EEG Analysis for Brainwave Balancing Index (BBI)

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to establish the fundamental brainwave balancing index (BBI) using EEG signals. Brainwave signals from EEG were measured and analyzed using intelligent signal processing techniques and specific algorithm. Consequently, the signals were statistically correlated with established psychoanalysis techniques to produce BBI system. The result shows that the PSD analysis provides reliable BBI with 80% conformity. The fundamental findings (brainwave balancing index and brain dominance) from this research can be served as a simple indicator of one's thinking leading to great opportunity for positive human potential development. Keywords-brainwave; brainwave balancing index; EEGI.

Comparison between the Left and the Right Brainwaves for Delta and Theta Frequency Band after Horizontal Rotation Intervention

“…The International Federation of Societies for Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology has recommended the conventional electrode setting named 10-20 system [1,7]. EEG measurements are widely used in medical and neuroscience research areas using metal electrodes and conductive media [4][5][6].The EEG measured externally direct from the scalp surface is named electrocortiogram while when using depth probes it is called electrogram [4]. In this research, only EEG measured from the head surface is considered.…”

“…In this research, only EEG measured from the head surface is considered. Thus EEG procedure is completely non-invasive and can be applied repeatedly to patients, with virtually no risk or limitation [3][4][5][6]. Due to capability to reflect both the normal and abnormal electrical activity of the brain, EEG has been found to be a very powerful tool in the field of neurology and clinical neurophysiology [3,6].…”

“…The electrical waves of brain basically have small amplitude (approximately 100μV) and the frequency range from 0.2 Hz to 100 Hz. The spectrum of the EEG signal is divided into four dominant frequency bands [2][3][4][5][6]. These frequency bands called delta (0.2-3 Hz), theta (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), alpha (8-12 Hz) and beta (12-30 Hz) can be used for analyzing brain activities.…”

“…The brain cells called neurons interact with one another through trains of signal pulses producing brainwaves which can be detected using a device call Electroencephalogram [3][4][5][6]. EEG signals are irregular signals that have been recorded by the mounted electrodes on the scalp.…”

“…Additionally, the brain is also divided into two hemispheres, right and left. The left hemisphere is dominant in behavior involving language, speech and analysis whereas the right hemisphere is superior in perceiving, thinking, remembering and understanding [4].…”
