The Behavior And EEG Study Of Integrative Body-Mind Training

After practicing and experiencing the body-mind modulation methods for many years, Dr Tang Yiyuan created the Integrative Body-Mind Training method,which is the aggregation of the trandtional Chinese and western medical science, brain science, and modern psychology. In this article, we use cognition behavior method and electroencephalography to analyze the Integrative Body-Mind Training's function and brain mechanism. The main contents and conclusions are presented as follows:1. The theory of the Integrative Body-Mind Training will be introduced in great detail including physiology, training contents and the research approach. It lays the theoretical foundation for the further research on the Integrative Body-Mind Training.2. The Integrative Body-Mind Training will be explored in terms of behavioral research. We test the sbjects' training effects by using the POMS(profile of Mood states) questionnaire and the ANT(Attentional Network Test). After five-day Body-Mind training, the POMS shows that the positive mood is promoted, and the negative mood is decreased. The ANT shows that the conflict network efficiency of the objects is promoted significantly.3. The Integrative Body-Mind Training will be explored in the case of EEG study. We will briefly introduce the EEG theory. Then the frequency analysis in EEG data processing will be discussed in detail in this article. The theory of frequency analysis is based on Fourier transformation, Therefore, it is very important to know the Fourier transformation. After the five-day test of the EEG of the Integrative Body-Mind Training, when the subjects of the training group close their eyes, the alpha, theta and gamma waves all have increased. At the same time, the waves of the training group and control group are different significantly.In this article, the Integrative Body-Mind Training's function and brain mechanism are briefly elaborated by both behavioral and EEG.
