 시행의 반응이 상대적으로 부정확했으며 반응시간 또한 지연되었으나 세 시행 유형 간 P3 및 N170 성분의 차이는 분명하지 않았다. 실험 2에서는 3-D 랜더링을 통해 사실감을 증가시켜 범주적 상충의 정도를 증가시킨 얼굴 자극을 사용한 결과 행동적 수준에서 실험 1과 유사한 결과가 관찰되었다. 반면 N170의 경우 일반 시행에 비해 표적과 언캐니 시행의 정점 전위가 분명하게 증가하였으며, P3 성분의 경우 일반 시행에서 진폭이 가장 낮았고 언캐니와 표적 시행 간에는 차이가 없었다. P3 성분의 잠재기 또한 일반, 표적, 언캐니 순으로 지연된 것이 관찰되었다. 실험 1과 2에 걸친 N170와 P3의 발현 패턴의 변화는 언캐니 얼굴이 감각적 수준에서는 인간의 얼굴로 식별되지만 이를 비표적으로 범주화할 것을 oddball 과제에서 강제하기 때문에 초래된 범주화 상충이 원인인 것으로 짐작된다. 또한 사실감이 추가된 언캐니 얼굴 자극이 사용되었을 때 범주화 상충에 의한 인지적 부담이 증가했다는 점은 언캐니 밸리 현상의 배후로 추정되는 인지적 부담이 자극의 복잡성 증가에 따른 상충 정보의 증가에 의해 유발될 가능성을 시사한다.

본 연구는 청각 oddball 방안, 사건관련전위와 sLORETA를 사용하여 조현형 인격 성향을 가지는 대학생의 P300 신호원을 조사하였다. 또한 P300 신호원의 전류밀도와 조현병 증상간의 관계를 조사하였다. Schizotypal personality questionnaire(SPQ)의 점수에 근거하여 조현형 인격성향군(n=37)과 정상통제군(n=42)을 선정하였다. P300은 자주 제시되는 표준 자극(1000Hz)과 드물게 제시되는 목표 자극(1500Hz)으로 구성되는 청각 oddball 과제를 사용하여 측정하였으며, 참여자들은 목표 자극이 몇 번 제시되었는지 횟수를 세어 실험 후 보고하는 것이 요구되었다. 행동분석 결과, Oddball 과제의 정확률에서는 두 집단 간 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 사건관련전위를 분석한 결과, 조현형 인격성향군이 정상통제군에 비해 유의하게 감소된 P300 진폭을 보였다. P300의 신호원을 추정하기 위하여 sLORETA를 사용하여 분석한 결과, 두 집단 모두에서 좌우반구 전두엽, 두정엽, 측두엽, 후두엽에 분포되어 관찰되었다. 두 집단의 P300 신호원의 전류밀도를 비교한 결과, 조현형 인격성향군이 정상통제군에 비해 좌반구 상측두회와 우반구 중측두회에서 감소된 활성화를 보인 반면 좌반구 하전두회와 우반구 상전두회에서는 활성화 증가를 보였다. 이에 덧붙여, 조현형 인격성향군에서 우반구 상전두회의 전류밀도와 SPQ의 와해 점수 사이에 부적 상관이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 P300 신호 원인 전두 및 측두 영역의 이상을 조현병 환자뿐만 아니라 경미한 증상을 가지고 있는 조현형 인격성향군도 가지고 있음을 시사한다. 이에 덧붙여 본 연구 결과는 조현병 고위험군의 선별에 사용되는 SPQ의 경우 총점보다는 와해 점수가 고위험군의 선별에 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Much research has been conducted to judge aesthetic value for a single type of stimuli, but research to determine aesthetic value when two kinds of stimuli are presented at the same time is not explored in depth. In this paper, we measure the difference between the presentation of visual stimuli like general image and the presentation of signboard image including text stimuli using EEG. In the experiment, two oddball tasks were performed for general images and signboard images, and EEG changes according to the aesthetic value of the images were measured. As a result, the change of ERP in signboard image was larger than that of general image. We confirmed that more visual information was received and processed when two stimuli were presented at the same time.

The aim of this study was to examine the memory and attention enhancement effect of YMG-1 and YMG-2, which are modified herbal extracts from Yukmijihwang-tang (YMJ). YMJ, composing six herbal medicine, has been used for restoring the normal functions of the body to consolidate the constitution, nourishing and invigorating the kidney functions for hundreds years in Asian countries. A series of studies reported that YMJ and its components enhance memory retention, protects neuronal cell from reactive oxygen attack and boost immune activities. Recently the microarray analysis suggested that YMG-1 protects neurodegeneration through modulating various neuron specific genes. A total of 55 subjects were divided into three groups according to the treatment of YMG-1 (n=20), YMG-2 (n=20) and control (C; n=15) groups. Before treatments, all of subjects were subjected to the assessments on neuropsychological tests of K-WAIS test, Rey-Kim memory test, and psychophysiological test of Event-Related Potential (ERP) during auditory oddball task and repeated word recognition task. They were repeatedly assessed with the same methods after drug treatment for 6 weeks. Although no significant effect of drug was found in Rey-Kim memory test, a significant interaction (P = .010, P < 0.05) between YMG-2 and C groups was identified in the scores digit span and block design, which are the subscales of K-WAIS. The very similar but marginal interaction (P = .064) between YMG-1 and C groups was found too. In ERP analysis, only YMG-1 group showed decreasing tendency of P300 latency during oddball task while the others tended to increase, and it caused significant interaction between session and group (p= .004). This result implies the enhancement of cognitive function in due to consideration of relationship between P300 latency and the speed of information processing. However, no evidence which could demonstrate the significant drug effect was found in neither amplitude or latency. These results come together suggest that YMG-1, 2 may enhance the attention, resulting in enhancement of memory processing. For elucidating detailed mechanism of YMG on learning and memory, the further studies are necessary.

The ultimate goal of multimedia in bio-signal research is to approach multimedia contents through bio-signal. Hence it is important to interpret user's emotions by analyzing his or her bio-signals. In this paper, we construct ERP task of oddball component to analyze EEG signal between normal stimuli and fear stimuli and measure EEG during ERP task. The results from extracted ERP component show that there is a difference in N200 in visual stimuli, P300 in auditory stimuli, and N100 and P300. Moreover, there are larger changes in audiovisual stimuli, indicating that users recognize greater fear of crime when visual and auditory stimuli are simultaneously presented.
