Frontal Midline Theta Rhythm
A train of rhythmic waves Frequency between 6-7 Hz
Induced by various mental tasks
Appearance of frontal midline theta rhythm is related to mental activity, personality traits and platelet monoamine
oxidase (MAO) activity
Mental tasks Psychopharmacology
Attention and arousal centrally acting drugs
Periodicity buspirone
Sleep ethyl lofrazepete
Music etizolam and clotiazepam
Magnetoencephalography dopamine agonist and antagonist
Personality traits alcohol
Monoamine oxidase
Needs Analysis• User and Task
1. Student: Mental workload (Engineering & Science)
2. Worker: Multiple task (Decision-making & Problem-solving)
• Environment Characteristics:
3. Student: Heavy work for different subjects in the classroom & laboratory
4. Worker: Strong influence for the future trends in the company & factory
Requirement Specification
• Student (Long-term memory): train memory for information retrieval, applied knowledge help to solve problem.
• Worker (Working memory): analyze information to make decision, pervious experience help to avoid human error.
Task AnalysisMain Task Level 2 Level 3
Cognition Model
1. Situation Awareness 2. Long-term Memory
1. Percept jigsaw puzzle 2. Comprehend rule of game 3. Declare geometric construction 4. Procedural cube calculation
Information Processing
1. Decision-Making 2. Working Memory
1. Percept the pattern / location 2. Find out regularity of sudoku 3. Guidance by cue detection 4. Series Reasoning the process
Purpose• To understand mental activity for
the complex task recognition between different nationalities
• To check the decision-making process during the multiple task performance
• To investigate mental activity after training whether the performance have improvement or not
Problems Statement• Human have low activity in the multiple tasks for the
information processing
• Human performance influenced by personality traits between different nationalities
• Human easy to make mistake for the situation recognition during the mental activity
• Human have problem to make the decision for problem-solving
Research Questions• How could Frontal Midline Theta influence the
Mental Activity in different tasks?
• What is the difference on Theta Rhythm within different nationalities?
• How to improve Personality traits by training the rhythm of Frontal Midline Theta?
• How to help human recognize the situation and make decision for problem-solving?
Research Objectives
• Human have different performance between Thai and Japanese for the multi-tasks.
• Situation recognition could be improved after training of the rhythm for decision-making
Hypothesis• H1: Fmθ is influenced in mental activity such as 2D/
3D jigsaw puzzle, sudoku/pattern-matching puzzle.
• H2: Fmθ are different between Thai and Japanese (personality traits)
• H3: Situation recognition is improved by training the Fmθ (form perception)
• H4: Decision-making is enhanced after the training of series reasoning
