Aerobic exercise may transiently boost brain activation on EEG; hypothesis-generating for cognitive benefits and needs larger confirmatory trials.
Does aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer affect spontaneous EEG activity in participants?
Aerobic exercise transiently increases brain activation as measured by EEG, consistent with the opponent-process theory.
Kubitz et al. (1996) studied this question.
