The effect of binaural beat-based audiovisual stimulation on brain waves and concentration

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the effect of binaural beat auditory stimulation on EEG. In particular, this research focused on alpha and beta waves of EEG, which are known to be closely related to attention. As a result, we were able to confirm that alpha waves are more active on all channels when providing alpha binaural beats than in meditation, and the temporal lobe was activated when we provided a beta binaural beat. Also, when we provided the alpha and beta binaural beats, the attention and concentration index was more activated on most channels. These results can help build content that is based on attention and concentration using binaural beat. © 2018 IEEE.
