In order to evaluate objectively the level of tension and relaxation in dental practices, the author used Biotrainer(BF-102R), one of the GSR biofeedback apparatus, to examine 119 dental outpatients on their changes of GSR due to infection, preparation, extraction and readjustment. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were no differences in the baseline GSR between the control group and the patient groups. 2. Changes in GSR by practices were significantly larger than the baseline GSR. 3. GSR in female was larger than that in male 4. While the GSR after injection, preparation and extraction revealed lower level, the GSR after readjustment revealed higher level. 5. Most of subjects just after injection, preparation and extraction were more frequent in decrease of GSR and those just after readjustment more were frequent n increase of GSR. 6. Type 1,2(increase in skin resistance) showed greater in injection, preparation and extraction group, while type 3(decrease in skin resistance) did in readjustment group.

In this study, an experiment was conducted in order to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of and on-line subjective assessment (OLSA) system. The present study compared Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with the OLSA by presenting 28 subjects in their 20s with pictures arousing either positive or negative sensibility. According to the correlation coefficients, changes in subjective sensibility caused by the positive visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR, from the positive visual stimulus, and changes in subjective sensibility caused by the negative visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR from the negative visual stimulus. In conclusion, the most remarkable characteristic of the present system is that it not only assesses the average sensibility when stimuli are presented, but also shows the changing strength of sensibility over time.

In this paper, we implemented a LED sensitivity illumination system, being driven in response to changes in the biological signals of GSR and PPG signal. After measuring biological signals of a human body from GSR and PPG sensor modules, MCU decided the state of relaxation or arousal of the subject, being based on the wake relaxation identifying map proposed in this paper. A developed LED sensitivity illumination system makes the subject to reach a normal state by giving a change of the LED illumination color, corresponding to a state of the subject.

Recently A virtual environment provides patient with stimuli which arouses phobia, and exposing to that environment makes him having ability to over come the fear. ECG and HRV are used in most virtual reality system. GSR is electrical impedance of biological tissues and the changes in impedance accompanying physiological activity. GSR is better than ECG or HRV for explaining mental states in other study. In this study, we will analysis GSR signal when a acrophobia patient and a normal is on high floor.

The purpose of this study was to verify the impact of cognitive factors and GSR on the task performance. For this study 64 students participated. Multiple regression and repeated measures were applied to analyze the data. The result for the survey indicated that previous knowledge, physical efforts, and task difficulty had significant impacts on task performance. Particularly, task difficulty has a negative impact. This can be interpreted as someone who has high prior knowledge inputs higher physical efforts with low task difficulty perception will show high performance. On the other hand, the low arousal level of GSR in the evaluation stage is a prediction variable of task performance. This result shows that high prior knowledge and low arousal level of GSR produces high performance. However, the analysis of difference in GSR between learning and evaluation stages does not show significant difference. It suggests that physiological measure such as GSR is reliable index of cognitive load; however, it partially represents cognitive load. Other crucial factors should be added for comprehensive measures.

Despite evidence from adults that stimulus incongruity increased arousal level, there have been no published reports demonstrating this relationship with children. Therefore, the present study was done to 1) investigate the relationship between the introduction of stimulus incongruity and children's arousal level, using the GSR as an index of arousal; 2) determine whether age difference among subjects would affect the magnitude of the effect of incongruity on GSR ; and 3) determine the feasility of using the GSR with young children, particularly when manipulating a variable considered to involve only modest increase in arousal. The results were: 1) The incongrous outcome of two brief stories increased the arousal level of the subjects in the present study 2) The effect was related primarily in the GSR arousal scores of adult subjects. The smaller or nonexistent reactions to incongruity by the children represent essentially new results, as little or previous research exists involving the arousal level of young children to visual or auditorily presented stimuli. Several possibilities regarding the failure of the incongruity to generate arousal in the young children were considered Methodolog both in using GSR as an index of arousal level and in developing visual or audio stimuli involving incongruity was discussed.

본 연구에서는 향에 대한 생리적 반응과 선호도가 노년층과 청년층에서 어떠한 차이가 있는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 20대 및 60대 피험자에게 100％의 Basil oil, Jasmin oil, Lavender oil, Lemon il, Ylangylang oil을 제시하여 자율신경계의 반응인 심전도의 RR간격과 GSR을 측정ㆍ분석하였으며, 선호도 평가를 하여 자율신경계의 반응과의 상관성을 검토하였다. 20대는 Lemon 향에서 RR 간격 및 GSR의 반응이 안정되게 나타났으며, 선호도 평가에서도 Lemon 을 가장 선호도가 높게 평가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 60대는 Lavender에서 RR 간격이 증가하고 GSR이 감소하여 안정된 반응을 보였고, Lavender에 대한 선호도 또한 높게 평가하여 60대는 다른 향보다 Lavender를 좋은 향으로 평가함을 알 수 있었다.

An oil spill model, Green Sea Ranger(GSR) based on trajectory and fate modeling of spilt oil behavior is introduced. The various physical models on weathering processes are reviewed and those adopted by GSR are described. A database for currents, which is necessary for the real-time simulation of oil spill, is generated on the south sea of Korea. The real-time prediction of tidal currents in the South Sea of Korea is carried out. Four major constituents (M₂, S₂, K₁, O₁ tide) are employed in the prediction, and those angular speeds and phases are determined from the astronomical arguments. The harmonic constants of the constituents are computed by solving shallow-water tide equations. The GSR has user-freiendly GUI and flexible framework which makes it easy to expand the database for sea environments in Korean coastal waters. The GSR is validated by the simulation of O-Sung oil spill caused by a grounded oil tanker in coastal sea near Maemol-do. The simulated trajectory is compared with observed one and it is shown that the GSR gives reasonable estimation on spilt oil bahavior.

Primer gunsot residues (GSR) obtained from K1A and K2 rifles, and K5 pistol were analysed with scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDX) as basic data in firearm accidents. Ammunition of 5.56 mm is employed for K1A and K2 rifles and 9.0 mm for a K5 pistol. The analyses of morphology, size, particle number, elemental ratio were performed for primer GSR prepared after shooting 3 times. The detected content was Ba>Pb>Sb in most GSR particles but Sb>Pb>Ba or Pb>Sb>Ba in some particles. In the statistical result of composition ratio of elements, the particles with more Sb than Ba were detected in most primer GSR from a K5 pistol, 3~8 times more than K1A and K2 rifles. This results can be employed to discriminate gun type between rifles and pistols. Furthermore, the size and the number of particles can be applied to access the type of guns.

가상현실의 자연스러운 응용분야는 작업 훈련(Task Training) 분야이다. 이러한 작업 훈련 분야에서 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나는 각성 수준(Arousal Level)으로, 적절한 각성 수준은 과제 훈련의 효과를 결정짓는다. 본 연구는 VR 환경과 Desktop 환경의 자동차 운전 시뮬레이터에서 피험자가 실험을 위하여 설계된 2 개의 시나리오를 수행하는 동안 피험자의 생리 신호를 측정하고, 실험 후 각 환경에 대한 주관적인 실재감을 측정하여, 두 실험 환경 사이에 피험자의 주관적인 실재감이 유의한 차이가 있는지 알아보고, 피험자가 수행한 시나리오와 시나리오에 종속된 실험 태스크에 대하여, 각성 수준을 평가할 때 유용한 지표로 활용되는 피부전도도(GSR) 반응이 피험자의 주관적인 실재감의 결과와 어떠한 관계를 보이는지 살펴 보았다. 실험 결과 두 실험 환경 사이의 피험자의 주관적인 실재감은 유의한 차이가 있었고, VR 환경에서 더 높게 나왔다. 그러나 두 실험 환경 사이의 피험자의 생리적 각성 반응은 실재감의 결과처럼 유의한 차이를 보여주지 못했으며, 오히려 시나리오에 종속된 실험 태스크에 따라서 유의한 차이를 보여주었다. 따라서 실재감과 피부전도도 (GSR)측정에 의한 각성도 는 직접적인 관계가 적은 것으로 생각되며, 이는 피부전도도(GSR)를 실재감의 한 척도로 쓰기에는 적합하지 않을 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
