Neurological Responses to Meditation with EEG Analysis Using Novel Empirical Fourier-Bessel Decomposition Approach
International Computer Science Conference February 20, 2025 Ashok Mahato, S. Bhalerao, R. B. Pachori et al.
A new method called empirical Fourier-Bessel decomposition (EFBD) was used to analyze brain wave patterns from 23 participants listening to the Rudram mantra. After listening, energy in delta, theta, and alpha brain rhythms increased significantly, indicating enhanced relaxation, improved concentration, and reduced anxiety. Brain region-specific analysis showed increased activity in the frontal and temporal regions. The method may help analyze meditation's impact on mental health.
