The study on the effect of neuro-feedback trainings on the brain waves of baduk players

Abstract

This study has been focused on grasping the possibilities of the change of brain waves and baduk skills, whose data were obtained both before and after the neuro-feedback from 1th July, 2010 to 30th September, 2010. Brain wave activities were measured by performing the linear-analysis of the data obtained on the frontal lobe of research subjects (the experimental group of 10 baduk players, and the control group of 10) after the neuro-feedback training. The data show that the experimental group has the higher mean difference than the control group, and there were statistically significant differences in Attention Quotient (right) (P=0.049), emotional quotient (P=0.025), and Stress Resistance Quotient (left) (P=0.004) and (right) (P=0.003). This means that the improved brain function quotient can lead to improved baduk skills through efficiency-optimization training. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
