Abstract
Music has been known as a powerful tool that can change brain activities. This pilot study aims to investigate the impact of listening to nursery rhymes on brain Waves specifically Alpha and Beta wave activities when music played by a professional musician, a robot called Pepper, and a boom box. Applying Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and statistical analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) data revealed a strong correlation between brain wave activities of individuals who listened to music played by a robot or a musician. Also, despite the study hypothesis that listening to nursery rhymes may calm individuals, it made some participants restless.
