Abstract |
This paper presents a waist pressure evaluation method in human sensibility using a electroencephalogram(EEG) signal. For this objective, a size-controllable waist-belt is used. First of all, EEG signals for relaxed state are acquired. Then, the waist-belt of the subject is tightened about 90% of normal state. After a few minutes, the belt of the subject is released. Some necessary preprocessing is performed on the acquired signals, Linear Prediction (LP) coefficients are utilized as the feature parameters extracting the characteristics of EEG signal, and a multi-layer neural network is used for indicating the state of body pressure. The results of the method showed 77.2% of coincidence with body pressure states. This may be compromising results for ssubject-independent sensibility evaluation using EEG signal. |
