- [24.11.05] SALab, Papers Approved for Publication at the ICSE 2025 International Conference NEW
- [Prof. Sooyoung Cha] SALab, Papers Approved for Publication at the ICSE 2025 International Conference ■ Title: TopSeed: Learning Seed Selection Strategies for Symbolic Execution from Scratch ■ Author of a paper: Jaehyeok Lee, Prof. Sooyoung Cha ■ Conference: IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2025) ■ Abstract: We present TopSeed, a new approach that automatically selects optimal seeds to enhance symbolic execution. Recently, the performance of symbolic execution has significantly improved through various state-of-the-art techniques, including search strategies and state-pruning heuristics. However, these techniques have typically demonstrated their effectiveness without considering “seeding”, which efficiently initializes program states for exploration. This paper aims to select valuable seeds from candidate inputs generated during interactions with any symbolic execution technique, without the need for a predefined seed corpus, thereby maximizing the technique's effectiveness. One major challenge is the vast number of candidates, making it difficult to identify promising seeds. To address this, we introduce a customized online learning algorithm that iteratively groups candidate inputs, ranks each group, and selects a seed from the top-ranked group based on data accumulated during symbolic execution. Experimental results on 17 open-source C programs show that TopSeed significantly enhances four distinct cutting-edge techniques, implemented on top of two symbolic executors, in terms of branch coverage and bug-finding abilities.

- Software Department Lee Ji Hyeong_Challenge & Grace's Gratitude
- People Challenge & Grace's Gratitude 1. Challenge is giving oneself tough and difficult task Through challenge one shall learn. 2. Do not own the Grace you received, pass on to other. Prof. Lee Ji Hyeong Dep. of Software Prof. Lee Ji Hyeong has believed in the potential of A.I on the verge of graduate school choice, which led him choosing A.I Research lab that gave him a life-turning point. Since he became the professor at SKKU, he endeavored to manifest student's full potential, and founded A.I graduate school at 2019. This professor sends the message "True Professionalism" regarding to the education of prodigies, emphasizing responsibilities and problem-solving abilities. Furthermore, Informatics & Intellectual System Research is approved in well-renowned international academic conference LREC-COLING, which proved competence of SKKU research capability. Further details are asked to prof. Lee Ji Hyeong. | What is the motivation for A.I research? I had a hard time choosing the graduate school I should go. CS' essence is A.I to me, and that is the main reason I chose A.I Lab. Being appointed to SKKU is my life-turning choice. In 2002, I was excited for the challenge lying ahead of me when I was appointed to SKKU before the world-cup held in Korea. I had a strong desire of choosing A.I research lab when graduate school of A.I was founded at 2019. I wrote the proposal with effort, since I believed in SKKU's competence. | Most memorable anecdote from educating excellent prodigies. Educating students and researching is different. Graduate school and Undergraduate education is different. A.I graduate school business is about professionalism education rather than research. Educating these students is about drawing student's attention and support, and successfully managing the research. Those who could not graduate, failing exams, leaving of absence, each students need deep attention. I am proud when these students make it to the top on conference competition or challenges. I recall every students achievements and their journey along the process. | 인공지능 인재 양성의 방향성 I ask students to be a professional. Rather than the A.I technology itself, it is important to adapt problem solving ability. Able to complete the task never done before, and finishing the job in the name of honor and responsibilities are the crucial traits students should have. In our nation's perspective, I hope we can educate more prodigies. A.I critical algorithm developer, Technology Propaganda & Adaptation Professionals are the ones. One does not need to be the top of every field, but should be able to adapt A.I in these fields. Gaining control is also important. Although it is important to benchmark U.S' technology, but we should be able to assert dominance over some fields by strategical education. For instance, gaining dominant position in A.I semiconductor and so. | I heard that two papers from the Information and Intelligence Systems Lab have been accepted at the renowned international conference LREC-COLING in the field of natural language processing. Could you briefly explain the research? One paper is about detecting bugs in program code. It involves using large language models to identify logical errors in the code. The second paper focuses on utilizing small training data. We researched methods to effectively learn with limited data through data augmentation. | Which research project do you remember the most? Every research project is memorable in its own way. Research results are unpredictable; sometimes great research isn’t recognized, and other times research that falls short of expectations gets acknowledged. Research includes not just coming up with brilliant ideas but also refining them so they are accepted. Even if a paper gets rejected multiple times, it’s important to not be discouraged and keep revising it until it’s finally accepted. I advise my students not to give up and to keep challenging themselves. | What are your goals or operating philosophy in leading your lab? I focus on the growth of the students. Writing papers and conducting research are tools for education, and it’s important that students learn and grow through the research process. The relationship between professors and students is not one-sided but rather a collaborative one, where we discuss and enjoy the research together. One of the challenges of being the head of the AI department is gaining agreement and cooperation from students on shared goals. Challenges are inevitable, and overcoming them requires perseverance and effort to solve problems until the end. It’s also essential to understand and meet the needs of others. Developing the ability to wisely manage the stress that arises in these processes is important as well. | Is there anything you want to challenge yourself with? Right now, my goal is to accomplish the tasks that have been given to me both socially and personally. I try to live with a mindset of constantly challenging myself and learning new skills through difficult tasks. Challenge isn’t just about achieving big things; it’s also about trying things that are hard and that you don’t want to do. Challenge can also be seen as a process of developing your abilities by tackling tasks that are beyond your current skills. Even if you fail through the challenge, the new abilities you acquire make the effort worthwhile. The value of AI research, as an engineering discipline, lies in developing technology that benefits people. AI is a tool, and depending on how humans use it, it can produce either positive or negative outcomes. AI plays a critical role as an automation and assistance tool for humans. Being a professor is a profession that involves constant challenges, new research, and interactions with students. It’s a career that involves fostering talents who can adapt to the changing world, and it offers the freedom to challenge oneself, which makes it appealing. | How would you like to be remembered as a researcher or educator? This might sound a bit pessimistic, but I don’t particularly want to be remembered. I hope to quietly do my part and then naturally fade away. While I would like my work to have an impact on others, I don’t have any special ambitions. I would be happy if, when people think of me, they feel like they received a lot of help. In my life, I’ve received a great deal of help from others, but it’s difficult to repay that kindness to the same people. Instead, I want to repay that help by helping others in return. Rather than calculating things with a plus-and-minus mentality, I aim to live by giving as much as I’ve received. As an educator, my hope is to be someone who passes on the kindness I’ve received to students and others. I also hope that the students in my lab will carry this mindset of sharing the kindness they’ve received with others. | Any final words for the students at SKKU? The two key messages from today’s discussion are challenge and passing on kindness. First, be someone who embraces challenges. A challenge is doing something difficult and uncomfortable, and through challenges, you can gain learning. It’s important to always maintain a learning mindset. Second, pass on the kindness you’ve received. Don’t think of the kindness you’ve received as something that’s solely yours; you should share it with others. Since it’s often difficult to repay the kindness directly to the person who gave it to you, it’s important to pass it on to others. Whether as an educator or as an individual, it’s important to be someone who passes on kindness to others. I hope the students in the lab will also live by these values.

- [23.11.14] Beyond the Sight, Faculty of Global Convergence, Arts Electronica to perform art ②
-
[Editor's note: This is what happened in the previous episode] ☞ Perform art at Ars Electronica ① Q. What do you think you gained from your experience at Ars Electronica? | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: I think we've gained a lot from 2023 ARS Electronica. In the process of production, I was able to grow in all stages and processes, including coordination and unity among team members, and discussion and preparation for the work. During the event, I saw various people and various artworks. In the process, I think I gained a broad perspective by broadening my knowledge of the work and talking about art and technology for art. Lee Ji-min: I personally gained a lot from successfully completing the 2023 ARS Electronica. I thought deeply about how to plan the work efficiently during the production process. During the exhibition process, I feel that I have improved my foreign language skills by explaining hard to foreign visitors with insufficient English skills. The most meaningful thing is learning how to coordinate opinions effectively. I had to prepare the works from A to Z in a shorter period of time than I thought. So I had to quickly and accurately coordinate my opinions with classmates Ji-seop. In this process, I think we could all grow and achieve results at a global media art festival called ARS Electronica. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: It felt like the view that was limited to Korea was opening up. I've heard so many things like "Frog in the Well" and "The World is Wide," but the world stage I experienced with my own eyes was different. Through the process of interacting with numerous overseas artists and explaining their works, I think I gained the driving force to go far with higher and bigger dreams in the future. | | The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: I don't think I would have started or finished it by myself. I was able to achieve good results because I repeatedly went through the steps of isolation and brainstorming with my team members, studied every day, made works, and received a lot of feedback from the professor. I also realized the importance of teamwork once more. When I exhibited it at ARS Electronica, I realized once again that the world is wide. I met artists from various cultures, talked about their works, and talked about their artistic experiences and what kind of work they wanted to make in the future, and it was interesting. The theme of this ARS Electronica exhibition was 'Who is the truth?' and I think I tried to keep talking because I was curious about the insights and inspiration of the artists. The bottom line is that I want to design my life with a broader perspective to experience the wider world in the future. Hong Eun-ji: The experience of participating as a student artist, away from watching the exhibition called Ars, seems to have left me with too much to be desired, not an art student. First of all, I realized that the digital art world is this big and creative. I think I was able to grow further while facing problems that I had never imagined. Above all, it was a valuable experience to freely interact with art lovers from all over the world and talk about various social issues through works of art, not the people within my boundary. Especially in Campus Exhibition, there were college students from various countries such as Japan on one side, the UK on the other, and the United States and India next to them, and it was fun to talk to them and see their works. Lastly, the city of Linz, Austria, where the exhibition was held, is very peaceful, beautiful, and academic. I spent a week here on the Donau River and made precious memories with Sungkyunkwan University professors and exhibition team members who came with me. Q. I wonder if there were any subjects that helped me during my undergraduate class. | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: I majored in culture and technology convergence and learned how to approach media and content in different ways and from different perspectives. Overall, there were many classes to plan and produce content. In particular, I think I got a lot of help from Professor Kim Soo-wan's game content planning class and Professor Moon Sang-hoon's Generative Content Capstone Design class. Professor Kim Soo-wan's game content planning class reflected some of the gay elements in the work, as he had obtained the method of using the mechanism from the game. Since the work itself is a participatory type, I thought about how to engage and immerse myself, but it was possible to solve it through classes. Professor Moon Sang-hoon's Generative Content Capstone Design class came to think of the work in 'Generative', a concept generated by computers. It is now possible to construct the mechanism of the work by creating generative designs regenerated by computers with various work tools. Lee Ji-min: I think all the content planning classes for the Culture & Technology Convergence Major were helpful. In particular, Professor Kim Soo-wan's 'Game Content Planning' class was very helpful. In this class, we study the process of planning the game and the factors that must be considered. Finally, we complete our own game plan. While taking this class, I was impressed that when planning a game, I was told that users who play should consider "how immersed they are in the game." So I tried to conceive a game that provides fun based on the core mechanisms by which the game works. This part helped us a lot when we produced City of Hope: Hoffnungburg. In order for visitors to experience the work, they need to put their fingers on the sensor and stay for tens of seconds to measure their heart rate. At this time, we planned the work so that visitors could immerse themselves even when we were not around. To show that the city is created and extinguished in the virtual world on the monitor based on the heart rate measurement of the audience I made a change to the UI. To show that it is rendered in real-time through heart rate data, we implemented it through UI to prepare (load) for city creation, and UI showing signs just before the city disappears. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: There was a class called Creative Media Study in the Department of Culture and Technology Convergence. It was a class where you could learn projection mapping technology using a beam projector, create works using tools such as after effects and touch designers, and actually open small exhibitions at the end of the class. At that time, I exhibited media art works at the Cho Byung-du Hall of the school, and I think the small exhibition I experienced at that time was of great help overseas. | | The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: I first encountered visualizing tools in a class called Generative Content Capton Design, which I took in the first semester. I was interested in interaction media and interaction art, but I think the skills I learned from Generative Content Capstone Design helped me make this ARS Electronica work. Hong Eun-ji: There are a few indirectly helpful subjects in the Department of Culture and Technology. This year's ARS Electronica slogan is "Who owns the truth?" and it deals with artificial intelligence as its main theme. In that sense, Professor Jung Ji-yoon's 'Content Planning and Production through Artificial Intelligence' helped me to get into and understand very basic AI common sense. Next is Professor Kim Ji-yoon's
class, and I was inspired by a digital art exhibition called 'Bunker of Light' on Jeju Island, which was impressive at the time, and I enjoyed writing the work plan. I think that experience helped me write the Ars exhibition plan or Tech Rider. Lastly, Professor Kim Soo-wan hosted this exhibition, and thanks to my professor's class, "Game Content Planning," I was able to ask and challenge myself comfortably because I had no art experience and was scared. Q. Why do you think art exists in the world? | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: I'm not an art student, so I don't know all about art, but I think the art I've been through is a medium for another expression of 'I'. When you communicate with others, you communicate in many forms, such as texts through text messages and kakaotalk, and emoticons and gifs in the form of images beyond this. I thought art was one of the means of fully expressing the message that I wanted to convey with words, texts, and images beyond. I think carefully that's why art exists. Lee Ji-min: I don't know how to explain it because I haven't learned art. What I felt at 2023 ARS Electronica is that I think art can be a way of 'communication'. Everyone who participated in the exhibition from all over the world had different messages to convey, and the way they delivered him was different. However, when I explained the message through the work, there was a part that touched me more. So I think art is a way of communicating. Art is still difficult for me, even now! | | Discord Cho Yong-min: I think art is a human instinct to covet beauty. There are so many creatures in the world and so many higher life forms, but I think art is the point where we can clearly distinguish them from humans. I think it is the beginning of art that humans have pursued another new desire since they reached the peak of all living things beyond hunger and the desire for breeding, and have created a depth of thought in a more high-level direction. The reason art exists in the world is that we evolve in a higher dimension. | | The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: I think we can find art in our lives, in our daily lives. Actually, as soon as I was asked this question, my fashion club came to mind. At the beginning of the semester, the theme of the activity of selecting a look called street snap and going out was "fashion expressing myself," and the first question I received when I conducted a short interview after I was released was how to express myself through the theme of "fashion expressing myself." At the time, I said, "I think fashion is the process of creating your own work by combining various colors, patterns, and styles, like art. Some days I can express myself by wearing comfortable, casual looks, and some days I can choose elegant and colorful outfits. Not only fashion, but I also feel like I'm someone who keeps trying new challenges." I don't know much about art, but I would say that art is freedom of expression. I think art exists to express one's feelings and thoughts freely. Hong Eun-ji: I'm ashamed to answer these questions because my knowledge of art is shallow, but I think I can answer that art has no choice but to exist because there are people living on Earth. I think we all have an instinct to express and share our inner thoughts and feelings. If someone responds to it and feels something, I think it's called art. As I encountered tens of thousands of works at the Ars Electronica exhibition, I thought a lot, 'What is art, to what extent is art?' When I sympathize with the person who created this, "Did you mean to say this?" the message was more memorable. The greater the emotional experience, the more intense the memory is, so Ars Electronica seems to function to imprint the problems of the times as art to people all over the world. Q. Lastly, please say something to the students of Sungkyunkwan University. | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: I think there are a lot of classmates who are thinking about whether they are on the right path. Of course, it's the same for me. Is this right even on the street? There may be times when I want to, but I always think that it is the process of finding the correct answer even if I take a detour. I'm also looking for my way, and I think I'm still wandering. I want to say that everyone has no destination, no correct answer. But I want you to try various things to find your way. It won't be easy for me to find my way, but I hope my vocal classmates can cheer up and find my way together! Have a happy day today! Lee Ji-min: I want to become a vocal student who tries everything he wants to do. I was excited to enter the international stage while preparing for 2023 ARS Electronica, but I was also afraid. However, it was an experience that I gained a lot through challenges, and it became an unforgettable memory of my college life. I hope you become a proud vocal student who challenges and produces results together. 2023 is just around the corner. I hope you all end the year healthy! | | Discord Cho Yong-min: Sungkyunkwan University is definitely a proud and great school, but there will be nothing we can gain if we don't do anything just because we are admitted. If you look a little bit, there are various opportunities and systems that schools, and many professors, have created for students. I hope other classmates will also actively participate in the various good opportunities provided by the school and gain valuable experiences. Thank you. | | The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: I think we need to seize the opportunity that came like a coincidence. In the past, I thought I needed to improve my skills because I was not good enough, but now I think I should try even if I am not good enough. If you try it, you might think, "I should have done it in the beginning," or you might think, "As expected, it doesn't fit me." But I think it's important to quickly eliminate areas that don't fit me and try something else. In a way, I discovered myself that I didn't know. I want to tell you that you have to take the opportunity. It's better to try and regret it than to regret it without trying it! Hong Eun-ji: It reminds me of the words of Lee Min-jin, author of Pachinko, to respect and cherish your inner curiosity. When I'm curious about something, I think I have to ask and challenge myself to bring unexpected experiences and opportunities. I hope more Sungkyunkwan University students will have a chance to participate in Ars Electronica next year. Thank you! -

- [23.11.14] Beyond the Sight, Faculty of Global Convergence, Arts Electronica to perform art ①
- The International Media Art Festival, ARS Electronica, was held in Linz, Austria, from September 6 to 10. The festival, which was held around the core agenda of the AI era, says that humans themselves need to ask questions about truth, ownership, rights, control, and responsibility under the theme of "Who Owns the Truth?" Students majoring in culture and technology convergence at the Department of Global Convergence also participated in the Ars Electronica Festival and performed their own art to their fullest. Under the same team called Beyond the Sight, they were divided into City of Hope: Hoffnungburg [Kim Ji-seop (18), Lee Ji-min (19), Discord [Cho Yong-min (18), Park Joon-ha (Cultec/Video 19), The Universe Thinks [Hong Eun-ji (Cultec/Consumer Studies 20), Park Ji-hye (Cultec 20), and Lee Soo-min (Cultec 20). Students said they received a lot of inspiration and feedback from interacting with various artists through this experience. Let's meet Beyond the Sight, who has gained a great driving force in taking the leap to the wider world. Q. Hello. Nice to meet you. Please introduce your work. | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Lee Ji-min: City of Hope: Hoffnungburg is an interactive art form that requires participation from visitors. Visitors measure their heart rate through a heart rate measurement sensor. And appreciate the virtual cities that are created. The audience's heart rate data is used as a medium through which the virtual city of Hoffnungburg is created and destroyed. In fact, it was designed to create a virtual building according to the heart rate of the visitors so that each visitor could build a different virtual city. We produced 3D works using Unreal Engine 5, and Arduino and heart rate measurement sensors were used to render data in real time. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: Discord is a media art installation artwork that utilizes projection mapping, objects, and sound effects. It is produced in the form of installation art as a means of effectively delivering messages to the audience, and video media and sound effects are repeatedly played in the form of loops. Discord makes the audience feel audiovisually that an object representing the Earth is unstable due to the sounds of disgust and conflict. The sound generated by the woofer speaker shakes the earth-shaped spherical object connected by wire, and according to the sound, the image reacts as if it were covering the shadow of the spherical object. Through this, the audience can look back on our society and pursue peace by conveying the message that small sounds of hate and conflict can shake the whole planet. | | The Universe Thinks Hong Eun-ji: The Universe Thinks is an interactive piece that expresses the uniqueness of human intelligence with data visualization tools. Three data (average number of filament strands of neurons and cosmic giant structures, beta wave data, and voice frequency data) were used in the work. These three types of data overlap and change throughout the exhibition, including real-time voice data from visitors collected through the microphone. Q. What message did you want to convey through this work? | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: The main exhibition theme of ARS Electronica was 'Who Owns the Truth?' Through this exhibition, our team thought about the relationship between artificial intelligence and technology. In fact, I thought that the Fourth Industrial Revolution was an endless development in technology, and that the living environment changed rapidly as it efficiently handled vast amounts of data that were difficult for only humans to handle. Our team thought that only humans could develop technology, and artificial intelligence was also looking at it from the same perspective. So I wanted to show through this work that the full owner of this technology is human. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: Our team thought about what would be the biggest issue that people all over the world could share in common in modern society. Then, I came up with the idea of conveying the message that if small hatred and discrimination spread, it could return to a big conflict, and the work "Discord" started from there. Conflicts on large and small scales have always existed historically, but in modern society, diversity and equality are especially respected, and conflicts between traditional and new perceptions are emanating with the development of the media. In response, our team defined the global spread of mutual hate and discrimination as the biggest fundamental problem in modern society and wanted to raise the audience's awareness of these problems. Through Discord, the sound of hate and discrimination is shown to the audience audiovisually to shake the Earth unstable, allowing the audience to reflect on hate and discrimination and ultimately displaying the work with the aim of peace. | | The Universe Thinks Hong Eun-ji: ARS Electronica held this year's festival based on the question, "Who owns the truth?" Our team, who was interested in digital art, came across a public offering program held by the Department of Culture and Technology Convergence in our school. Since the era of Asian Super Intelligence (ASI) is not far away, we started brainstorming with the question, "Is our intelligence really special?" Then, I learned that the human neuron neural network and the universe's giant structure not only externally resembled, but also had excellent mathematical similarities among many natural phenomena, and I wanted to convey the message that "nature itself represents the uniqueness of human intelligence." Q. I wonder if there are any differences compared to the work I've been doing so far. | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: I haven't done many works to compare them, but when I've done them, I wanted to show the convergence of technology and art. In this work, I wanted to create something that develops the work by interacting with external "machines," so I made a production using "Arduino," which others may be familiar with. In the past, if we had manufactured with devices with clear usage and utilization, it seems that designing a machine to expand through Arduino was different from the work we had done so far. Lee Ji-min: I've never made a finished work before. I've had a few experiences planning games and organizing teams so far, but I've never made art like this before. The City of Hope: Hoffnungburg exhibition at the 2023 ARS Electronica is my first work. Compared to game production, I think the characteristic of this interactive art work is that it was able to implicitly express the message I wanted to convey. Games and our works (interactive art) have something in common that they only work with user manipulation. However, while games are designed and produced to deliver "fun," I believe the purpose of interactive art is to deliver a key message through the display. I think this is different from the previously planned content. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: As our team consisted of the Department of Imaging and Nuclear Communication, we had experience producing many works such as motion graphics and movie videos. I've also worked on commercial advertising videos and music production, but most of them were for the general public in Korea. This exhibition at the ARS Electronica Festival was new in that it featured works with numerous foreign artists on the global stage. The genres were really diverse, and I was able to have cross-border exchanges by talking to high-quality artists. Numerous artists and audiences in Europe did not just appreciate the work, but shared and agonized over the meaning of the work by giving constructive feedback. In the process, we were able to have a differentiated exhibition experience that was not possible in Korea. | | The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: Before that, I only made works with class projects and I didn't have much experience in making works, so this ARS Electronica was my first step as an artist. As it was my first time, I was disappointed with myself because I didn't know many things and was inexperienced. Honestly, I still don't know what art is. I suddenly think that not knowing what it is will be art. I think when I came back to the text and felt disappointed that I wasn't good at it and didn't know, I rather acknowledged that I didn't know and thought about what I could do and what was the next step. There were many things I've never seen before, and I stayed up all night to make it happen, but I think I could see my limitations. Hong Eun-ji: It's the first time I've ever been involved in digital art or creating exhibition works, not art majors. All they showed in front of people was pictures or videos edited for club performances or hobbies. But everything was a new challenge as I participated as an artist in a global digital art exhibition. Q. Is there a memorable episode that happened during the creative process? | | City of Hope: Hoffnungburg Kim Ji-seop: Most of all, what happened at the exhibition hall was the most memorable. During the exhibition, the role of curator was also performed at the same time, but it was difficult to explain in English and a second language, not Korean, but the audience's position was similar to ours. Even if we didn't understand each other in words, it was most impressive to understand the flow of the conversation. Lee Ji-min: I remember working all night at Hyehwa Cafe. There was a large-scale revision during the production process of the work, and at that time, there were signals saying, "Let's finish it even if we stay up all night." In the late hours, we took turns taking a nap for an hour to cheer each other up, and eventually we completed it. | | Discord Cho Yong-min: Originally, the concrete object to be used in the work was planned to be made using a 3D printer, but the professor who saw the plan asked me to make a prototype by the next day. At that time, with the mindset that the project might fail if I couldn't make a prototype, I remember using woodlock bought at a stationery store and making it by hand for nearly 20 hours. It was difficult at that time, but when I think about it, it was an essential process in the process of making the work. |The Universe Thinks Park Ji-hye: It was fun extracting EEG data measurements myself. Three brainwave data were used to show human intelligence, and beta wave data was extracted from five types of brainwaves. During the meeting, I recorded the EEG data, Eun-ji recorded the data when writing the book report, and Sumin observed the changes when memorizing the play script. It was amazing because it was my first time recording EEG data. Hong Eun-ji: When I look back on the creative process, I remember worrying about whether it would work out as the first runner of Sungkyunkwan University and working in a hurry on Deadline that suddenly appeared. A fun episode was when we first extracted brain waves with an EEG meter. It was fascinating when our EEG graph was drawn on the iPad screen after successfully connecting to the machine. When I closed my eyes and was relaxed, I saw the alpha brainwave data go up, and when I imagined or focused on something, I watched it fluctuate in the beta brainwave quite interestingly.
