Abstract

There are many methods for Human-Computer Interface. Recently, many researchers are studying about Brain-Signal this is because not only the disabled can use a computer by their thought without their limbs but also it is convenient to general people. But, studies about it are early stages. This paper proposes an EEG signals measurement and analysis methods for Brain-Computer Interface. Our purpose of this research is recognition of subject's intention when they imagine moving their arms. EEG signals are recorded during imaginary movement of subject's arms at electrode positions Fp1, Fp2, C3, C4. We made an analysis ERS(Event-Related Synchronization) and ERD(Event-Related Desynchronization) which are detected when people move their limbs in the ${\mu}$ waves and ${\beta}$ waves. Results of this research showed that ${\mu}$ waves are decreased and ${\beta}$ waves are increased at left brain during the imaginary movement of right hand. In contrast, ${\mu}$ waves are decreased and ${\beta}$ waves are increased at right brain during the imaginary movement of left hand.

사람과 컴퓨터의 인터페이스를 위한 방법에는 여러 가지가 있으나 보나 편리하고 몸이 불편한 사람들도 이용할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 최근에는 사람의 뇌파를 이용하여 인터페이스를 하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 세계 여러나라에서 뇌파에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 뇌파에 대한 정확한 분석이 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 정확한 뇌파분석을 위한 뇌파 유발 자극방법 및 측정법을 제안하고, Fp1, Fp2, C3, C4 영역에서 뇌파를 측정하여 사람이 팔을 움직이고자 하는 상상을 할 때 ${\mu}$파와 ${\beta}$파에서 발견되는 Event-Related Synchronization(ERS), Event-Related Desynchronization(ERD)을 분석함으로써 사람의 의도를 뇌파를 통해 인지하고자 한다. 실험결과 피험자가 오른쪽 팔을 움직이고자 할 경우 왼쪽 뇌에서 ${\mu}$파 감소하고 ${\beta}$파는 증가하였으며, 왼쪽 팔을 움직이고자 한 경우 반대로 우뇌에서 ${\mu}$파가 감소하고 ${\beta}$파가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
