Method of evaluation of the minimal sample size for acoustical signal therapy monitored via electroencephalographic activity of human brain
Abstract
The aim of the study. Improvement of the preparation to the acoustical signal therapy test or experiment of electroencephalographic activity of human brain and validation of the specified test results.
The problem to be solved. Estimation of the minimal possible sample size for maintaining needed research accuracy in the research field of the electroencephalographic activity of human brain via monitoring of the brainwave patterns during exposure to the musical signal.
Main scientific results. New method for selection minimal passable sample size for brainwave pattern studies is presented. Example of application of method for one rhythm of the brainwaves (delta-rhythm) is shown. Perspective way of obtaining clinically valuable differences between test group results was acquired. Differences between mean values for groups of results of different types of music and stress factor exposure are presented.
The area of practical use of the research results. Research facilities dedicated to the study of electroencephalographic activity of human brain and medical facilities and institutions, dedicated to the treatment of pathologies of the central nervous system, brain damage, stress, and progressive post-stress action psychological state restoration.
An innovative technological product. Dedicated method for quick estimation of minimal passable sample size for brainwave pattern studies, which is recommended for usage in the studies of the implementation of music therapy.
The area of application of an innovative technological product. Electroencephalographic activity of human brain study via brainwave pattern research. Clinical practice of application of a music therapy.
