The paper summarises the results of experiments carried out to investigate the e ect of a narrow-band noise in the range 4 8 Hz and of the acoustic pressure SPL = 110 dB(HP) on the alpha waves in the EEG signal. The test group included 23 males aged 21 33. It is found out that white noise in the infrasound range 4 8Hz leads to changes of amplitudes of the spectral power density of alpha waves. ...

In this paper, the reflection and refraction of longitudinal wave from a plane surface separating a micropolar viscoelastic solid half space and a fluid saturated incompressible half space is studied. A longitudinal wave (P-wave) impinges obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios for various reflected and transmitted waves have been obtained. Then these amplitude ratios have been computed nu...

Oscillatory activity plays a critical role in the brain. Here, we illustrate the dynamics of neural oscillations in the motor system of the brain. We used a non-directional cue to instruct participants to prepare a motor response with either the left or the right hand and recorded electroencephalography during the preparation of the response. Consistent with previous findings, the amplitude of ...

This paper is concerned with the effect of pure shear on the reflection from a plane boundary of infinitesimal plane waves propagating in a half-space of incompressible isotropic elastic material. For a special class of constitutive laws it is shown that an incident plane harmonic wave propagating in the considered plane gives rise to a surface wave in addition to a reflected wave (with angle o...

INTRODUCTION The basic objective of this study is to investigate the effects of alpha and theta brain waves amplitude increase in occipital area on reducing the severity of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and to increase the global functioning level in patients with GAD. METHODS This study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with two groups. For this purpose, 28...

This study investigated the proposition of relaxation offered by performing the Muslim prayers by measuring the alpha brain activity in the frontal (F3-F4), central (C3-C4), parietal (P3-P4), and occipital (O1-O2) electrode placements using the International 10-20 System. Nine Muslim subjects were asked to perform the four required cycles of movements of Dhuha prayer, and the EEG were subsequen...

We examined the effects of essential oil from legal (THC <0.2% w/v) hemp variety on the nervous system in 5 healthy volunteers. GC/EIMS and GC/FID analysis of the EO showed that the main components were myrcene and β-caryophyllene. The experiment consisted of measuring autonomic nervous system (ANS) parameters; evaluations of the mood state; and electroencephalography (EEG) recording before tre...
