A 21-posture meditation yoga program significantly improved EEG-measured meditation and attention scores in healthy individuals.
The objective of this study was the study of brainwave activity and cognitive performance by meditation yoga. Study design was experimental design. This study compared the brainwaves of healthy people both before and after practicing by meditation yoga. Samples consisted of ten healthy people with no history of illness, no brain disease, never attended brain surgery. By conducting electroencephalogram (EEG) measurement by the NeuroSky Smarter Kit through the program “MindWave Mobile” showed average level of meditation and attention. Participants also practiced 21 meditation postures yoga program. The results revealed that the post-test scores of all ten healthy people that practiced with 21 meditation postures yoga program had meditation and attention score higher than before training with significant difference at 95% confidence level.
