Comparison of EEG sleep characteristic with music and aromatherapy stimuli

Abstract

The quality of human's sleep can be determined by reading the bio-potentials signals in the brain, commonly called as electroencephalograph (EEG). In order to detect this signal, we placed an EEG sensor at some points around the head. In this research, we investigated the effect of Sundanese music and aromatherapy bio-composite from Myristica Fragrans on day sleep quality. We compared the EEG sleep characteristic with music and aromatherapy stimuli. The feature extraction uses wavelet transform. Finally, the experimental result shows that EEG signal frequency with music stimuli is higher than aromatherapy stimuli statistically.
