Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of EEG theta waves formed in the brain during different mathematical and verbal tasks.
Do mathematical and verbal tasks alter EEG theta wave frequency and power in healthy males?
Do mathematical and verbal tasks alter EEG theta wave frequency and power in healthy males?
There is no significant change in the domain measurements, frequency, and power analysis of EEG theta waves during numerical and verbal correct and incorrect responses in healthy males.
Small observational study of theta EEG in students; leaves open any clinical or diagnostic utility pending larger validation.
The brain forms EEG waves due to mental processes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the EEG theta wave formed in the brain during different mathematical and verbal tasks. Twenty healthy medical students without any health problems were included in the study. The five questions were answered by the subjects via power point on the computer screen. Bipolar electrode positioning was performed. In this study, domain measurements, FFT and power spectral density were analyzed. As a result of the study, no statistically significant difference was found between EEG theta waves obtained as a result of both numerical and verbal correct and incorrect answers (p>0.05). An increase in mean amplitude was found in both the mathematical and verbal processes to respond incorrectly. As a result, no significant change was observed in the domain measurements, frequency and power analysis of EEG theta waves during numerical and verbal correct and incorrect responses.
