The Neural Impact of Breathwork on Innovation and Creativity in Engineers A Pilot Study
Pari Patel, Ryan Ahmed, Peter Van Woerkum et al. preprint
To investigate the neural and behavioral effects of structured breathwork protocols on innovation capacity and cognitive performance in professional engineers using real-time EEG monitoring. Fifteen engineers from Audi AG participated in a controlled experiment featuring three conditions: Alpha breathwork (coherent breathing), Gamma breathwork (rapid nasal cycles), and control. Eight...
