Topographic EEG mapping of the relaxation response

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the central nervous system effects of the relaxation response (RR) in novice subjects using a controlled, within- subjects design and topographic EEG mapping as the dependent measure. Twenty subjects listened to a RR and control audiotape presented in a counterbalanced order while EEG was recorded from 14 scalp locations. The RR condition produced greater (p < .0164) reductions in frontal EEG beta activity relative to the control condition. No significant differences wer… Show more

“…Procedures for EEG recording, analysis, and quantification were similar to those that we have previously employed and described (Jacobs, Benson, & Friedman, 1996). EEG was recorded using a Lycra stretchable cap (manufactured by Electro-Cap International, Inc., Eaton, OH) which was positioned on the subject's head according to known anatomical landmarks (Bloom & Anneveld, 1982).…”

“…In the left temporal region, high amplitude alpha waves replaced beta rhythm in one participant, this is consistent with studies done in the past. [6,7] It points toward relaxing effect produced by lavender.…”

“…Ezzel párhuzamosan csökken-ti a menekülésre vagy védekezésre való felkészülést biztosító arousalt, ami a vérnyomás és a szívritmus csökkenésével, valamint a fiziológiai folyamatok paraszimpatikus harmonizációjával jár együtt. Ezen keresztül a képzeleti tevékenység önmagában is csökkenti a fájdalomélményt meghatározó arousal-komponenseket, így a fájdalom csökken (Jacobs, Benson, & Friedman, 1996;Lazar és mtsai, 2000). Hadjistavropoulos és Craig (2004) összefoglaló kötetükben részletesen tárgyalják a különbözõ pszichológiai fájdalomcsökkentõ módszereket, amelyek között a képzeletnek is fontos szerepe van.…”
