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.
