Experimental model of rats neurorehabilitation
Panas, Maria ; Angerová, Yvona (advisor) ; Matolínová, Vendula (referee)
Modern neurorehabilitation improves the quality of life for people with brain injury. An important role of modern physiotherapy is to apply all latest findings of brain neuroplasticity and to support and strengthen it. The theoretical part of my work focuses on the physiology and pathophysiology of the central nervous system, the definitions of neuroplasticity, its mechanisms and the possible uses in rehabilitation, and it looks at different types of neurorehabilitation and its foundation. My work also reviews various substances that can influence neuroplasticity. The practical part of my work describes a neurorehabilitation experimental model of laboratory rats and the resulting experimental outcomes.

The effectiveness of binaural beats to induce a relaxation states
VEJBOR, Roman
This bachelor thesis deals with studies of binaural beats, specially their effect on the signal, measured by EEG. The aim of this study was to investigate if binaural beats are an effective tool to induce relaxation states, namely increased brain actvity in the alfa and theta frequencies. The theoretical part describes electrical activity of the brain, the issue of binaural beats and researches related to this issue. Following several chapters are about neuroplasticity as a possible aspect of the effectiveness of binaural beats. Penultimate chapter mentions the question of consciousness and is also linked to altered states of consciousness. Conclusion of the teoretical part is focused on the method of electroencephalography. The practical part is devoted to a research project in which brain activity has been examined in experiment while listening to the two types of audio records. Record of relaxing music and record of relaxing music with binaural beats implemented. Research was attended by a total of thirteen college students of the University of South Bohemia. The sample was selected using the snowball method. Data were processed and analyzed in the program EEGlab and subsequently evaluated using a statistical method ANOVA and paired T -test. To depict results spectral analysis was used.
