Abstract
This research investigates the effects of five sessions of Horizontal Rotation (HR) on human brainwaves synchronization using EEG. EEG signals were captured from 42 participants before and after undergoing HR using two-channel bipolar connection in a controlled environment. The signals were filtered and classified into the four frequency bands; Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. Graphs were plotted and paired T-test analysis was used to demonstrate the correlation between left and right brainwaves before and after HR to verify brainwave synchronization. It was observed that after five sessions of HR, brainwaves were more synchronized for all frequency bands with highest increment of 37% in Delta band while the lowest increment is at 6% for Theta band. Thus, there was evidence that HR could synchronize brainwaves.
