A Basic Study on the Characteristics of the Electroencephalogram Corresponded with the Evaluating Words of Soundscape Sound Source

The effect of soundscape has been analyzed by questionnaire results. Nowadays, EEG is used to identify the human reponses due to exterior stimuli such as soundscape sound sources. So, it is very meaningful to know the EEG response to soundscape sound sources. In the present study, the sound sources of soundscape were heard to subjects in order to find out the relationship between questionnaire results and electroencephalogram results through lab test. And stimulated part of brain for evaluating words were sought in this experiment too. The results of the study are as follows : the sound source of bird+music causes more -wave rise than other sound sources and the -wave stimulated region of brain is occipitallobe. In case of -wave, the left part of brain is excited. -wave is on frontallobe and -wave is on right part of brain. The evaluating words for soundscape can be categorized into four groups. These results could be used for basic materials of soundscape effects analysis.
