Different from the traditional psychological relaxation therapy methods that using images, audios and videos, VR-based relaxation therapy is a promising way as the interaction of the VR system and dynamics of virtual environment affect the effectiveness of relax through more immersive and authentic audio-visual scenes. It makes the patient's emotion adjust to the normal state by generating a simulated environment in a VR system to comfort the subject and relieve subject mental stress. This paper presents a novel VR relaxation scenes design and evaluation framework where subject sensitive tourism VR videos were selected and combined with alpha wave induced background music. The relaxation effectiveness of VR scenes were evaluated by SAM scale, relaxation questionnaire and frontal EEG signals. A number of frontal EEG features from various analysis domains were explored to obtain the best stress-relevant features and to establish a stress-frontal EEG correlation model for stress evaluation, including time, frequency, entropy, geometric analysis, subband spectra, multiscale entropy, etc. 13 students aged between 20 and 30 were recruited in the evaluation experiment of 6 newly designed VR relaxation scenes. During which subjects frontal EEG signals were recorded as well as the SAM scale and questionnaire, the features that demonstrate an significant difference before and after watching VR scenes were identified, such as Energy, Energy ratio, the mean square root of frequency, frequency domain symmetry, Energy entropy and Shannon entropywhere frequency bands of delta, theta, low alpha and high alpha were considered. Finally, the features that demonstrate an significant difference before and after watching VR scenes were identified. The best stress-relevant features were selected to establish a stress-frontal EEG correlation model for stress evaluation which could be used to validate the effectiveness of VR relaxation scenes.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131053675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, significant limitations have been exhibited such as low emotion elicitation efficiency and high susceptibility to ambient interferences. Considering virtual reality (VR) provides a more immersive and authentic audio-visual sense, this paper puts forward an emotion elicitation system using VR named Affective Virtual Reality System (AVRS). Firstly, the emotional multi-features were extracted and classified from the existing standard affective systems. Then the VR scenes were designed by writing scripts, building 3D modeling and scenes using Unreal Engine 4.12. Through Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) evaluation, it was verified that the emotions inducted by the VR scenes were evenly distributed in the three-dimensional space of emotion, which reached the standardization of affective system in field of psychology. Then we further validated the advantages of AVRS by putting the four VR scenes into the LCD and VR device respectively. We tested the arousal level with the heart rate data and the SAM scale. The result shows that the arousal of other scenes have no significant difference from the videos in the VR environment, except the fear scene. We found that there are some conditions for the VR scenes to achieve a good emotional effect. Enhancing the interactivity and plot design is an important aspect.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122633567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its low profile, compact size and high gain characteristics are applicable to RF-linked implantable medical devices. A semi-circular patch is extended out of HMSIW cavity antenna to meander the surface current in cavity and decrease the operating frequency of the antenna. Moreover, the extra patch also helps to enlarge the radiating aperture and the gain of the antenna can be improved. To conclude, a slight size increasement of the antenna (extra semicircular patch) can make the antenna electrically smaller with improved gain. The designed antenna possesses a maximum gain of 5.8 dB over the bandwidth of 70 MHz (1%) with 15 dB front-to-back ratio and the cross-polarization level is below −18 dB.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"53 86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131002144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A modified planar inverted-F structure is proposed for the antenna design, whose end section is bent to be vertical with respect to the substrate, mainly for considerations of frequency tuning, size reduction and polarization diversity. Firstly, a one-layer cube muscle phantom model is used for initial design and optimization. Then, a comprehensive evaluation method, with considerations of the polarization mismatch loss, is proposed to analyze the radiation performance using a CST human body model. Evaluated results indicate that, the proposed design can ensure enough margins for the link budget, despite the relative position between the capsule and the smart phone.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125024284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
