자율신경계 반응은 인간의 각성을 측정하는 변수가 될 수 있다(황민철 외, 2001). 본 연구에서는 자율신경계 반응만으로 인간의 2차원 감성 분류를 할 수 있는지를 살펴보았다. 5명의 피험자에게 대중가요나 효과음 등과 같은 다양한 청각자극을 제시하여 감성을 유발한 후, 자율신경계의 반응을 3가지 생리신호(GSR, SKT, PPG)를 통해 측정하여 반응 패턴을 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 자율신경계 반응 패턴은 각성/이완뿐만 아니라 쾌/불쾌간 감성 구분의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study. respiratory efforts were monitored by the change of pulse transit time (PTT) which is related with the arterial pressure PTT is the time interval between the peak of R wave in ECG and the maximal slope point of photoplethysmogram(PPG). Biosignals, ECG and finger photoplethysmogram(PPG), were converted to digital data, and PTT was evaluated in personal computer with every heart beat. Results were presented as a graph using spline interpolation. The software was implemented in C$\^$++/ as a window-based application program. PTT was periodically changed according to airflow in resting respiration. In the resting respiration, PTT was changed according to the respiratory cycle. The amplitude of PTT fluctuation was increased by deep respiration, and increased by partial airway obstruction. These results suggest that PTT is responsible to respiratory effort which could be evaluated by the pattern of PTT change. And it is expected that PTT could be applied in the monitoring of respiratory effort by noninvasive methods, and is very useful method for the evaluation of respiratory distress.

One prototype product of clip-type pulsimeter equipped with magnetic field sensing semiconductor Hall device after one permanent magnet attached "Chwan" position in center of a radial artery was developed. The clip-pulsimeter was composed of the hard ware system measuring to voltage signals. To measure the blood velocity, the radial artery pulsimeter is simultaneously connected the PPG (photoplethysmograph). Analysis and comparison of two pulse waves data has done obtained from a clinical test of forty subjects of 20 ages. The value of a blood velocity simultaneously measured from a radial artery puls wave and PPG is an average value of 0.8m/s. The usage of this research results is possible to store the biomedical signals for health care.

As low power, low cost wireless communication technology like Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID has been put to practical use together with the wellbeing trend, the concern about ubiquitous health care has been greatly increased and u-Health is becoming one of the most important application in the sensor network field. Especially, development of the medical services to be able to cope with a state of emergency for solitary senior citizens and the aged in silver town is very meaningful itself and their needs are also expected to continuously increase with a rapid increase in an aging population. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of extracting accurate heart rate variability (HRV) measurements from photoelectric plethysmography(PPG) signals gathered by a ring type pulse oximeter sensor attached to the finger. For this, we made 2 types of ring sensor, that is reflective and pervious type, and developed the remote monitoring system which is able to collect HR data from ring sensor, analyze and cope with a state of emergency.

While watching the movie, the audience shows various emotional reactions. Emotional reactions such as sadness and anger, joy and anger appear depending on the storyline of the film. This aspect can be seen through the audience's brain wave response. This study is to examine the relationship between the movie story development and the movie story development through brain wave measurement of the emotional reaction of the audience in situations and events occurring in the movie development. Four American films, which represent each genre and are well known to many people, were selected for the study. These are of the adventure genre, of the animation genre, of the action genre, and of the drama genre. In order to measure the emotional response of these movies, four cases were set centered on the PPG of EEG and analyzed as a time series graph pattern. It can be seen that the emotional response on the graph has a certain relationship with the story development. It is expected that this study will help in selecting a genre when making a movie in the future, especially when deciding how to compose and develop a story, and it will help to induce the emotions of the audience.

This study is proposed the design method of tag to measure biomedical signal for interfacing with smart phone. The measurable physiological signals are ECG and PPG. On the smart phone by using the measured signals, we have designed the tag that can extract parameters such as heart rate, heart rate distribution, mean blood pressure, arterial stiffness, autonomic nervous balance. By using the estimated medical informations from this tag, One's health status will be able to manage one.

A sensor network system can be an efficient tool for healthcare telemetry for multiple users due to its power efficiency. One drawback is its limited data size. This paper proposed a real-time application of data compression/decompression method in u-Health monitoring system in order to improve the network efficiency. Our high priority was given to maintain a high quality of signal reconstruction since it is important to receive undistorted waveform. Our method consisted of down sampling coding and differential Huffman coding. Down sampling was applied based on the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem and signal amplitude was taken into account to increase compression rate in the differential Huffman coding. Our method was successfully tested in a ZigBee and WLAN dual network. Electrocardiogram (ECG) had an average compression ratio of 3.99 : 1 with 0.24% percentage root mean square difference (PRD). Photoplethysmogram (PPG) showed an average CR of 37.99 : 1 with 0.16% PRD. Our method produced an outstanding PRD compared to other previous reports.

Ubiquitous healthcare system is system that monitors and manages user's health information, and most important in the healthcare system is accuracy of the measured health data. But, the accuracy changes remarkably according to user's motion artifacts in real life. To elevate accuracy of health data, we proposed new algorithm to detect maximum point of pulse wave for heart rate extraction. and the proposed algorithm is to detect maximum points detect of pulse wave in photo-plethysmography signal included motion artifacts by fuzzy inference and multi sub-band filters. In results of experiment to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we could verify the proposed algorithm extracted maximum point of pulse wave in complex motion artifacts.

Due to the prolonged aftermath of COVID-19, the number of modern people suffering from stress and mental illness is increasing. Recently, various methods of color therapy are being studied using LED lighting to improve concentration, relieve stress, manage skin, and improve sleep quality. In this paper, pulse waves are measured and heart rate variability is extracted using a PPG (Photoplethysmogram) sensor to analyze a person's mental and physical state. Using RGBLED and Arduino, we propose a mood lighting system that automatically changes colors according to changes in mental and physical conditions by producing color lighting of various wavelengths, which are mainly used to stabilize the mental state.
